I like the light savoury soup base for the shabu shabu, the fresh thin slices of pork and the crisp vegetables. In fact, I can't stop drinking the soup once started. The ponzu sauce is an excellent condiment to go with the shabu shabu.
As for the soba, it is great in texture, being smooth yet not soggy, and refreshing.
The teriyaki chicken is so excellently cooked. The charcoal taste is distinctive, but there is hardly any charred bits on the chicken. So the aroma is there, without the bitter taste of charred meat—best way to enjoy grilled meat.
Best of all, these dishes go so well with the pearl-like Japanese starchy rice. As I had said before, I am very fussy about the quality of rice. And the rice here meets my expectations to the point I have no problem finishing them.
The sashimi are fresh and very well-cut, not top of the tier but better than majority of its competitors. And at $33 only, completed with two slices of chutoro and a otoro sushi, this is exceedingly value for money. It is a real steal.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the Chinese guy manager. They even said farewell to the leaving patrons which is a pleasant surprise since staff of some restaurants in the higher range do not even do that. Ambience is decent also.
A nice choice to have lunch at if shopping in Takashimaya. Besides, Ginza Kuroson, this restaurant is our top choice to visit when at Ngee Ann city.
