I walked in on a weekday without a reservation as there were many empty seats. Tried their beef tongue gyu tan set (thin) and iced tea. Beautiful to the eyes and grilled to perfection. The thick white yam slime went well with the barley rice. Price wise i think it's a tad pricier than the usual Japanese lunch you might find in the same mall. They have other usual more ordinary options in the menu if one does not enjoy beef tongue. Service was quick and polite.

Walked past this restaurant a few times and decided to try it.
Came for dinner and was surprised there wasn't much people.
The service was good and they explained to customers whom are first timers there.
The barley and rice mix was to soft for me but still manageable. The grilled ox tongue, beef and pork was great.

Went with the family to try out their tea menu. We ordered several tea sets for 2, the matcha affogato, gyoza, karaage, cheese fries and tuna salad. Everything was pretty well done! It was our first time here and the whole family was really impressed! Will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu.

The tongue meat is tender and rich in taste. The portions of meat and rice are quite generous, ensuring a satisfying meal. The dumpling skin is thin, providing a delightful texture that enhances the overall experience!

The meat was really good and tender. The sauce was really salty though. Unfortunately for the oyakodon, the rice wasn't well cooked. It was gooey and sticky. Spoilt that dish :(

During my last visit to Singapore, I reserved a table for lunch with my best friend. We arrived with a mix of excitement and curiosity, as the idea of eating tongue was a bit unsettling for us. In the end, we decided not to try the Gyutan, but the dishes I ordered did not disappoint. My cod fish was beautifully cooked, and the flavorful rice paired with rich yam was truly delightful. However, my friend wasn’t as pleased with her pork—it seemed undercooked or too rare for her taste. That said, the staff were incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain each dish to us, which added to the overall dining experience.

Ordered a mixed combo set w original sauce. Food was really well done, each thick or thin cut slice of beef tongue was perfectly grilled till juicy and tender.
Katsu sando from the lunch tea menu is also really good and filling for its price.
Matcha latte and hojicha latte is really good here and under $7.
Came during peak lunch hour, service is fast and courteous. When we came during the lunch tea period ard 4pm, host had time to talk to us and recommend their dishes.
Would def be coming back!

Food: 3/5
We ordered the premium and combo beef tongue. The spread of the set meal was great, which comes with a choice of miso or oxtail soup, salad, rice and a small plate of tororo. My biggest disappointment would definitely be the texture of the beef tongue. Since I got the premium cut, I expected the meat to melt and tender as I chew into them. But gosh, it was so rubbery that I almost gave up finishing them. I mean, I would’ve if it wasn’t for the above-average-casual-dining price tag.
Service: 3/5
Male service staff at the entrance and likely the manager, were both friendly. However, it would’ve been better for more proactive service, such as providing a glass of water. There was a female service staff who wasn’t unfriendly but instead, busy finding her momentum at work. It gave the impression that she’s likely a new starter.
Atmosphere: 3/5
The illustrations on the wall, menu and chopstick cover are very cute. Especially the centrepiece in the restaurant. However, the half-done ceiling made the place feel a tad dark and messy. Not a comfortable environment for me to chat while dining.
Nice to try, but I will not be back.

We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant! The food was excellent, and my children absolutely loved the kids’ meal. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the cod fish—it was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Overall, we were very happy with our meal and the service. We will definitely come back again! Highly recommended for families!
