Aburi

I may not be too sold with the rice they’ve used in their rolls (hence the 4 rating, oh! plus the absence of house tea) but everything else was simply delightful. They did not skimp on the toppings or the ingredients to make every roll we ordered scrumptious. What’s amazing is the fact that they have put their signature on these regular favourites and made them into something uniquely their own. Of course I can only speak for what we have tried which were the : Premium Rolls - a 12 pieces combo of their Kylie Jenner, Lorenzo, and I think 🤔 the Philadelphia rolls. Each is made differently and flavoured differently to make each stand out on their own. Aburi California Rolls - it looks plain but the sauce topping tips the balance 👌🏻Salmon Aburi Rolls - the fancy edible toppings gave a balanced flavour on the whole. Hamachi Carpaccio - this is a must try, the sauce did remind me of a ceviche or a local kinilaw but then again it was aburi’s way of preparing that the fish meat retained its firmness and freshness. Wagyu Beef Cubes - this is a Must Order . Melts in your mouth 👌🏻. If you tried the beef cubes at Kikufuji, they are of the same premium beef, I reckon, because that’s what it reminded me of just as soon as I had the first bite. Scallops wrapped in Bacon - this is also a must order. It was soft and tasty. You don’t need any sauce to eat it. 5 pcs Ebi Tempura Pork Katsudon Just sad that they don’t have house tea (all Japanese places I’ve been to have house tea), but the Iced Tea is House blend 👌🏻Then order a dessert, Lorenzo’s S’mores is the best way to finish off a satisfying meal. Service was prompt, staff especially Harold and Angeli were most helpful 😊Itadakimasu!😋😋

Lacks Luster!!!While the food is ok, it is nothing close to spectacular. Having said this, the Beef and salmon Aburi are great. Ambience & decor is nice, with lovely umbrellas on the wall. Option to sit at the sushi bar available if you want to witness the making of your sushi or aburi. Before you order your japanese tea, check the price first because unlike most japanese reataurants, it is not complimentary. Waiters (maybe not all, just the two we encountered) are clueless about their food offerings and are inattentive. For such a small place, it takes extra effort to be noticed when you call on them.
