Jinhonten

This was my first fine dining experience and it didn’t disappoint! Impeccable presentation, attentive service and an interesting interplay between the visual, textures and tastes. We chose the “special” omakase menu. All of the savoury dishes had an oceanic theme to them. Highlights were the hand roll, abalone soup and the sashimi. Highly recommended

An amazing experience dining in Jinhonten. Was glad I was given a seat at the counter so I could see the chefs in action. The seating is really intimate but I also felt the space between diners was also a little cramped. I have to say it was an exceptional meal which kept me enjoyable throughout, every dish was so special and delicious and also the use of the seafood was just so fresh. Really enjoyed every dish, but the most memorable ones had to be the Handroll and the Kegani, super tasty in my opinion. Also never had a warabi mochi which is so soft and can almost melt in the mouth. It was definitely one of the most premium dining with the extravagance of the ingredients used and also the effort of chef Issey and his team. "Shouting" of the waiters was a bit noisy in such a posh setting, but overall they were quite attentive.

Great omakase experience, would recommend it. Expensive but if price isn’t an issue then why not? Loved each dish. Chef cooked with passion and the Beef was the star of the night for me. Apologies for the brief review, visited a while ago and forgot to write one 😅

I've got to start this review by saying, I booked the restaurant blindly without looking at the reviews. I only saw the reviews right before the dinner and I had second thoughts. But I'm glad I went ahead with dining here tonight. The age of the internet is scary and reviews can easily make or break a business. I'm guessing because of the slew of bad reviews recently, the whole restaurant only consisted of the 2 of us. That said, we entered the restaurant and was greeted by a kinda disheartened and quiet chef. After awhile we got to talking and I could tell the bad reviews have gotten to him, he is after all known for his showmanship and all we got at first was a very quiet dinner. We are all human afterall. As the food started to come out I was blown away with the amazing flavours, this omakase isn't like the other "singaporean" styled omakase where they just try to stuff every single expensive item into every single dish with gold flakes and call it a day. All the flavours complimented each other perfectly and I licked clean each and every plate that was put infront of me. As it was my partner's birthday, at the end we were treated to Chef Araki-san singing happy birthday opera style and we all had a good laugh. Overall, it was a wonderful dinner with amazing food and service. I have to admit tho, the bill at the end was higher than what I'd like to have paid but being a restaurant under the Les Amis group it's しょうがない~.

Delicious dinner. I liked that the Omakase had a lot of cooked dishes and wasn’t just Sushi. Favorite dish was surprisingly the wagyu sando. Service was really friendly and attentive, felt like we had 3 people serving us.
