The service at Unagi Yondaime Kikukawa Singapore was warm and attentive. When I started coughing shortly after we arrived for dinner, the staff immediately offered me a cup of warm tea, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We ordered one Hitsumabushi Set, a Kebayaki Set, and a mixed tempura to share. The portions were generous, and we left completely stuffed. The Kebayaki had a nice, slightly crispy texture without being dry, and the tempura was outstanding—crispy on the outside yet light and fluffy inside. The hojicha tea was really good quality and the perfect way to wash it all down. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

Weekday unagi lunch at this Scotts road Japanese outlet. Primarily an unagi menu. We tried the ippon jyu set and a tempura set lunch. Exquisite presentation. Good service. Tables a little too close so waiting staff had to squeeze to delivery huge platters. A little noisy. I liked the unagi but my wife thought it lacked the usual sweetness. The tempura was perfect. Pricey experience.

I’ve visited this place a few times and it never fails to impress. The food is consistently delicious, especially the unagi which is always perfectly cooked. Staff are very friendly and helpful, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommended!

Went to try since we never could understand the hype about unagi. Service was tip top and efficient. I changed my reservations and they accommodated. Ambience was good. Cozy but a little smoky due to the bbq of the unagi. Parking is aplenty in Shaw House. After 6pm is a flat fee of $4. We ordered 2 unagi , 1 egg roll and 1 liver. Let's talk about the egg roll first. Plating, egg wrap done wonderfully well. However egg has no seasoning probably due to chef worry spoil unagi taste. It was flat. But portion was good. The fried liver was excellent. Our first time having it and fried to perfection with a slight salty taste. The unagi set (large) came with a side miss soup with some unfried liver. Liver tasted so good. They tried to Elevate the soup taste with some yuzu and miscellaneous items but I didn't like it. Unagi was huge since we ordered the large portion. Seasoning was good. Not too salty and you can pour more sauce on your own. However the bottom of the unagi was slightly burnt and had a bitter taste. Which basically spoilt the taste. Overall. It's a good try but I won't be coming again. Total bill : $140+ after gst and service charge 2 x unagi set at $48 each set 1 x egg roll 1 x fried liver

Superb service. If it’s your first time, they will explain the menu items and teach you how to eat it. Tried both the grilled eel without sauce and with sauce. Both tasted great. Loved the tempura too. Portion is big. Will definitely come again.

This is my favourite Unagi restaurant in Singapore. Yes, it is a chain from Japan. But yes it really reflects the unagi experience from Japan. You can trust me on this one! Have visited here 5 times and many more to come 😊🤭

Had such a wonderful dining experience at Unagi Yondaime Kikukawa Singapore! The sushi were incredibly fresh and beautifully presented, and the unagi was absolutely top-notch , rich, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. The cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. A special mention to Mary,Ruby and Ederma, who are very accommodating and attentive, always checking what we needed to make our experience memorable. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Japanese flavors and warm hospitality.

If you want to savour fresh grilled eels or Unagi, you should not miss this restaurant. They told me they import live eels from Japan and only slaughter them 30 minutes before the restaurant opens for business each day. They would grill the eels only upon customer order. So there you have it, freshly grilled live Unagi, cannot be any fresher. Also, the serving of the eel is very generous such that I couldn’t finish it and have to give the leftover to my spouse. The eel is meaty, flavourful and well grilled. I prefer adding more Unagi sauce and they would make it taste better. But I think if the eel could be further grilled till crispy on one side, it would be perfect. Overall, food is nice. Ambiance is typical Japanese style and the service is excellent. $$

There are many specialty unagi restaurants here in Singapore, and having been to almost all of them, I really like this one and would probably recommend everyone to try here once and just enjoy the exquisiteness and privateness of the restaurant. Unassuming on the outside (and easy to miss), the inside decoration just mirrors what a Japanese restaurant would look like. Small outlet with an open kitchen that outlooked the grill station for the Unagi, there is no smell at all despite so. We not only ordered the Hitsumabushi set for each of us, we also have sashimi and tempura moriawase. The true test of the 5 star food is that there is no drop of quality and standards to the sashimi and tempura despite this being a unagi specialty restaurant. The Hitsumabushi set is really good for one person (you don't really need other starters). The unagi is grilled perfect with a light char at the side and both crispy and tender when you put in your mouth. The accompanied broth (soup) is light and fresh, adding to the flavour and if you follow the traditional way of eating unagi rice, then you wouldn't miss the broth. Overall, a very good meal, though the price is slightly above expectations (but worth every penny!). Service was excellent too! p/s their wasabi is freshly grated!

The unagi is beautifully coated in sauce that's both sweet and smoky. The fish itself is incredibly tender, and the addition of citrus flake brings a bright, refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish. Presentation is thoughtful and appealing. The iced roasted tea is also notably fragrant and complements the meal well. However, the dining experience was slightly hindered by the small table size — items felt precariously balanced, and it was difficult to reach across without risking a spill. The atmosphere was also quite loud, which made conversation challenging at times.
