That sounds awful! I’m a little turned off now. The Ichiban Sushi outlet at PS is quite popular though. I always see long lines there during dinner hours. View all comments by Veron

You guys should try waraku at east coast park. it’s a bit pricey but you get what you give. The best japanese food are served at cuppage plaze. but some of the japanese restaurant are very cocky they on;y serve japanese people but you can bypass if you can speak japanese. but their japanese is really what they have in japan. ohishi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi veron, since we are discussing about Japanese food, just wonder have you tried Kuishin-bo before (located at suntec beside the sky garden)? Personally i think the food there is rather nice though the queue is always long. View all comments by Wel

A bit off-topic but still on the subject of Japanese Food. I went to Shin Tokyo, sister branch of Ramen Ten, at Parkway Parade. Ordered Grilled Salmon Tempura Premium Bento. OH MY GOODNES!!! The salmon was pathetic! so small and skimpy and slim. Urgh! Argh! after 1 and half week I’m still pissed! View all comments by Mins

Haha maybe! But I’m simply not that interested in Sushi Tei personally. The impression it gives me is that of a really boring place. View all comments by Veron

hmm… this is interesting. I have been an avid fan of sakae sushi but i must admit the standard has drop compared to the first time i went there. And yup the sashimi is not really that fresh.

I heard sushi tei is good. But i haven’t been there like years too. So Veron do us the honour of reviewing the restaurant and do a comparison on the 3 japanese restaurants. U’re the foodie expert and we love ur reviews. Don’t we? ;> View all comments by passer-by

Hmm, that’s strange…Sushi Tei is considered better in quality than Ichiban Boshi and it definitely charges more compared to the latter. But I must admit you are paying for the quality as the sashimi is definitely fresher there. But I have no complaints against Ichiban since its value for money. View all comments by Joyz

Come to think of it, I have been to Sushi Tei just once in my entire life, and that’s at least six years ago!

One of these days I should go check it out again :) View all comments by Veron

I can’t wait to go back to S’pore and try this branch. What about Sushi Tei then ? (I’m not sure I got the name right :-P) View all comments by Mai

Cool, something new for me to try. This actually sounds like a dangerous place to work at… health-wise :P View all comments by Kevin

yup i agree. i’m a convert to the ichiban family. you should really try the abalone salad sushi ($1.90). chewy bite-sized abalone. it’s SO good!

of course, there are some “better” outlets in the ichiban family. for me, i prefer the esplanade and wisma outlet. View all comments by :]

I didn’t realise there were so many Ichiban fans! I went to Ichiban Boshi a number of times before to have the don. But it’s my first time having their sushi.

And absolutjoiz, I am now drooling too from reading your vivid description of the peanut waffles! View all comments by Veron

I’ve converted to ichiban from sakae (I patronise the ichiban boshi too). I think sakae’s standard has dropped significantly, and sashimi is not as fresh as those of ichiban’s. And yeah, I agree that ichiban has more appealing food.

Peanut waffles…I like those in Prima Deli! Somehow the branch at hdb hub does them so much better - crispy on the outside with fragrance at each bite. *drooling* View all comments by absolutjoiz

Hi Veron, Ichiban Boshi really beats Sakae hands down. For one, the latter is not exactly the freshest and somehow, the food quality just got worse as time goes by. Like XXOOS, I never looked back after trying Ichiban Boshi. Their prices are almost similar to Sakae but you can taste the difference. Go for their Ichiban Boshi set which is like $21+ but it has EVERYTHING! There’s ebi tempura, fresh salmon sashimi, chawamushi, rice, miso soup and a main dish (can’t exactly remember what). Its the best! View all comments by Joyz

i haven’t tried any of the ichiban sushi outlets yet, but i frequent the sister outlet ichiban boshi, i think that the quality of food is far superior to sakae. i stopped visiting sakae after trying ichiban just once. the sushi from ichiban is really far more creative, tastier, and uses fresher raw fish. i haven’t tried the dishes (only the sushi, and i really like the kani mayo, i think the kani from ichiban is nicer than the normal crabstick in other sushi chains) you have there, but i’ve eaten most of the dishes from the main menu and i really liked them. esp the cereal chicken. hehe~ View all comments by xxoos
