Charcoal Grill & Salad Bar Keisuke

I’ve been here several times and generally quite satisfied, which is why this recent visit felt a bit disappointing. The grilled chicken usually done well - juicy and tender, but this time was dry and rubbery. I’m hoping it was just a one-off, as it hasn’t been my experience before. That said, the free-flow salad bar continues to be the highlight for me. There’s a great variety of fresh ingredients, and everything tastes lovely and well-prepared. It really adds value to the dining experience and keeps me coming back. One more thing — the seats badly need to be replaced. They’re worn out, torn, and quite uncomfortable for diners Overall, it’s still a decent spot for Japanese grill & salad bar, but I do hope they can improve on consistency and refresh the seating soon.

Service wasn't the best. Man was a bit rigid in letting us go in and sit first. Atmosphere was squeezy. Food I had mixed opinions about. The salad bar was refillable but wasn't super good, the Romain lettuce was subpar. Seaweed was not too bad. The black cod set was really good, not outstanding but really good. Black cod was cooked well and all the way through, and the fish was fresh. Salmon belly on the other hand was kind of disappointing, and I felt it was a bit of a letdown. The sashimi belly through cooked properly, it was very salty so ended up tasted super average though quality was okay. Miso soup was nice. Rice was fine but a bit hard to eat. The onsen eggs were fresh and cooked to perfection, the light soy sauce compliments it. Also lack of variety on the menu I wish they would actually include more items in the menu as it's limited and there's not much to choose from.

My family and I had a very enjoyable meal here. The highlight for us was definitely the grilled fish – the salmon belly and grilled salmon were cooked to perfection, with a smoky char on the outside and tender, juicy flesh inside. Every bite was rich in flavour yet clean and not greasy, which made it easy to finish right down to the last piece. Another big plus is their free-flow salad and side bar. There’s a generous spread of fresh vegetables, cold sides, pasta, beans, Japanese pickles, even small bites like potato salad and jelly. It was fun to mix and match different toppings and dressings, and everyone at the table had their own unique colourful bowl. The meal set also came with rice served in a traditional wooden pot, soup, and even an onsen egg – small details that made the dining experience feel complete. The ambience is cozy, with the aroma of charcoal grilling filling the air. It does get crowded during peak hours, but the turnover is fast and the food is worth the wait. Overall, this is a place I’d happily return to with family. Between the quality of the fish, the variety at the salad bar, and the warm atmosphere, it’s a satisfying Japanese dining spot at PLQ.

Approximately half the salad buffet items were deliberately left unreplenished when I visited at 4.15pm on a weekend. They were only topped up when more customers started arriving closer to 5pm. See my attached photos for the items that were unavailable at 4.15pm. Something to note since you would be essentially be paying the same price but for fewer items should you choose to visit at an off peak hour to avoid queuing. Other that, great concept and taste was good. There was a service charge of 10% though it was self ordering and payment and no water was served.

The good thing about this resto is the buffet all u can for salad vegies, water melon/oranges, some pasta and the coffee jelly (i like it) and they have a good choices of salad dressings plus olive oil (love olive oil). The main course is good, i suggest pls add more main course (pork and beef). The rice is nice, i used to mix the half boiled egg with the rice. The place is too small and you need to wait also to have a sit, most of the time its always full.

Free flow salad bar for main course ordered. Not sure about enforcement as I noticed some table of 3-4 with only 2 main course ordered. Grilled Saba Fish | 8.0 out of 10.0 Good taste especially for fish lovers. Teriyaki Chicken | 7.5 out of 10.0 Good portion but need to cook longer (maybe) because the meat is thick. Miso Soup | 8.0 out of 10.0 Wee bit diluted but still fragrant and tasty. Salad Bar | 8.5 out of 10.0 Decent variety. Special call out to Coffee Jelly with Milk 9.0 out of 10.0 Unique and tasty. Not much service experience as it was online ordering and very minimal contact with service staff except when they were clearing the table or plates. Around S$100 for 4 main courses.

Overrated and overpriced. Yes they are probably charging more because of the free-flow salad bar but the items on display were not that appetizing. On a weekend evening we saw soggy watermelon cubes, mushy leafy salads and tasteless "mentaiko" pasta. Hygiene was also a concern because the salad bar fridge was completely open with no covers at all. The mains were also kinda meh, like you can pan fry any chunk of Fairprice fish/meat at home and slap on some ready-made teriyaki sauce for a third of the cost. The rice was good though admittedly. I saw some other reviews comparing this place to Nakajima Suisan oh please it doesn't even come close.

food was awesome! the cod fish was so good albeit abit pricey, but the free flow salad bar made it worth it! please do get the dessert coffee jelly ~ love the bitter jelly contrasted against the sweet milk(?) they provide + free onsen egg! abit hot to sit at the bar counter though, probably because of the open fire grill in the kitchen

Value for money set-menu sumiyaki (charcoal-grilled) fish dishes with all-you-can-eat salad bar. The menu is small and the place focuses on a few charcoal grilled fish dishes such as mackerel, cod, salmon and chicken (?!). The execution of the grilling is top notch and the price does not burn a hole in your pocket. Set menu prices range from S$16-29. The fish is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the cod and the mackerel are recommended. Hot steamed rice is provided together with a raw egg that you stir into the rice. There's extensive variety offered at the salad bar, including fruit and some dessert items. When this place opened in April 2019, lines were pretty much out the door. No you are not seeing things; There are THREE Keisuke restaurants located in the same mall. I'm not sure why, but I'm not complaining. There's more food to choose from. :)
