Kyoaji Dining

Savour the true flavours of Japan, right here in Singapore at Kyoaji Dining, tucked away on Somerset Road in Orchard. Executive Chef John Phua helms the kitchen here, dishing out outstandingly innovative creations from his omakase menu, designed to showcase his versatility in working with a broad array of fresh and seasonal ingredients. Enhance your experience by asking about the best recommendations in Japanese beers and liquors to pair each dish with, but above all else, don’t forget to make a reservation at this Orchard Road restaurant as seats tend to fill up fast.

It’s not every day that we get to sample authentic Japanese cuisine in Singapore but when we do allow ourselves that treat, it’s gotta be something worth remembering. Over in Orchard, you can count on Kyoaji Dining to deliver the goods, especially in its innovative omakase menu, where you leave it up to Executive Chef John Phua to decide what should end up on your table that day. Although the courses may vary, the creative flair executed across every dish remains consistent, as is the use of fresh and seasonal oceanic catch imported directly from Japan.

Nevertheless, a la carte options at Kyoaji Dining remain every bit as enjoyable, and a popular choice for lunch is none other than the gyu niku shogayaki gozen, or beef with ginger sauce bento set. Seafood fans will love the sashimi moriawase (assorted raw fish platter), while the surume ika teriyaki (grilled cuttlefish with teriyaki sauce) will please those with an affinity for the slightly charred taste of grilled delights. Don’t skip out on the selection of premium Japanese liquors for a more palatable dining experience – simply ask your waiter for a recommendation if you need one. Kyoaji Dining’s excellent location on Orchard Road puts it within easy reach from all corners of Singapore, so should you ever find yourself craving a first-rate Japanese meal in the heart of Orchard, you know where to go. Just remember to book ahead to avoid disappointment.
