En Izakaya Teppanyaki

After seeing papparich was closed so we decided to give this place a try since it’s right beside it.<br/ <br/ Service: 10/10<br/ We were immediately serviced when we entered the restaurant and the waitress was very polite and poured us water. The man that served our food was very happy and made us feel very happy. They were very kind throughout our entire lunch service.<br/ <br/ Food: 9/10<br/ I ordered the tempura lunch dish. The tempura was crispy and fresh, the sushi tasted very good and fresh. The platter was beautifully displayed. There wasn’t a lot of rice and the portion isn’t big but I did feel satisfied after the meal. <br/ <br/ Ambiance: 10/10<br/ The restaurant had individual sections to allow more privacy and there is also a bar. The wooden benches and decorations make the entire place seem more traditional. It’s a peaceful quiet restaurant perfect for a nice meal with family.

Was short on time for lunch on a Friday around 1pm so decided to have a quick Bento Box. Yum! The staff was very friendly, food came very quickly and it was amazing. The tuna just melted in your mouth, the chicken was soft and tasty, they also had mushrooms, squid balls, mashed potato and miss. Everything was perfect. Definitely planning on another visit so we can fully enjoy the food as this time we were a bit rushed. See you Soon!

As you can pick up from the name, the restaurant consists of two parts: Izakaya (small bar and tapas) and Teppanyaki (iron griddle). On entrance, you 've got the Izakaya on the left side, and the Teppanyaki on the right side of the restaurant.<br/ <br/ I 've only been to the Izakaya side so far and the experience has been very good. On entrance and when seated (close to the door) you will see a mural of a Japanese dragon painting, along with a corner of a Japanese style bar, lit with calming tones of purple and blue lights, possibly to resemble a sea ship/fishing theme. <br/ <br/ The Izakaya part offers a wide selection of Japanese sake and beers, and a good selection of Japanese tapas to accompany the beverages. <br/ <br/ [The photos below include]:<br/ <br/ Tuna Tataki<br/ Grilled Miso Pork Belly<br/ Mixed Sashimi (small size)<br/ 8 piece mixed sushi<br/ <br/ The food came very fast, beautifully presented, and tasted very fresh! The restaurant also offers small options of Yakitori (listed on the side of the wall where you are seated) at decent prices.<br/ <br/ The the Izakaya part is probably not for those wanting to get 'full ' unless you are willing to order more. After all, they are supposed to be 'tapas '. <br/ <br/ I personally think the place is better for those intending to drink or to enjoy happy hour/afterwork drinks and socialising, with small bites on the side to accompany the drinks rather than a place for those wanting to get a full meal out of it (it 's probably better to go to the Teppanyaki side if you want to eat a decent full meal). <br/ <br/ The restaurant overall was very clean and staff service was friendly and very welcoming! Definitely a great place for social gatherings!

Great meal from start to finish.  Teppan Yaki chef paid particular attention to kids trying new foods, put on the best show was a great night out.  New favourite restaurant in the city.

Really enjoyed it, was having a pretty bad day but the entertaining chef definitely did lighten me up with his humour. The food is really good as fresh as well. Definitely recommend
