Japanese restaurant in the east-central

If you're looking for a place that offers authentic Japanese flavors without breaking the bank, Kushi Japanese Dining is definitely worth checking out. I found their variety impressive, ranging from sashimi boats to izakaya-style dishes like grilled squid and fried salmon fin. The atmosphere is perfect for group dining, creating a lively yet comfortable vibe. One thing to note is their generous portion sizes, which means you get great value for money. The truffle hotate (scallop) carpaccio stood out to me as a must-try dish, with its rich flavor that was beautifully balanced. While the salad wasn't my favorite, most will enjoy the variety of fresh and tasty options available. Also, don't miss out on their garlic fried rice and chicken wings if you're in the mood for something more filling. I appreciated how the menu suits both casual dinners and special occasions, making it a versatile spot in the East-Central area. For those who search for "affordable Japanese food" or "budget Japanese restaurant" in Singapore, Kushi is a solid find. Its location in Paya Lebar Square adds convenience, and the good prices paired with quality food make it a popular choice among locals and visitors alike.
