I recently visited the famous robatayaki place, Akanoya. While the service was great, I noticed some changes since the COVID-19 pandemic. The interaction between the chef and the crew, which used to be a highlight, is no longer the same. Additionally, the chef is no longer Japanese, which has altered the experience. Unfortunately, the food quality has also declined. My wagyu stick was served cold, the pork had an overpowering flavor, and the clam was not fresh. This is disappointing as Akanoya has been an iconic restaurant in Singapore for many years. I hope they can bring back the exceptional quality and experience they were once known for.

Great fun evening. Kids had fun interacting with the chefs as they grilled the food right in front of us!

It’s been years since my last visit before COVID. At that time almost every staff was from Japan, which made the whole experience quite Japan-like. Now completely opposite. Let alone the Japanese atmosphere, the way they present the food is not authentic Japanese way, for example I ordered garlic, and they served the whole garlic not peeled and skewered each piece. And kimchi comes with wagyu beef.. Most of all, it’s just extremely expensive.

Fantastic food , great ambiance and excellent service . Everything was so delicious and staff was very attentive . This is my second visit in a week . Last time , I was cold and they lent me a blanket . Today before asking for it , they gave me one . Food was delicious: tatami iwashi ( baby sardines ), hotate ( scallops ), Maitake , etc

After the renovation, the restaurant has lost its authenticity. It no longer feels like a traditional Japanese robatayaki restaurant that it used to be. We will not be going back again.

Went for the set lunch. A lot of food for the money. Service is good. Finished the meal with a mint and deodorant spray to get rid of the oily smell from clothes. The spray works very well.

No menu, no price. Just asked to choose directly from counter. As we came closer to their last order time, no one was in the restaurant. Food was okay, but way too pricey

It was our first visit and we love how fresh the dishes were! It was the first day restaurants can open for dine in so there were a couple of items that we wanted weren’t available. But because their food is so good, I’ve made another 2 reservations in the next 1 month!

the food was excellent and service very attentive. only thing is that the prices of food are not reflected anywhere, and you have to ask the servers for each food item if you wanna know the price. relaxed environment, good for couples and small groups.

Our first time there. To really enjoy the quality food, be prepared to pay a premium for it. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and feel that the quality of food was worthy of the special occasion.

The food is fresh and delicious. One of the authentic Japanese experience. Other than choosing over those that you saw on the counter, you can order almost anything you usually eat in a regular Japanese restaurant even though they do not have a regular menu.
