Wasabi Tei

A tiny little Japanese restaurant that is located just in front of the lift at the 5th floor. There is only about 15 counter seats available. So everyone could have a good view of the chef making sushi in front of you while eating. Only cash payment is accepted here. There is no GST or service charge.Looking around at what everyone was having, I decided to go with the crowd and had one of the lunch set.Lunch Donburi Set C : Kaisen Chirashi Set ($18)It was served with Japanese green tea, miso sou

Had their nigiri sushi with udon that comes in a set. The udon was served piping hot. Soup base was light-tasting and filled with seaweed. Udon was chewy and had just the right texture. The nigiri sushi was the highlight of this set. Sashimi was very fresh and sushi were made on the spot so there was a bit of waiting time. Tamago was sweet and soft. The portion of rice and sashimi was proportionate. What was really unforgettable was their swordfish sushi. The swordfish had a buttery flavour to i

Chirashi set $30- because the queue at the sushi bar was too long, I decided to try this out. The sashimi slices were thick, fresh and succulent - comparable with the sushi bar's version. This set came with green tea and a seaweed(?) side dish which had a homely taste to it. It was a very filling and satisfying meal. I also like that all the seats are counter seats so diners can see up close on how their sashimi is being prepared. Only downside is that the place is really small and squeeze,

It was the kind of rainy night that my friend and I were unable to decide what to eat. We were wondering around for a really long time at Far East Plaza till the point we were starving and my friend decided to just try this place. We got the Assorted Sushi Set which was beautifully plated and served. I can't remember the price of this but most of the sets are from $15-20. So this may be pricey for its portion but the fish were sooooo fresh! We also got the Salmon Set. The salmon was so freshly g

Headed to Wasabi Tei for lunch with my colleagues. It was supposed to open at 1230pm but we waited a long time outside. The chef was taking his time to prepare the food. The good thing was the waitress took our orders in advance.Around 1245pm, it opened and we were ushered in to the counter seats. my chicken order arrived early. it was crispy and filling. and it came with rice and cabbage salad. there was also a seafood appetiser plus drink included. It was a good combination.i was surprised tha

In this quaint authentic looking Japanese restaurant (super small and only counter seats), I had a nice albeit sightly pricey lunch. I ordered a safe choice - the Chicken Oyako don. Basically it is chicken cooked with egg and onions over rice. They gave a couple slices of pickles and topped with slices of seaweed. The meal comes with miso soup and some veggies with a beancurd like skin. Very tasty meal, not too salty and overall feels quite healthy. Recommended!

So the last time I was here, I had the Chicken Don and Salmon Belly Sashimi. This time round, I stuck to my 'safe choice' of Salmon Don as it's pretty much the only thing I know how to appreciate when it comes to Jap cuisine. And yes, once again, I was not left disappointed.I ordered the Salmon Ikura Don - ikura refers to the roe, which is something I'm not crazy about it but ultimately didn't really mind it either. I think this was about $10 or $12, can't remember. Of course, at Wasabi Tei, the

Had a nice lunch at Wasabi Tei with my friend. I ordered the Chirashi which is a mixture of raw seafood over rice. The dish is very nice as the seafood is fresh and there is a good variety of seafood - salmon, tuna, scallop, prawns, salmon belly, roe and I can't tell what is the white color fish. Be patient when you eat here because they take time to prepare your meal but it is worth the wait.

So I heard about this hidden gem somewhere in Far East Plaza. I was really puzzled when my friend told me it's hidden in the 5th floor and I thought to myself - isn't that floor full of hair salon and massage parlor? Why would there be a authentic Japanese restaurant opening among the smell of hair spray? Of cos I was wrong. It will not be easy to simply just walk past Wasabi Tei - their bright green signboard is difficult to not be notice. I walked in to find myself going in to a cramped 16-sea

Wasabi Tei is this quaint tiny Japanese restaurant at Far East Plaza. The place is small and only has counter seats yet it is usually full house during lunch and dinner. It feels like a real authentic Japanese eatery. I ordered the sushi cone (I don't remember the name) which has Salmon, California (Avacado) and tuna. The fish was so fresh! Thick slices (not stingy at all) and you can taste the quality. Good eats!

I'm not a big fan of Japanese food, but my colleagues were keen on having Jap for lunch this particular weekday so we headed to this quiet dining joint at Far East Plaza. When I stepped in I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It looks like one of those eateries you can find along the streets of Japan (vague memories from the time I visited the country when I was only 5) - definitely different compared to modern places like Sushi Tei.The concept's like a sushi bar so you sit on high chairs

I am serious when i say that. How many people in Singapore will bother to make a chawanmushi properly? Most dont. Most chawanmushi is steamed egg and nothing in it. And some are dry. This chawanmushi is not cheap, but its all worth it. There is soup in it, strips of konnyaku jelly, crabstick, enoki and golden mushrooms, chicken and boiled shrimp. All these in a small little cup. The steam egg taste different too, recomended to the friends but nobody wants to buy it as it is expensive. But after

Wasabi Tei is a little Japanese eatery situated at 5th floor of Far East Plaza. There are only about 20 seats around a counter, in which the staffs will serve you from inside the counter.Food-wise, I order a Saba fish set at $12 for lunch and a drink which is compulsory at $2 per seating.The Saba fish was really delicious! Grilled to perfection with crispy skin and juicy tender meat. Saltiness is just nice as well, I was really impressed! The set comes with a bowl of rice, miso soup and 2 slices

This is a forgotten place tucked away in a corner of Far East Plaza, that serves really decent Japanese fare.The cafe is really small yet cosy, with a food preparation station in the middle. There are less than 20 counter seats around the middle station, and that's pretty much about it. You don't get to choose your seats, because the staff will assign them to you according to the number of pax and availability. So if you're assigned seats at the far end of the station, you basically have to stic

The shop is tiny, there are limited seats available in the shop and there is always a queue trailing from the entrance, clogging up the corridor of Far East plaza, but all these factors pale in contrast when one tastes the quality of food served in the shop.I had been to Japan and tried the sashimi there before, and after that trip I had always lamented about the quality disparity between that of the local Japanese cuisine and those found in Japan itself. Hence, before I visited the restaurant,
