Wadori has been opened in Jurong Point for some time now. It is located in the Japanese street along with other Japanese restaurants. Honestly, lined up together with the rest of the restaurants, Wadori definitely is not the most appealing (Therefore, is one of the last Japanese restaurants that I tried in the). It has a small space and looks similar to coffee houses like Old Town. Also, its located right next to the car park, so expect many people to be passing by while you're dining. I bought
Wadori has been opened in Jurong Point for some time now. It is located in the Japanese street along with other Japanese restaurants. Honestly, lined up together with the rest of the restaurants, Wadori definitely is not the most appealing (Therefore, is one of the last Japanese restaurants that I tried in the). It has a small space and looks similar to coffee houses like Old Town. Also, its located right next to the car park, so expect many people to be passing by while you're dining. I bought the "Wadori Set C" which consists of Yakitori (chicken), black pepper Yakitori (chicken), tsukune (chicken ball), pork belly and rice . Its the cheapest set meal they offer at a price of $5.50. I was served pretty fast with excellent service. However, the food wasn't exactly hot. Neither was it cold. Just, regular warm temperature.
The rice are those long Japanese rice grains. Its very moist, which also explains the high price for just a bowl of rice in the restaurant. Personally, I was unable to determine which chicken was the black peppered chicken and which was the plain. They looked similar and I could hardly taste the black pepper because they had put way too much sauce on the chicken and rice. All the chicken were tender and moist (not juicy). Although they look a lot like satay, they have a unique chicken smell that make them different from regular satay. The pork belly was dryer and tougher as compared to the chicken but I guess that's the essence of pork belly so it was tasty.
Overall, I really liked the set and would try it again. I like how they topped off the whole dish with seaweed, which, by the way, although were in small pieces, gave a sufficient amount of flavouring to the rice. However, the sticks they used to served the chicken are all stained with the sauce which makes it hard to dine neatly. Additionally, it is hard to use wooden chopsticks and plastic spoons while eating from a cardboard box.
Apart from the difficulties that one may face while dining, the set was just perfect and has an absolutely reasonable price. By the way, price is inclusive of GST and there is no service charge! (Well, b/c it is self-service)
