I picked this spot to catch up with an old friend—partly because they just got their first Michelin star, and I was curious to see what the buzz was about.
The restaurant is located on the ground floor of a separate building next to the Novotel on Stevens Road.
To be honest, the location isn’t ideal.
You might be able to get there by MRT or bus, but there aren’t any obvious landmarks around, so we just took a taxi.
The entrance is very plain and doesn’t give much away. But once you step inside, it shifts into a calm, well-crafted Japanese space.
The restaurant is compact, with counter seating wrapped around an open kitchen.
It was fully booked when we went.
Two Japanese chefs worked with their assistants to serve each course with great pacing—no long gaps, no awkward waits. The staff were observant and well-timed with drinks and dishes.
They were friendly, but didn’t overstep or chit-chat unnecessarily.
I liked the balance. The space is brightly lit, which personally I really appreciated.
The food was beautifully presented, using seasonal ingredients flown in from Japan. The variety of cooking methods and plating made the whole experience visually fun and well-thought-out.
That said, not every flavour worked for me—but that’s more personal taste than anything else.
One small note: there are two entrances, and if you walk in through the middle one, you basically arrive right in front of the counter where people are already seated and eating. It’s not a huge issue, just something that caught my attention.
All in all, it was a calm, well-executed experience with thoughtful dishes and smooth service. I’m glad I chose it for a quiet reunion.
