What to Order
Omakase Nigiri
This multi-course tasting menu features a rotating selection of fresh, seasonal fish, often including unique varieties sourced from around the world.
"The nigiri is very well curated and the fish choices are never exactly the same each time I drop by. The way they prepare their rice for the nigiri is superb and beats a lot of other more expensive places. Their rice has just the right temperature and flavour that pairs well with the fish on top."

Scallop Nigiri with Wasabi and Truffle Oil
A standout nigiri piece featuring sweet scallop, balanced with a hint of wasabi and an aromatic touch of truffle oil.
"My favourite piece was the scallop with wasabi and truffle oil, a combination I didn’t know would work so well."
Lucille Liang
Ube Ice Cream
A delightful and unique dessert that concludes the omakase experience, offering a sweet and creamy finish.
"very complete Omakase and ended the meal with delicious ube ice cream!! Wish I brought a small container to bring some home (hint)."

Inside Scoop
- Always opt for counter seating for the full omakase experience and direct interaction with the chef.
- Book well in advance, as last-minute spots are hard to come by, especially for counter seating.
- The chef is known for unique seasoning and cooking techniques, including the confident use of oils and other garnishes.
- Be aware that the restaurant's "homemade soy sauce" is a dashi-based concoction, not traditional soy sauce.
- The restaurant can get chilly, especially at table seating, so dress warmly.
