ditzy SG

For ramen, I won't take either, but if its only between the two, i won't take ajisen. Laughing

WOW some of you really good in tasting food neh!!!!!

i wonder how about the japanese themselves...which one would they like??

choco B SG

They probably go proper Japanese restaurants LOL. If you notice, you seldom see Japanese people eating at chain restaurants like these .

a_splash SG

haha i do notice that's y curious ley....the so called Japanese food we eat really of Japanese taste???

or maybe cos they have been eating Japanese food all their life...when out of Japan they prefer to try something else?? Laughing

ditzy SG

They won't even come to singapore to eat jap food. Laughing During my visit to japan, their culture dictates they keep only the best food for their own country, anything else they export to the world is 2nd best and below.

a_splash SG

no wonder when i was there, we were not brought to really japanese food, most of the time chinese food (cos they only want to keep for themselves?) .... Razz (kidding)

ditzy SG

Only their citizens deserve the best, tourists pls fcuk off. Laughing

i had sushi buffet two days ago at SAKAE. had enough of SAKAE at the moment, ill take Ajisen

neverendingtrauma SG

ajisen ramen's new crayfish ramen the soup is not nice imo.. they put chilicrab sauce on top of the crayfish n the soup tastes wierd. the tontoro ramen soup taste is nicer imo.

suki sushi buffet is better than sakae sushi buffet imo because suki sushi's includes all the $4.90 items not only the $1.80 sushis. meaning theres unlimited oysters and scallops /gratinated, salmon karma, etc.

No reason. Sakae for sure!!! Razz

boredandsleepy SG

i will choose sakae if its only between these 2

Currently in SG i think only Sakae is offering pure jap buffet. ( which means exclude hotels and international buffet outlets.)

Wide variety of jap food and certain outlets have tepanyaki in the restaurant too ( EG parkway Branch )

Its worth the money for the buffet.

as for ajisen.............after reading the previous posts other forum mates have written, i dun think i need to say more.

But my personal fav if i'm on a budget and i still wana eat jap, i'll go to Ichiban-Boshi or Ichiban-Sushi outlets. This outlets are from the fiesta sushi group. Their a-la-carte is not very expensive and their sashimi are fresh and well cut, not too thin not too thick. Price range there for a bento is ard $15-$22.

Another good outlet would be Hisatomo. this is another good place to dine at but the price here is slightly more to the high end cost. Typical jap food nth special but sashimi are fresh too.

If u guys really have good money to spend and wont cry after spending a few hundreds on jap food, i would recommend the 1 at Lido cinema there. its on the 7th floor if i nvr remember wrongly. have to go by the lift from mac there 1.
Cant really compare the food here with the rest that i have mentioned. After eating at this restaurant u will notice the difference between fine dining jap food and chain outlets jap food.

Sakae is fine with me but I would rather chew rubber bands then take Ajisen's ramen. Somewhere in Clarke Quay (quite a long walk from Clarke Quay MRT station) there is this restaurant known as Ichiban Tei, its ramen is much better in quality and quantity.

For pure japanese buffet, Tsubaki at Novena has quite a decent variety of japanese cusine ranging from sushi, tempura, sashimi an estimate of 40+ dishes to choose from for $32 per head.

NT2 SG

both sucks....

not close to authentic japanese food

If you really want solid and with variety and wide spread, do try Waraku or Ichiban Boshi!

Those really pure original Jap restaurant would be @ mirama hotel and liang court! Razz

I had so many lunches at Sakae Sushi at Harbourfront with my junior until sianz. Almost everything try liaoz. Teppanyaki is not bad. I prefer their teppanyaki to their sushi.

I also tried sushi tei. Decor-wise more elegant and better ambience. Less noisy.
Had dinner last night at the Raffles City Branch. Decor real nice.
Food, companion had cold soba with deep fried prawns ($10)
I had soba in hot soup with beef ($10)
We shared a 18 pc sushi plate ($12)
We shared a Salmon belly soup ($6)
Had green tea ice cream ($2.50)
sesame ice cream ($2.50)

Prices-wise, comparable with sakae. Ambience-wise, better than Sakae. However, must commend that the bowl of beef soba isn't as nice as the one I had in their Holland Village branch. Standard differs at times I guess

My take is, you want a more elegant and quieter surrounding, go Sushi Tei.

Sakae sushi @ sentosa is quite a nice place to eat. Other then that, I wouldn’t even touch sakae. Have never tried ajisen before cause I’m not a fan of ramen. Ichiban Boshi is not bad for the price, but it is nowhere near Ikoi, Hanabi, Honjin etc. Waraku’s food can be quite inconsistent, depending on the branch.
