Kuriya

I have blogged countless of times about the bad Japanese food situation in Singapore but I have to say that lately, I have been impressed with a chain that I have never tried until recently.

Kuriya Restaurant at Shaw Center is a place worth going. Its right up there with the "middle class," of Japanese food in Singapore. Not quite top end like Shiraishi at the Ritz, and not disgusting like Genki Sushi has become. Its what the experts call, "The Soft Spot."

With only 4 restaurants, I don't think Kuriya can be considered a chain but I just think that we share similar values. The food quality is high. Fish is fresh. They don't do alot of things like the typical Japanese fare but the few things that they do, they do it right. And I think its not ridiculous if each time you go into a restaurant, you expect good food. Fresh food. Tasty foods.

There are several stores but I do recommend the one at Shaw Center. Its relatively quiet.

I have read differentiating opinions about this place but 2 out of 2 Doctors I know, recommend this place. So I don't think its that bad.

Kuriya. Its worth a punt.
