Rakuzen

Very simple Japanese cuisine available from this restaurant. It’s your typical kind of Japanese restaurant which serves moderately tasty Japanese food! I wouldn’t say that it is fantastic… it sure isn’t outstanding either. But if you’re looking for simple and authentic Jap food, this is the place to go! Portions are a little too delicate and dainty for my liking (but that’s probably the nature of Jap cuisine). Their grilled fish is nice, sashimi is fresh too, recommended. Beware that it’s harder to get a seat during lunch time as it’s often packed with a couple of customers waiting for their table, might have to wait for 10 mins or so unless you’re lucky!

Good solid, authentic japanese food. Slightly expensive pricing aside (hey the food around this place have the same price range anyway) the food served here does have its #throwback to
Japan moments.
The sashimi and dragonroll we ordered were as good as you can get in singapore, although i must admit, i have had better at around the same price and even slightly lower.
What surprised me was my main dish: beef hamburger patties served with vegetables and rice. Aside from the large serving of fresh vegetables (people who’ve been to japan and ate western food there, i think you might get what i mean), the hamburger patties were exquisitely tender and moist! It did not have the over powering meatiness and slight toughness you would expect from eating a meat patty or dryness. The patty was very light and moist, an indicator that a good amount of fat used and care taken to ensure the juices remained in the patty! Aside from that, well like most japanese restaurants, the smaller serving size serves as part of the charm of japanese dishes doesnt it!

decent japanese food at this place I’ve seen frequently touted as good-​value and decent quality, both compliments I agree with. I did imagine, however, that the place was a rather more high-​end establishment (perhaps on the same level as sushi kuu) — but it’s more akin to a (slightly more) refined sushi tei.
the comparison with that latter establishment is further promulgated when you realise just how similar (almost suspiciously so, as I whipped out the phone to check if they belonged to the same group — no evidence to this though) the menus are in terms of font and choice.
there’s a good selection of bento sets that make for good value, as well as a decent a la carte section for greater variety. the mains range from sushi to suitability (lots of springy noodles and tender beef in a suitably sweet broth), with sides of anything from sashimi to teriyaki chicken — and what we got was pretty tasty, and serviceable enough for a post-​work dinner or hanging with friends.
I’ve said this about many restaurants in this range — it’s not fine dining, but it really has no need to be. there’s a measure of applause to be had for an establishment that manages to serve you good, decent food without it costing an arm and a leg — and in the case of this place, the restaurant is done up rather nicely in a glassed, rather refined environment that belies the low-​low prices (relatively, for the area) inside.
good food, and a nice sit-​down in the area (and especially good for being close to dessert (i.e. patisserie g)).

The service here is frankly awesome. Dragon roll is humongous and then some, while the hand rolls are of a pretty good standard. Décor is all understated clean lines, and there are small blinds/​curtain thingies that can be lowered to create a semblance of privacy. Staff are discrete, very prompt and helpful. There aren’t many places that I’d readily shell out a pile of clams for, but this is one of those.

To many, when I mentioned to them Rakuzen, they fondly remembers this restaurant tucked away at a corner of millennia walk for its value for money set meals.
To me, Rakuzen is a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered. I love to go there and be surprised with their sashimi specials. Unlike many of the local japanese joint, you can get a variety of interest seafood that you hardly see or hear about. My all time favorite would be the seasonal Promfet Sashimi and Uni.

This is my go to place for really good Jap food. Usually you can tell how good a japanese place is by the number of Japanese in the establishment. This place more then satisfies this criteria.
Much of the sashimi is seasonal, so always ask for what is available. They bring in interesting things which are quite unheard of in other places, such as pomfret, or sea bass. What i really enjoy is the lobster sashimi which is served in its own shell. After you are done the waiter will take the sell and the chef will use it to make a really rich lobster infused miso soup.
another thing that i always order is the Aburri Beef Roll– Rice, Avocado, crunchy bits (i think its salmon skin), rolled up like a maki, wrapped up in thinly sliced raw beef. Slice, Blowtorch and served. The blowtorch is a gimmick which acually works, It imparts a smokey flavor because some of the rice actually gets burnt.
