Reviewers mention unagi, soft shell crab, beef udon and bento sets, and some praise the presentation and return visits.
A Japanese set meal is a good way to try a kitchen, since it offers a balance of rice, a main, sides and soup in one tray. Sashimi should be eaten soon after it arrives and while cold, and soy sauce and wasabi are meant to enhance the fish, so use sparingly. Fried items such as tempura or prawn rolls are best eaten at once, while still crisp. Mall restaurants are busiest at weekend lunch and dinner, so booking ahead or arriving off-peak helps.
For Japanese sets, sushi and sashimi at Jurong Point, Ichiban Boshi is a familiar, established name.
