Waraku's one of my favourite-st Japanese hangout because of its affordability and quality food! I first came to know of it along East Coast Parkway when it was still under a different name..finally step foot when it merged with another and was introduced as "Waraku", I've not looked back since! A showcase of a couple of my favourites and new dishes..though I must admit for Waraku, I stick to mostly those couple of dishes despite being a self-acclaimed experimental eater.
Niku Curry in Udon ($10), a must order every single visit. It's grilled beef slices with curry udon. Uber delicious I'd say, though Japanese curry is very different from your usual Indian/Malay curry. It's watery but blends really well with the udon and beef. *thumbs up!*
Ebi Ten Maki ($9.80)
A must order for me every single time as well...it's a sushi roll with ebi tempura. The presentation wows, simply because it comes in a long plate and has the full prawn there, including the head. This dish like the curry udon has never failed me, taste wise. Very consistent. The tempura's fried lightly, not your usual heavy/overcooked tempura at some places...together with the rice and seaweed, oiishii!
Sashimi Salmon ($6.80/3 slices)
Waraku's one of those places that has pretty normal sashimi...not the melt in your mouth kind...just normal. Definitely pricey for 3 slices!
Tempura ($12)
Ramune ($2.80) Not too sure about this but it's a kind of soda with packaging that wows. The waitress pops the bottle, the glass ball falls to the bottle neck of the bottle with a loud "clink" and prevents the liquid from flowing out too fast. Awesome, I was attracted to that glass orb for a loong time, just gazing at it. The soda's not fantastic though.
Waraku's really consistent with their quality and standard of food across all outlets which is what consumers like me are looking for. Their seasonal menu's always so enticing. Great to hangout, dine...or just to satisfy that japanese craving. Service is above average but would be nice if it wasn't so crowded as they've got a tendency to clear your tables really quick, a subtle enough hint to "get your ass out".
Still is on my list of regular hangouts!
Reservations are a must for weekends!

Tempura ($12)
It came in a presentation that was really impessive, complete with dried buckwheat? Or a bunch of dried something. The soba noodles are chewy and different from the sakae kind..however...a comparison with shimbashi? I'd say...shimbashi anytime! Quite a deal with the portions given.
