Nice food and good service. We ordered a bottle to hot sake and waiter suggested to try it with some lemon. Food was good too, away from the crowd on a weekend night

I ordered the chicken cartilage. They were made to order and well seasoned. You can see the chef preparing it from the kitchen window. Cooked donburi were alright. Drinks on the other hand were on the lighter side. (I ordered Lemon Sour) Overall pretty satisfied with my meal :) Definitely will come back for skewers!

We decided to try JINzakaya as we were craving for some yakitori. Everything that we ordered turned out to be amazing, whether it was yakitori, the rice bowl or the grilled unagi. The service was really good, too! Will definitely be back.

I went there as it was part of the les amis group but I was disappointed with the quality of the food for the value paid.

Great food and service, reason why I didn't score it full points is because it looks modern and contemporary; I personally prefer the look and feel of a classic Japanese izakaya.

The grilled items did not disappoint. Must try (in my opinion) are the grilled oysters. The oysters are wrapped in pork belly and a silver of lettuce, which complimented and brought out the sweetness of the oysters. Also tried the King Prawn with Uni sauce. Dish was slightly pricey at $25 for 1 prawn, but the prawn was fresh and perfectly cooked. Uni sauce had a tad too much mayo for my liking. Overall, food quality was high. Quite a good selection of sakes as well. Worth a visit!

Must order the momotaro tomato and great sake selection! Check out their revamped menu and promotions as well (enquirer in store). Can be a tad noisy...

The rice and noodle dishes were decent - the favourite was the garlic fried rice. Yakitori range is bit limited and could do with more seasoning.

It was difficult getting service. Food is overall good but past visits yielded no grilled squid (no reason). Deep-fried squid tentacles was dry and tough.

Quiet setting, simple menu. However, the portions were rather small. Service was great, as the staff were very attentive. The curry is recommended, and so is the gyoza.

The ambience was great. Udon dish is worth trying. However, overall it is quite expensive and service may be quite slow. Good to go in a group.

The FOUR x FOUR lunch set menu was misleading. We were under the impression that it's 4 courses each, but you get to choose only 1 course out of the sections.

Nice jap decor restaurant with delicious yakitori and ramen. Would be perfect if they extend their donburi and ramen selection as it is currently limited to 3-4 choices.

Great service and yummy yakitori especially the chicken wings. Prior to date, the staff called me to ask if I would like to pre order chicken liver which I had feedback in previous visit's review. Thumbs up.

Good food and ambience. Prices are decent and reasonable. While the eatery is a bit small, it's perfect for a quiet Friday dinner for 2 or a small group of friends.

Good value set lunch, though meat portion is a little small compared to the rice. Great service, keep topping up tea without prompting. Greetings are a bit too loud, each time a customer comes into the restaurant, our conversation is interrupted.

Went back to the restaurant again for my favourite HIYASHI CHUKA RAMEN ($12.80) cold ramen x crabmeat x egg x salmon roe x shredded chicken x homemade sauce. Its just so nice! However, didn't know that they don't serve YAKIMONO for lunch, was a pity that I couldn't order.

There were some hits and misses... Nice ambience and decoration (sake lights and japanese posters. Server's premium sake recommendation was good and sake cups were really pretty. We enjoyed the baked potato very much. The chef was heavy handed with salt which was later moderated after our feedback. Only the yakimono was changed but the ika we had to still finish it though it was salty. The yakimono offering was rather limited; no chicken liver etc. We were also a bit surprised that the complimentary appetizers and ebi were quite a small portion. Overall a nice place to dine but there are many other well established izakayas in Singapore. For sustainability, restaurant needs to come up with more interesting promotions or menu.
