Rakuichi Japanese Restaurant Review

This is one of those rare places where you can't take pictures of the dishes, because as soon as they touch the table, people are immediately reaching in to try the latest offering. We ordered a lot of food and everything was fresh and delicious. It more than satisfied our sushi craving, and it's definitely on my short list of places to go back to. While you're in Dempsey Hill, walk around - there are delightful store and shops spread out all around. Take note: you may want to make sure you have taxi or car service arranged to take you back from Dempsey Hill. Most of the cabs are heading in the opposite direction (going home) and do not want to take you back to city center. After a frustrating hour waiting and calling from the taxi stand area, we finally reached out to our hotel (thank you Fullerton Bay - best hotel in Singapore!) and they arranged for a car to pick us up.

I love coming here because it's so convenient. You can always find parking right outside in the Dempsey Hill area. The place is decent though uninspiring. And the air-conditioning is sometimes a bit warm, but overall it's just... Decent. It's affordable, service is pleasant and the cooking very reliable. It's not mind blowing which is why it gets only 4/5 in my rating but don't let that deter you. The aburi sets here are always good and well priced, so aburi lovers can eat to their heart's content and not have to worry about the consequences to their wallets.
