Chawanmushi: This was alright but if you don't like clams, then maybe you won't like this. There were 3 clams inside this little bowl of steamed eggs. Because M can't eat so I had like 6. Lol!Toji Set: It's been so, so long since I had good toji apart from my old favourite at Tonkichi (but I don't go there now because of the price increase). This Katsu Toji (loin, which means the one with more fats) isn't too bad. Salty enough, but a little tad too fatty for my liking. Just to be fair, I don't e

It used to be quite popular with never ending queue. One had to queue for at least 30 minutes for a table during meal times. But with new restaurants popping out around, the queue is no longer around. The Japanese family style restaurant specializes in teishoku (set meals that come with rice and soup). It has an open concept kitchen when one can see the cooks at work, while dining at the main table. There is also booth seats available too.We are served hot green tea which is refillable.As both o

I love to eat at this restaurant. They sell reasonably priced delicious Japanese food. There are many variety to choose from. I ordered the chicken cutlet set. The chicken cutlet is fried till crispy but not too dry. Some places fried till very dry and tough. Cones with salad. They use traditional Japanese vegetables for the salad, some restaurant replace with local vegetables. Hence the salad is good with assembly dressing. I live the purple grain rice. Very delicious authentic Japanese rice al

Done in comfortable and earthly hues of brown and white, embracing rich Japanese interior designs, this clean-cut restaurant was a soothing, relaxing atmosphere for lovers of Japanese food lovers - gatherings for friends, family meals etc, all suitable.While awaiting main courses, we were served tiny dishes of starters - Kimchi (a traditional Korean fermented vegetables made with a variety of seasonings, tasting spicy and sour at the same time) and black beans with seaweed. Both were sumptuous

Recommendation by colleague to try out this Japanese restaurant due to their wide range of dishes , set meals etc. The restaurant is well deco and welcome by the staff once entering the place , the seat is cosy and the place is spacious. We ordered 2 set of Buta Shio Koji jyu @S$23.50 for set meal. The grilled pork loin marinated with shio koji sauce and served with potatoes and vegetables. The pork loin is tender and the meat is juicy as well. The chawanmushi that came with the set , the textu

I chanced upon Ootoya, because in comparison with the other Japanese restaurants at Orchard Central, it seemed to be more fairly priced for normal income people like me.The food menu comes with lotza pretty photographs that you are simply spolit for choices, dunno what to choose! And ya for big eater, they also give free top-up of rice... Really cool!Our orders:Side dish including mushrooms, prawns and lotus rootGrilled fishCharcoal Grilled Pork

This place has quite a homely ambience which I like. The ambience was matched with the presentation of the food, which just makes one feel rather warm. However, prices are not really cheap though.I ordered the ebi seiro set, which comprised of steamed rice with tiny shrimps, some grated pumpkin, pickles, miso soup and some cabbage soup. The tiny shrimps were mildly flavored but still a joy to eat with the warm rice. The miso soup is one of the nicest I ever had, it was packed with some tofu and

This was my first time coming to ootoya for dinner. Really love the ambience here, very suitable for couples to dine in together. We ordered pork cutlet with egg set and cold soba. Both were really good. The pork cutlet isn't too hard and the gravy is really nice. The cold soba is one of the best i ever had in singapore! It has this very soft texture and very chewy. Can't really describe it but it is just different from those i had in other japanese restaurant. Its a must try Also, the service

I had heard good things about Ootoya, and after checking a few blogs to be sure of its quality, I decided to visit it. I went on a Thursday night and I was rather worried that it would be full, but thank goodness, it wasn't too crowded. The set up consists of a 'bar area' where customers could sit in a large square on the floor - a little open concept I guess - and a normal booth area. I was directed to the booth area, where I settled myself.Ootoya had a set menu concept, where all its items wer

When someone mention Japanese restaurant to you, I’m pretty sure the first thing that comes into your mind will be sushi, sashimi and yakitori. However, at Ootoya Japanese restaurant, they serve up healthy, authentic, and value for money home-cook style Japanese food.I ordered the Ootoya Special Dish Set ($15.00, 990kcal) as it’s said to be one of their signature dishes. It’s served with the combination of homemade croquette and deep-fried chicken with a sunny side up. This is an Ootoya’s sta

This is one damn awesome dish! I think it's called the Buta Shiokojijyu which basically is BBQ pork with some special sauce (There always seem to be some special sauce in Japanese cuisine). The pork is the winning element of this dish. Tender, juicy and succulent, salty and oh so good! The delicious flavour rolls around on your tongue, and you pair it with the rice. Drooling just writing this. There is a scoop of mash potato and some vegetables with this dish but I would happily trade them all i

I had dinner at the Orchard Central branch of Ootoyo and we were very lucky to get a table given that it was quite crowded that day (perhaps we had gone too late at around 8). I ordered the chargrilled chicken set that comes with a decent portion of tenderly grilled chicken, with a hard boiled egg, salad on the side, chawanmushi, and the standard rice +miso rice. This has always been my favourite value-for-money set that I've been consistently trying. The chicken is really nicely marinated and t

I tried this restaurant two outlets, this and clementi mall's. But here I will just review about Orchard Central outlet. Do not observe the differences of the two outlets to comment much on that but both are as good Japanese food is one of my favourite genre of food. At this restaurant, their menu has quite a few types of different dishes and sets. I cannot remember the names of the sets I tried, but photos I upload will speak a thousands words. and they are delicious.
