We love Japanese food. So when a neighbor (whose wife is Japanese) recommended this restaurant, we lost no time in checking it out.
It was a lot more casual and inexpensive than we expected (there was a guest in berms). Sets start from just $18.50, with the 7-course omakase at $88.
We chose the omakase, with me having wagyu beef and him silver cod for the robatayaki course. Portions were small per course but the full set was just right. And the fish was very fresh!
But I think what really impressed us was the friendly and warm service. Donny the manager was super attentive. When the sushi came and I remarked that I do not eat eel because of a prior bad experience with unagi (had to go to A&E with a soft bone lodged in my throat!), he immediately offered to replace the anago with another slice from the tail portion that's definitely boneless.
My only regret is that I didn't get to order from their extensive sake list as I was still on flu meds :-( Actually, it was a friendly waitress who noticed I was sniffling and gently persuaded me not to order the sake! This putting-the-customer-first kind of service is really quite rare in a world of financial KPIs.
We'll definitely be back for the sake and more!

Cut by Wolfgang Puck, Marina Bay Sands
100% Japanese wagyu rib eye from the Shiga prefecture. And I'm told it has a beef marble index of A5.
Melt-in-your-mouth texture. Superb marbling. But almost too rich, both in taste and price. Should have just ordered the 170g filet and saved on both calories and cash.
And hopefully my own BMI doesn't increase after this!
