Jonathan Lim

This hole in the wall japanese joint serves excellent food with great service from its staffs & has a very cosy interior. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

Foie gras aglio oglio ($32). Self-indulgent dish. Complex flavours— ramen is fried with chilli flakes , seared foie gras is predictably nutty, & slices of smoked duck added more fat & texture ????????

TFS chirashi bowl . sashimi perhaps not as fresh & tasty as expected but still a decent combi & satisfying dish. stuffed eggplant gratin was the winner, as was the tiger prawns with rice .

Cheen The Curious

Soft-shell crab tempura with truffle mayo ($19). This portion (under “Entrees-Small Bites” is different from the $35 one under “Dinner-Large Sharing Platters”. So tasty you can’t stop at one bite ????

Vally Azar

The sushi is so good it makes up for the considerable wait & price. The Chirashi is delectable, the Tiger Prawns are rich and delicious, and the Signature Maki is a row of surprising & yummy morsels.

Li-Sha Lapar

Really generous portions for what you pay, especially if you go for their bentos . The chirashi bowl is excellent and also very generous. Wonderful and extremely attentive service too! Lovely place.

Silene Lim

Modern Japanese. I really like the miso glazed Chilean sea bass . But I like the Summer Chirashi Bento , with decent price points. The ambience has a New York style hole in the wall vibe.

Cheen The Curious

Unagi chirashi ($25) was both a visual & gustatory feast. Found under the “Sushi Bar - Chirashi Bowls ” menu, the kitchen put in effort to dress up an otherwise boring unagi bowl

Ray Sng

Cosy little Japanese restaurant that is within a small lane, away from the main Amoy Street. HIDDEN GEM .

Cheen The Curious

Salmon & ikura don ($28). For dinner , u r not limited to just the “Dinner ” menu. Check out “Entrees”, and even chirashi bowls from their “Sushi Bar ” menu

Cheen The Curious

Love it when a hole-in-a-wall discovery exceeds expectations & serves really gr8-tasting food. Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch (chef 's special bento )!

Cheen The Curious

Garlic butter clam udon ($23). Substantial, creamy plate. Generous serving of clams . Nice crunch with chopped asparagus

Renata Oliveira

Best sushi I've had in Singapore. The staff is very nice, they remembered my order as soon as I walked in on my second time here. Not cheap , but totally worth it!

William Ng

The portion of the TFS Chirashi wasn't as big as I expected. But the signature maki is a nice mix of everything- spicy salmon , crab stick , ikura , scallop and sweet shrimp .

Cheen The Curious

Truffled organic ribeye steak ($45 for 200g). Sweet juicy flavours. Contrasted well with the grilled veges

James Papaya

The signature chirashi bowl has enough ingredients to consider it a celebratory dish. Service is always personable and efficient. Love this place. California maki are gigantic, five in a plate.

Clara A

Fantastic hole in the wall Japanese restaurant . Love the vibe and feel of the place. Order the pumpkin croquette and the truffled ebi fry. Won't be disappointed!

Trina

Tiny little spot down a "this can't be Singapore" alley. Seafood salad , sushi , grilled fugu , and miso gindara were all good! Good pacing of food and attentive staff

Nicole Tay

The charashi bowl is really good. Cost $25, and I feel that the price is reasonable because of the amount of ingredients it has.

Ian Thomtori

Overall verdict, nice n cosy interior, great svc, sashimi is fresh, chef 's surprise looks good. Sashimi salad can be better. Love the #fortetea bags used here! #thomtorieats

Cheen The Curious

Pretty green tea : Look how high-class their green tea bag looks like! Found out the brand is Tea Forte, a gourmet tea provider

Ting

My daily chef 's special bento @ $30 is not that special. Just my luck? The chirashi bento and sushi bento looks better. Will order that next time.

Brandon Lee

Fantastic! Must tries include the signature maki - one of the best I've had, crab and Avocado salad . Go for the black asahi . Fantastic!!

Li Sum

The TFS chirasi bowl left lasting impression because of the rice . Ikura and salmon bits in the rice added great touch to the taste.

Tash Z

This stuff on the spoon is awesome! Very pleased with the tiger prawns but the portions & service disappoint

Sunny Bee

Signature TFS Chirashi . It's different from the usual daily lunch bento Chirashi set on their menu.

Titus Phoon

Love the Chirashi don, special maki and Ebi fry!

Jolanda H.

Amazing sushi place. Try the egg and the belly of torro and salmon

Veronika Kovaličová

Hot sake , salmon belly , California rolls , maki , sashimi , nice staff ... This place has it all!

Alvin Chan

cosy hole in the wall rest. a wee bit squeeze but that's it's charm. food is decent but not to die for. good but not great. what stood out for me was the cold half poached egg with roe and seaweed .

Izzy Sanchez

The spicy tuna roll , chicken Karaage , tuna roll , and gyoza .

Jonathan Lim

TFS oysters (6 for $36) were big, fresh & succulent. Yummy !

Vix

The Bloody Mary comes in a small tumbler but gosh does it pack a punch. Spicy , full of flavour and a generous portion of alkie...

Helen Zhang

Sushi set is great. Unagi don is great. Solid lunch place.

Ian Lui

•7.5/10 •Pumpkin korokke •OK chirashi •Cute Japanese brunch place

Rita Goh

Best restaurant find in a while. Try the fugu !

Nicole Tay

Grilled fugu is really good. Taste a little like ba kwa though.

Nicole A

Reservation is a must. It's a very tiny restaurant . Sushi was good. Quite good value for money .

Terence Wei

Black Asahi is available all along the streets of Telok Ayer and Amoy, if you happen to pay any attention. I rather drink the black at Hinode, or even at Naked Coffee . Bttr service less the attitude

Sunny Bee

TFS Chirashi is yummy & good value .

miss_yvonne

Hole-in-the-wall Japanese eatery . Great lunch bentos !

Beeee

They have creative cocktails , pretty cool.

Alap Bharadwaj

The crunchy unagi maki is delicious!

Paul Tuddenham

Lunch was a little expensive in comparison to other places in the CBD. The interior decor is quite good though

Nicole Tay

The cocktails here are so-so. Not spectacular, but there's sparkling sake available, interesting find.

kisacake

Chiraishi bento is good. Service is really slow during weekday lunch time though, so don't expect a quick meal here.

Cheen The Curious

Eclectic objects in the dark

Karen Wee

Love the Umeichizu Plum Wine & coffee here.

Asha J

The freshness of the sashimi can be a hit or miss.

Renata Oliveira

My favorite place in this neighborhood !
