Always love this restaurant for its authentic soba, but there are some pain points which can be improved.. especially given the premium price we are paying per pax.
1) The set of tempura n soba comes with a soba soya sauce only, without tempura sauce. The staff said the tempura sauce is only provided if I order a tempura set as an a la carte. However, the sauce became diluted n greasy (as seen in the pic).
2) Even though I ordered additional soba for $16, the restaurant refuse to serve me with a new soba sauce n commented I should continue to eat with the same sauce which is now already diluted n greasy. I will have to pay addition $4 if I want a new sauce for my soba.
These greatly dampened my dining experience. I would expect at a minimum, the right condiment matches with the right food to enhance the taste n flavor. The staff gave me a free soba sauce in the end. Instead of damage control, I hope they will view things from customer perspective and how to improve customer experience for that short 1hr time in their restaurant. I am likely going to another outlet instead of Takashimaya for my next soba craving.

Atmosphere is good. Food is salty the miso soup is salty too. Really nothing to shout about just because they are from Japan the food is really mediocre. Prawn is big for the tempura soba set. The soba is hard and we feedback they told us it is just like that! Service is lousy. The server can’t even understand when we told him the soba is hard. Like not well-cooked. This is definitely a one off visit!

A pity - I’ve been at least 4x in the last 2 years but this is my last visit!
This visit, tonkatsu was disgusting. The meat was clearly not defrosted properly and was rubbery in a cardboard-esque way. Because the meat was soggy, the tonkatsu batter also became soggy and fell off with each piece. I genuinely struggled to finish it, which is sad because I used to enjoy ordering it.
The price has also been going up; I’ve noticed this incrementally over my past few visits. The corn tempura is now 13++ when it used to be ~8++ just 18 months ago. And the tonkatsu plus rice set is now 50+!!!
When the price is up and food tastes mid, it’s no longer justified. Sad! Service & ambience remains decent, but I would recommend choosing somewhere else.

can for dinner and left upset and frustrated. textures and flavors were excellent, so I ate slowly, savoring each mouthful and the dish ended up cold. portions were too big, it was an absolute struggle to finish even though I didn’t have lunch. we ordered the miso cod, pork spare ribs and tempura soba.

A refined spot for authentic Japanese cuisine, located just outside Takashimaya beside the taxi stand - away from the bustle of the main shopping area. The handmade soba is excellent: light, springy & served with a clean, umami-rich dipping sauce. Dishes are well-prepared & beautifully plated. The ambience is calm & minimalist. Service is attentive. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality & attention to detail make it a worthwhile splurge.

The place was packed and noisy during our visit. The bright ambience and spartan decor and environs hardly resembled a cosy Japanese restaurant, more like a typical HK dim-sum eatery. Perhaps, it was the afternoon peak-hours then.
Food, though somewhat comparatively pricey, was satisfactory; in particular, the deep-fried oyster and pan-fried fish dishes.
Staff were highly attentive and responsive to guests' needs. They truly made the difference to our dining experience.

This Japanese restaurant is in a fantastic location, making it a convenient and appealing spot for a nice meal.
The sushi is fresh and well-prepared, and the overall food quality is quite good. While prices are on the higher side, the experience and flavors make it a solid option if you’re looking to treat yourself.
A great choice for sushi lovers!

Suju is no doubt the best Japanese restaurant (cooked food) in Singapore at this tier. Have been a patron for the past 7 years at their Mandarin Gallery outlet. No one time have they ever failed me in the consistency of the taste! I must say this one in Takashimaya is even more impressive! A great thank you to Chef Kar Seng and the rest of the wonderful team 👍👍👍
