This place is a gem. They have a wide range of high quality beers and decent food. Their lunch sets are great value and they have healthy choices, though I think they have downgraded the lunch sets a bit over the past year. I preferred the old side salad that used to come with it. Service is friendly. Outside of the lunch specials, they also have a large selection of yakitori (kushiyaki) that’s fairly tasty. The beer selection also changed regularly so it’s easy to try new varieties. You can now only view the menu online and the system is spotty. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Had a good beer and just a normal relax time on a Friday. Ambience is very good. Thanks to the good service of Brent and Dama.

It's a nice Japanese bar. Great for hanging out with friends, grabbing a drink or two, or just after a long day at work. I really liked the number of draft beers they have on tap; very wide ranging options. Food wise, it's nothing special; but does go really well with the beer and the overall ambiance. Very typical Japanese bar food, with a wide ranging selection from the fried items, to skewers, and rice, noodles, salad. I really like the salmon ikura handroll that my friend ordered. Service is good, lovely, does the job. If you have questions, they'll have answers. One downside, however, is how it's outdoors, outside 313 Somerset leading towards Cineleisure. Rain or shine, the bar is exposed to the sounds and the elements; although they do try to block out the weather if it does rain.

Arrived at 313 Somerset at about 2 pm. Feeling famished. No idea what to eat here. Came across this eatery and decided to give it a try. Ordered the chashu set lunch. The meat is OK but a little tough. Taste is fine. The side dishes are OK but the jellyfish has a weird taste. The black beer is smooth and rich. Taste really good. Service is quick and services are helpful. They need to smile more.

Had dinner and drinks here with friends after work on a Friday evening. Ordered a bunch of izakaya food, including skewers of various types, gyoza, karaage, katsu, etc. I had the Beijing wheat beer which was not bad, but didn't like the orange wheat beer. Total came up to about $440+ for 10pax.

I’m dining at Jibiru Somerset today, and as a vegetarian, my food choices were quite limited. However, I’d like to specially commend a staff member named KC (male). He was extremely patient and took the time to carefully explain which dishes were suitable for me. His friendly attitude and genuine willingness to help made my dining experience much more pleasant. Excellent service like this truly makes a difference. Thank you, KC!

I have been coming here since last year when i needed to be checked urgently and everyone here at the clinic has been super helpful with everything from start to finish. Would recommend 100%

I had my cataract lens replaced with it became cloudy in a govt eye centre. However, the lens was dropped inside my eyeball during the Covid season. I could not see anything except shades of lights. It was panicky. Luckily, I had kept in mind about Dr Claudine Pang through an article in the papers prior to my incident. To get the appointment was a breeze through their website apps. Upon reaching the office, my first impression was the staff are very helpful and interested in your problem. I can feel the care, concern and sincerity in their questions. I was put through the very advance machines to check my eyeballs, retinas, vision and eye pressure and you get the complete and thorough examination of your eye in this hour. Dr Claudine Pang was a young, petite and sweet lady. But lo and behold, inside this ophthalmologist packs a set of strong skills, knowledge with experience and confidence to recommend an emergency vitrectomy ,laser my retina in case it came off and replaced my dropped lens. A exceptional skill worth noting is how she is able to insert the lens through my sutured iris, which as torn in the first operation. It demands skills of the highest level, steady hands and concentration to ensure the iris is not torn. Each and every follow up with Dr Claudine Pang was very professional and she is very detail and clear in her explanation and I get to ask any questions, always never rushed. While the cost is the standard for a private ophthalmologist, Dr Claudine Pang has kindly waived off or lowered some charges when she knew that my business is not doing well, all without me asking for it. After going through so many experiences in my eye, I am glad to have met an opthalmologist that shows care and concern that truly upholds the true meaning of the Hippocratic Oath.

Visited clinic for regular check. Very experienced, patient and understanding doctor and staff. always willing to listen and assist to answer any questions. highly recommended.

I started noticing floaters in my right eye in May and visited Asia Retina two days later to get them checked out. Through the use of cutting edge Optomap retinal imaging, Dr Pang and her team quickly identified the issue as a hemicentral retinal vein occlusion and further confirmed this via fundus fluorescein angiography. While there was a considerable amount of new information to take in, Dr Pang was exceptional at explaining what the results meant in easy to understand ways and the follow-up steps for treatment. Dr Pang prescribed eye pressure-lowering medication to help speed up the recovery and indeed the floaters receded immensely within the coming weeks. She was also extremely rigorous in diagnosing the root cause of the occlusion and arranged for me to take a comprehensive blood test two days after my initial appointment as she suspected it was underlying health-related and wanted to cover all the bases. Shortly after the blood test results came out that night, Dr Pang called me directly and identified the likely root cause as being cholesterol-linked (my LDL was exceedingly high). She then immediately referred me to an endocrinologist and wrote a detailed letter explaining the situation, leading to a referral consultation the very next day. All of this was done within days of when I first noticed symptoms; while this was an incredibly stressful time for me, I could not help but be in awe of the efficiency and rigor of Dr Pang and her team. Around the same time, my short-term visit pass in Singapore was set to expire and Dr Pang was proactive in providing documentation for a medical extension of stay until I managed to secure a longer term extension. In the seven months since, I've had recurring check-ins with Dr Pang and her team to monitor my recovery progress and the quality of all of these follow-ups has continually been nothing short of first class. I'm so happy to say that I've now made a full recovery and I have Dr Pang and her team largely to thank for this. There aren't enough superlatives to describe the efficiency, thoroughness, quality, and effort in the work they do, which from Day One has left me beyond grateful and speechless. I'll be leaving Singapore and returning to the States at the end of the year and among the many incredible things about Singapore I'll miss, one is definitely my interactions with Dr Pang and her team. This is truly the first and only time in my life I'll miss going to the doctor haha! :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr Pang and Asia Retina Team for everything you've done since the beginning of this journey!
