Yomenya Goemon

I’ve eaten lunch here three times. I will also note that if the review was solely based on the food, I would probably have given them a four star rating (rated as a lunch place).
However, the service here is very spotty. This was not a one off thing. In each of my experiences at Yomenya Goemon, the staff simply would not come to the table. They would not even react to waves. On one occasion, my colleague and I waited twenty minutes to place our order. There were people seated after us who ordered and received their food before we ordered. We tried everything to get the attention of a server but to no avail.
I considered removing two stars but decided the food and ambiance were good enough to salvage the third star.
They do a brisk business. Sometimes, there is a wait for a table.
The ambiance is pretty typical. It is mostly functional. There are a few touches here and there to communicate that it a Japanese restaurant.
I prefer their pizzas to their pasta.
Four Mushroom Pizza — This was my favorite. The mushrooms had such natural flavors and I could really taste the different mushrooms. I like the crust of their pizzas. It is not a super thin crust nor is it a thick crust. For me, I think they have it just right. Plus, I really enjoy the bready flavor of the crust. This is true for all of their pizzas.
Pizza Margherita — Oddly enough, this was the most authentic pizza margherita I’ve eaten in Singapore. This is one of my favorite styles of pizza. They pretty much get it right. The ingredients are fresh and cooked properly. It all comes together well.
Spaghetti with Sausage — This is a rather pedestrian pasta dish. The pasta itself was slightly overcooked. It was certainly not al dente. The sausages were relatively mild. They could have used more of a kick. I did really enjoy the mushrooms they used in this dish. It was filling. For lunch, it did the trick. But, if I go back, I will return to their pizzas.
This was a set lunch ($ 18.50) that included soup, salad, and a drink. The soup was basic. For the salad, they have a small salad bar.

Overall, if you can manage the disappearing staff, the food makes for an enjoyable and filling lunch. This is not a cost-​saver lunch though.
