I made a reservation for omakase (chef's selection - we sit at the counter and the chef delivers dishes made on the spot to us till we popped) about 3 weeks ago - that's the most organised I've been, and was lucky I made the reservation early because there were bus loads of people in the little place even though it is a Wednesday night.
So does it live up to the reviews? Let's take a look at the food we had tonight:
The first dish - snapper with lemon juice and salt. Nice tang to the tongue because of the lemon and salt. 
Seared salmon seasoned with Japanese spices which had a little chilli, citrus and pepper. The salmon melted in our mouths... very yummy. 
Another view of the salmon showing the two tones of the salmon - seared on top and raw at the bottom. 
Mackerel with white seaweed sheet and sesame seeds. Very pretty. The seaweed sheet was very tasty. 
Grilled wagyu beef - Beef was tender, sweet. We chatted with another guest as we were eating and he said that this dish is his favourite. It's not far from being ours too. 
This was only so-so. Ark shell sushi. It was crunchy and didn't have much flavour. 
Toro or tuna... this was my fave dish. Melted in my mouth, so delicious!
Tuna tartare with quail's egg on top, and the other one is okra tempura. I couldn't eat the quail's egg - I don't like raw eggs so Gaz slurped it away for me. We thought these two were so-so. The okra tempura was crisp, but I didn't like the bitter taste to it. 
Kingfish. Doesn't it look nice? It's like a fish in itself! 
One of the best dishes - lightly grilled oyster topped with mayo. Hmm... very nice and creamy. 
Couldn't go past my unagi. It was on my request. Seared on both sides. It was only so-so, quite chewy. Which goes to show... leave it to the chef! 
Complimentary dessert - crushed ice with syrup and fruitThe food was good, but I think we'll let the credit card rest for a bit now...
Update: This restaurant is permanently closed as at March 2025
