My hubby chanced upon this Japanese restaurant located at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. After reading up some reviews on hungrygowhere.com, we decided to give it a try as all of its 6 reviews gave very good rating. So, it was lunch after service today.
We ordered 2 noodle sets and 2 ala-carte dishes, and total amount came up to S$49.10 after 10% discount off the ala-carte dishes (DBS credit card). Frankly, we didn’t think it was worth the amount nor were the food as good as they were reviewed. So it was quite a disappointment ;( Have a look below:
Maguro Tataki S$10: 5 slices of tuna with the edges slightly cooked – it was only so-so, not fantastically sweet.
Kaki fry S$10: 6 pcs of fried oyster – over-cooked and hence the oysters were dry and not sweet at all. The batter was a bit too salty for my liking. So far, I find the fried oysters at Tonkichi one of the best ;)
Tori Teriyaki RamenS$12.80 – teriyaki chicken with ramen. The noodle wasn’t ‘springy’ at all, probably over-cooked and the teriyaki chicken wasn’t worth praises either ;p
Ishikawa Special Ramen (I changed it to Udon) – came with 2 grilled prawns with wasabi mayonnaise, and thin pork slices. The prawns were not warm when served. The only saving grace was the thin pork slices and I like it only because they were ‘sweet’ haha!! 
When we came home to double check the information on the website (just to be sure it was the right restaurant we went to which the reviewers raved about), we found the recommended dish to be their special maki (something like what Sushi Tei offers eg. Dragon maki).
BTW, the ocha and wet towels are complimentary items. The owner also served us complimentary vege sticks as starters, which otherwise costs S$3 (or S$5, can’t remember).
Anyway, don’t think we will go back again ;(
