One of the best unagi rice bowl I have ever had, the skin is so crispy, the portion is great (we ordered a set and shared for 2 people), there is an option to add soup for different style of taste. The queue is not too bad there are a bunch of seating.

Made a reservation for group of 6, and we were given a private room. We tried their original hitsumabushi and shirayaki (salt grilled without sauce). Both were good, personally preferred the one with sauce as it’s more flavourful. Also tried the eel liver, it had a bitterness to it as it was slightly burnt, but otherwise it tasted like oyster/chicken liver.

Felt it was a bit pricey but portions are huge.

Food took a while to arrive but it was peak lunch hour. Service was friendly.

This is the best Unagi I’ve ever had!
I know this is not TOKYO style, it is NAGOYA style unagi. But this Unagi is sooo delicious! Even the rice was perfect!! I usually avoid carbohydrates, but the rice here was so delicious that I ate it all.
