Front view from ground floor of the entrance to the restaurant. No lift for wheelchair bounded people so only suitable for those who can walk up the stairs.As we walked into the restaurant, we felt this is one high class type of Japanese dining as it feel so authentic with very comfortable lighting that shine onto the wooden tables, chairs and wooden floor. The whole concept is great for having a relaxing meal over here but pricing will sure be on the high side. (This is what we called value for

As we walked into the restaurant, we felt this is one high class type of Japanese dining as it feel so authentic with very comfortable lighting that shine onto the wooden tables, chairs and wooden floor. The whole concept is great for having a relaxing meal over here but pricing will sure be on the high side. (This is what we called value for the $$)The staff who attended to us since we entered the restaurant is very friendly and attentive though they do not allow me to change to a more spacious table when requested but instead, they are able to counter offer us by saying they will not serve the dishes very fast to suit our table space. For that, I felt quite happy with their service as they knows how to reject customer request in a nice way.
Sashimi (5 Kinds) @ $42 (2 slices each) / $63 (3 slices each). Sashimi includes Tuna Belly (Otoro), Salmon, Sweet shrimp, yellow tail and scallop. The quality of the sashimi is great. Sashimi are cut at the same size and placed nicely on top of crashed ice. Most importantly, they taste very fresh.
These are one of the special sushi roll listed in the menu and I wanna try it since I never seen anything like these before. The ingredients consist of Spicy seasoned cod roe, sweet omelette (Egg), cucumber and salmon wrapped with Japanese preserved mustard leaf. There is some green taste but it was nice overall taste with sweet omelette and crunchy cucumber on it. Need to eat the whole of the sushi to enjoy the different ingredient being exploded inside your mouth.
Even though the salmon sashimi is quite thin, they actually added some sesame (plus sesame sauce) on it making the sashimi very nice smelling and taste nice. The half boiled egg are mixed with their special soya sauce which you can dip the salmon sashimi onto it before putting it into your mouth. The taste, sweet and refreshing taste where I had never really tasted before. I would highly recommend this dish if you eat over at this restaurant. (Do try out the Hamachi aka yellow tail version too @ $17.80)
To me, this is a nice dish with juicy beacon mixed together with a special Caesar sauce but not really good for those who are health conscious due to the salty and fatty meat of the beacon.
This is one nice but expensive dish. Popular foie gras (aka goose liver) are being marinated with teriyaki sauce before preparing and served it onto a crispy thin slice of bread. Need to eat it all in with one mouth full to enjoy the full delicious taste of this dish.
Shiokoji marinated meat platter includes Berkshire pork belly, tender chicken and salmon. I think the meat are a bit hard to bite on and would not really order this dish again as I think there are better ones in the menu to choose from.
Lightly grilled Golden eye snapper fillet slices with spicy seasoned cod roe served with green tea bonito soup. To me, it is more like a Japanese version of the Hakka Lei Cha as you need to pour the tea based soup over the rice before eating it as a whole. Taste is sweeter than normal Hakka Lei Cha but still not to my liking as I do not really like to eat Hakka Lei Cha too. Good for anyone who wish to eat healthy though.
