En Sakaba is a fusion of standing bar and bar with with seats now very popular with bar hoppers, especially in Japan. The restaurant offers a wide variety of Japanese grilled dishes that go extremely well with beers or wines.
We were at their JEM outlet for a late dinner this evening. We chose the outdoor alfresco dining so as to enjoy the cool evening breeze and live music from Starker. We ordered 2 dons and a side.
1. Foie Gras Don ($22) - portion is small for its price but quality is definitely value for money. The onsen egg was so well done. One touch and the silky yoke flows along the yakiniku beef slices which was extremely tender. The japanese rice was sweet as well. Yummy! Rating: 4/5
2. Kurobuta don ($18) - one of their very popular pork cheek don grilled with special sauce on rice. It was so tender every mouthful and we simply love their sauce. Rating: 4.2/5
3. Jumbo Hotate with Mentaiko cheese ($13) - tenderly grilled giant hotate with topped with mentaiko cheese. The natural soup from the scallop was simply awesome and so sweet in taste. The soup accompanied with the dons tasted so good... Rating: 4.2/5
We love the food here but prices are a little steep as compared to some other Japanese restaurant. Nevertheless with the quality and nice ambience, its worth a try to chill out with frenz!
