Cuppage Authentic and Satisfactory Japanese Food

 Nijumaru Bento ($21) - Although this is abit expensive, but consider the quality of the food, i certainly recommended all to try. Saba fish (top left of the tray) is not too dry, crispy on the outside and juicy meat combiination. However, there are bones, so be careful while eating. Tempura is nice and crispy, taste first hand on the freshest tempura. Sashimi include salmon, tuna and yellowtail, no complain over these. Stew pork really look special, the lean meat and fats are proportion and tender when chew. Simply delicious.

 Shogayaki Set ( Pork ) $14 - Marinated pork stir fried with spring onions, served with stew eel meat (Bottom right) and miso soup. Pork meat is tender and wonderfully delicious. There are a mixture of lean meat and fats, the proportion are just right. Stew eel are delicious too although there are bones and you must be careful while eating.

 Ika Fried ($8) - Fresh, sweet and chewy. Although it is fried but you still can taste the squid freshness. Eat with mustard sauce or sweet sauce to experience different taste of the squid.

 Chawamushi ($5.50) - Lots of ingredients, mushroom, prawn, spring onions, ginkgo nut and chicken chunk. The steam egg is really delicious and smooth. Really pipping hot even after leaving it for a few minutes. Certainly yummy

 Food is very fresh, the sashimi that i ate do not have any foul taste or smell. Even the tempura that i had also taste sweet and tender. I have a great impression on the food provided.

Staff's service is quite ok although I heard a lot of complaints about bad service. However, I was asked to leave as there are a small group of people queuing as i have not finished my cup of tea.

 Similar to the Nijumaru Bento, a variety of dishes comes with the Unajyu Set. You get to choose between Tempura or Assorted Sashimi, and of course the big highlight of the Unajyu Set would be 2 big slices of Unagi! Unagi lovers like me will definitely be jumping with joy at the sight of this set! The unagi was made deliciously and nicely glazed with a nice smooth texture. The generous portion of unagi was also a sight to behold. The assorted sashimi that I ordered along with the set was decent and fresh, and in my opinion a better option than ordering tempura.

While the first time I was here, I had the opportunity to just chill in the restaurant after my dinner, this time the waitresses were eager to get me out due to a long waiting list in the queue outside the restaurant, so do take note if you dine here! And if you walk in or make a reservation, do make sure everyone is on time because they won't let you into the restaurant unless everyone is present so that's one more point to note.

Tucked hidden on the 2nd floor of Cuppage Plaza, this restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. The atmosphere isn't exactly that of a high class restaurant, but who needs that 'atas' feeling when you have good food at a very decent price. A pretty popular venue for meals, most likely during meal times the restaurant will be packed and you would probably have to wait a bit to get a seat.This right here is a masterpiece.

 This right here is a masterpiece. For $20, you can order the Nijumaru Bento where you get a bit of everything and it is totally worth it. With rice and miso soup, your dishes include assorted sashimi, tempura, braised pork belly and grilled
saba fish. The sashimi was decent, while the braised pork belly was heavenly and simply melted in my mouth.

One problem with Izakaya Nijumaru is that the menu is entirely in Japanese, but the waiters/waitresses are all extremely helpful and will patiently help you decipher and explain the menu items. The ambience more than made up for it and its a really good place for bringing friends and having a good dinner and chat thereafter.

So I went back to this Japanese restaurant after I tried out their oden. This time round I was feeling really hungry so I ordered their Tonkutsu Curry. When my food arrive, I have a shock. The portion is actually very big and is enough to share among two person. However, as I was very hungry that day, I polished off everything from the plate. The curry is very tasty! One of the very authentic Japanese curry I have tried compared to other places. It comes with a miso soup as well and it tasted ju

One of the very authentic Japanese curry I have tried compared to other places. It comes with a miso soup as well and it tasted just nice too. The tonkutsu is retains it's crisp still even after soaking in the curry. The meat is soft and is really enjoyable. This cost around $12 and I must it's super value.

Chanced upon this restaurant and by seeing mostly native Japanese customers, I thought to myself that it will not go wrong since the Japanese themselves are patronizing this place. As I wasn't feeling hungry then, I opted to order their Oden-oden, something which is like our Chinese version of Yong Tau Foo.

I was surprised with the portion given as I initially thought that there will be just a few pieces of oden inside. The soup is heavenly, definitely the best I had so far after trying out so many places. No MSG, sweetness came from the original ingredients used to boil together with the soup. A very comforty food for me.

The place for cheap & quality Japanese food

Some people might not like the atmosphere in this Izakaya as it is not atas enough for them and the servers are mostly aunties. But honestly, this place reminds me of the Izakaya in Japan. The oden is $8 and the ochazuke is $5, which is considered cheap compared to many places. The soup in the oden is very sweet and it doesnt taste like msg-soup.

The soup in the oden is very sweet and it doesnt taste like msg-soup. And they have many ingredients unlike the other places. Nijumaru is probably the place that charge $5 for their ochazuke. And they are consistent in their food.

However, the tea in the ochazuke is not the thick, its diluted, but the soup portion covers the rice. The salmon bits are small but is a generous serving.

They are not famous / popular with desserts though. Dont think their ice cream is handmade.

At the old run down building of cuppage plaza, it is a haven for Japanese food. There are loads of Japanese restaurants (and shady pubs with girls in tight clothes but ignore those) ranging from expensive to affordable. I was introduced to this place by a friend and do come early because seats are limited and there will be a long queue if you hit the peak dinner time. My friend had a bowl of Oden.

 My friend had a bowl of Oden. The soup is simply packed full of flavour! If you don't feel like having a heavy meal or slightly under the weather, this is the dish for you! Light, not too salty, and warms the belly. Japanese idea of chicken soup

 This is a yakitori dish of bacon wrapped oyster. Super delicious. The yakitori stove is manned by this old stern looking Japanese uncle who carefully flips and grills all the meat, seafood and veg on a hot grill. The bacon is dripping in oil and compliments the oyster very well. Taste is smoky, greasy and has a slight seafood briny flavour from the oyster. A must try. Another dish (which I don't have the photo) which is AWESOME is the yakitori pork belly. Super super sinful but damn good! Even my friend who doesn't like pork belly was converted after eating it. It's like bacon but 100 times the taste and very nice and chewy.

 I had the curry rice with pork katsu. This dish I feel is normal. I had better elsewhere but the curry is good and has a home-cooked feel.. I prefer my katsu thick and juicy compared to this thinner and dryer version. Nonetheless, I left this place satisfied and will definitely be coming back to try more things.

 (1) The Menu

Interestingly enough, the restaurant seemingly caters only for Japanese-speaking customers as their entire menu is in Japanese and there were no pictorials of the dishes. We ended up asking the lady who served us what each dish meant and it took us quite some time to actually order our food.

 (2) The Food

I decided to go for the safe choice - Beef Teriyaki set ($19) which came with rice, a cold dish (long beans), miso soup, pickles, salad on the side and an orange. I must say that the beef was really good! It was grilled to tender perfection and drenched in sweet soy sauce with a spoon of sesame mustard on top. The portions were just right too.

We also ordered a grilled Pork Belly + Bacon and Asparagus to share and both of these dishes were equally good! I also tried their Tuna sashimi which was chunky (not like the thin slices you get at other Japanese restaurants) and it was fresh enough to melt in your mouth. Overall, the food here was excellent and the bill came up to only $30 per person.

 (3) The Ambience

The restaurant is sectioned into 3 areas which is a rather weird setup. They have a "main dining area", a separate shop next to it, and the kitchen is opposite the corridor. It's like they decided to lease the shop next door to expand. The aunty that served us spoke in Chinese and she could also converse to the other customers in Japanese. The other staff were also very friendly and attentive to our needs.

Overall, the good food, cosy ambience and good service made for a really satisfying dinner! I would give this restaurant a 8.5 / 10

The seasonal sashimi is always fresh and the grilled saba is not fishy at all. Last of all the tempura has never been oily and they have this onion ring tempura which tastes so very sweet. Believe it or not, out of 10 trips there, 8 trips my order will be this bento.

Then another dish is a must try is the Butter Squid @$8. It's lightly grilled and drizzled with butter and it's so yummy. They served daily in house dishes on specials only on week nights which is nice and their set lunches cost @$10 nett(cash prefer if credit below $20). But must make reservations or go and queue up early because is very popular with the office crowd.

This restaurant seems to be always packed with both locals and Japanese so please remember to make a reservation before heading down. I tried the unagi bento which had a large slab of grilled eel that's so tender and just melt in the mouth. People who had the signature house bento swear by the fatty braised pork belly!The egg omelette was decent, sweet and soft.For photos/reviews, feel free to drop by www.myfoodsirens.wordpress.com =)
