Hi there,
I was at comex the other day, and decided to drop by Ootoya Japanese restaurant for a quick lunch. I had been to Ootoya at Orchard Central when they first opened, and also quite a few times in Bangkok where they have several branches. This is one of the place that its food speaks for itself. They serve authentic home cooked japanese food which is nutritious and good value.
They don’t have much ads to market their brand but the consistent high quality & unpretentious japanese food at reasonable pricing has win them quite a no. of fans. It is really one of the better japanese food I have in Singapore.
They pride themselves in serving wild Mackerels & Alaska Salmons (not farmed ones) and has always maintain consistency in their dishes.
As for this visit, my family has opted for chicken rice bowl & udon set ; a mini hot soba for my son and also negisauce for myself.
Pieces of fried chicken thigh meat served on salad greens, and topped off with potato salad and fresh sweet tomatoes. You can dizzle the dressing that comes with the dish, or just eat it on its own. If you are on a straight diet of no carbo, you can always just enjoy it on its own like a main salad.
Next came the udon with chicken rice bowl set. The udon was al dente and the soup was fantastic! It has graded raddish inside, so you can taste the saltiness of the dashi soup and the sweetness of the raddish. You can even add a little bit of heat by adding the japanese chili powder. You will definitely coming back for more!
Their menu also comes with an indication of the calories you will consume from each dish. Great for the health conscious so that they won’t bust their calorie count and at the same time enjoy their hearty meal.
I have attached some of their menu, so you can check out their wide variety of delicious japanese food. They also cater to take away as well, as they have a separate take away menu. I have yet to try their dessert menu as their portion is quite filing, perhaps I might drop by during their tea time to check out their tea time menu as well.
Oh I forgot to mention, they also have free refills for rice and ocha
