This is a newly opened Japanese restaurant that has replaced Fairwood, the front of the restaurant doesn’t reveal much.
The restaurant name which I actually thought was a picture was actually a Chinese character, hence it took me a while to find it on OpenRice, but the one listed was its main branch in Heng Fa Chuen, and the English was almost camouflaged within the logo.
There was only one large poster displaying the signature dishes and on the left was a corner selling Hokkaido ice cream with toppings for $23.
It was always packed with people since it opened a few weeks ago, so went there earlier to try it out.
The red wine sushi featured in the poster reminds me of the sushi at the closed down 1212+ at Langham place.
When we were taken to the seating, the restaurant was bigger than it looked, there was more seating behind the Chef’s bar round the corner.
The seating was fairly acceptable with round tables in the front of the restaurant.
The restaurant design was quite nice, wavy tiled mirrors and ceilings.
The choice of food was rather limited, ranging from curries, fried cutlets and noodles, the only items that I thought was interesting was the red wine sushi and hokkaido ice-cream.
The chopstick holder was quite cute, it held the chopsticks together, and when you take the chopsticks out of it, it can be used to rest the chopsticks on them.
The price of the food was slightly overpriced, around $55-$70 a la carte, and costs more if you order the meal.
Ordered salmon red wine sushi, beef in wine sauce with rice, and soba with prawn tempura.
Salmon red wine sushi:
Not as good as the one at 1212+ but it tasted ok, the red wine taste was rather faint.
Beef in wine sauce:
The wine was rather bland, and the rice was a little too hard
Steamed egg and soup:
Both these came with the set, the steamed egg was ok, and the soup had a strong taste of clams, in which there were about 4 clams in it.
Soba with tempura:
The noodles were slightly too cold, but the tempura was light, not too greasy.
The seaweed shreds were amazingly thin in width, about 3mm, thinner than the noodles.
Overall, the food was ok, but slightly overpriced, I think the ice-cream may be better.
For kids, the kids meal is quite cool, they serve the kids meal in a car.
