Akimitsu - Singapore

The best tendon I've ever had! The batter was crispy and delicious, while the inside remained soft and juicy. Every penny I spent felt truly worthwhile. The portions of tempura were generous, although there was less rice than I expected, which was perfectly fine. Since it was our first visit, we ordered the signature tendon set. The tempura included white fish, prawns, seaweed, mushrooms, long green beans, carrots, eggplant, sweet potato, and an egg. There's also a spicy version of this set, which is great! Plus, they offer free-flow fermented bean sprouts on the table—such a healthy touch!

I visited the restaurant after lunch hours and found it to be quite empty, with no lines to wait in. The food is prepared fresh to order, and everything is fried once you place your order. The chawanmushi was fairly standard but could use a bit more flavor. The tendon dishes were fried to a perfect golden brown crisp! The rice is topped with their special sauce, which enhances the overall dish significantly. The fried fish was flaky, the shrimp was tender, and the vegetables remained moist. Don’t forget to finish your meal with a glass of iced tea! I’ll definitely be returning.

The food is good and the service is excellent. The chijimi is a bit too oily for my taste, and the serving size of the chawanmushi is somewhat small. Otherwise, everything was delicious!

We saved about $3 just for being members. 2) **Order the Kids' Set:** Choose the children’s meal option which includes two choices: rice or noodles. Opt for the noodles, as the portion is similar to an adult size and can be shared. 3) **Check for Lunch Specials:** While these may not be the cheapest option, they offer decent flavors and include several fried items that are shareable. Just a heads up—the fried fish isn't the highlight; it tastes like the average, low-cost sutchi fish. However, the prawns are quite good. The staff were attentive, possibly because we visited during off-peak hours.

I recently visited a restaurant in North Point Yishun, and I was truly impressed. The food was outstanding, especially the Nankotsu Ramen, which was so delicious that I found myself wanting another bowl right away. My wife ordered the Mega Don, and it was equally delightful. The ambiance of the place was charming, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially Lu Yi. She was always cheerful and ready to assist us with anything we needed, and it was obvious that she genuinely enjoyed her work. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant with my kids. I have no regrets!
