How we read reviews →Elegant CBD Japanese fine dining famed for foie gras wagyu fried rice and fresh sashimi.
Elegant, intimate fine dining inside the Sheraton, with cherry-blossom-themed private tables, gold-leaf garnish and dramatic dry-ice platter presentation. Feels refined without being stuffy on a normal night, but reviewers describe it turning chaotic and cramped during peak occasions like Valentine's Day.
Tableside DIY sukiyaki and shabu-shabu hotpot, cherry blossom-themed seating bookable in advance, dry-ice reveal for sashimi platters, gold-leaf garnish, complimentary birthday cards and candles.
Japanese-language reviewers specifically praise dishes like the miso-yaki cod and chawanmushi as matching what they've eaten in Japan, rating the cod 9.5/10 for authenticity.
Premium pricing ($128-$198 set menus, up to $168 for hotpot) with a sharp split in sentiment: reviewers praising the foie gras fried rice and sashimi call it worth it, while others on busy peak nights felt the price didn't match a chaotic, under-resourced service experience.
