Check out what I got for $24.90.
Chiraishi porn indeed. If you thought Chikuwa Tei was generous with the fish - you gotta check these guys out. There was just a thin layer of rice, mind you. "Omg there's another layer of sashimi here" the guys (yes, grown men) moaned.
B wanted uni so he ordered the Premium Chiraishi Don at $38.90. It's essentially the same as what we had, just with uni and ebi.
We were the face of gluttony that afternoon. The 4 of us (3 guys and a girl) also ordered:
The Slices of Rare Sirloin ($14.90 for 100 g - we ordered 200g!) was delish - great marbling for the price and perfectly cooked.
Scallop mentaiyaki ($13.90) - thinly sliced carpaccio of scallop lightly aburi-ed with delicious mentaiko mayonnaise. Loved this!
Aburi salmon/soft shell crab roll ($13.90 for 8 pieces) - this hit the spot for me. I love all things aburi-ed and these guys really know how to wield a torch!
Don't judge us, but 4 chiraishi dons and all of the above later, we ordered more sushi. I was craving anago - you understand how cravings work right? Erm, right?
Verdict: A totally over-the-board meal but pat-on-our-backs - we actually managed to finish all that food. Yes, I polished off my humongous Chiraishi Don! The bill for 3 "normal" Chiraishi dons and 1 Premium Don, together with all the above and 3 asahi beers, came up to $50 per pax. A darned good deal if you ask me. They were relatively crowded on the Saturday afternoon we were there. I hear weekday lunchtime crowd can get a bit crazy. And no wonder. Sheesh. Do they earn from this?
heard so many good things about this! Now I must check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
