Ambiance and Setting
Suju Masayuki Takashimaya boasts a serene and elegant ambiance, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling Orchard Road. The restaurant’s minimalist Japanese decor, with wooden accents and soft lighting, creates a cozy yet refined atmosphere. Window seats offer views of the greenery across the road, enhancing the dining experience. While the space is slightly less intimate than its Mandarin Gallery counterpart, the calm setting makes it ideal for a relaxing meal, especially during off-peak hours.
Signature Soba Noodles in Hot Broth with Assorted Tempura
The Soba Noodles were cooked properly al dente with a nice bite. The vegetable tempura had a light coating of batter, dip it in the broth and have it with the noodles together. This is our way of enjoying the soba noodles with tempura.
Bara-Chirashi
This was simply Suju sushi rice topped with assorted dice cuts sashimi with tamago and cucumber. Nothing fancy just decent sashimi. We just wished the cuts of sashimi could be chunkier for better taste and texture of the seafood.
