Located at 48 Boat Quay. Took bus #166 and drop-off at Boat Quay bus stop. Walked backwards towards the bridge, then turned right towards the coffeeshops and another left turn into the small lane towards the river. Turn right and you'll pass by Neko Neko Cats Cafe. Walk a few more steps and soon enough, the restaurant shall come into view.

Housed in a three-storey building, private rooms are available at Level 2 and 3. If one prefers to enjoy the cool breeze while sizzling the meats, then their alfresco area would be ideal.

As dinner that night was a hosted affair, we were invited to dine at Level 2, in one of the private rooms.

The restaurant uses the smokeless charcoal grill system, hence, our dining experience was quite comfortable.

First plate was the beautiful A4 Grade Ohmi wagyu.

The beef was unmarinated and there is a bowl of sauce provided to dip the meat in first before grilling. In its unadulterated form, the meat (as expected of wagyu) tasted delicate. Karubi fats needed that bit more time on the grill, while the ribeye can be enjoyed after few seconds of sear on each side.

If you're feeling ravenous while slowly grilling the meat, piece by piece, fret not. Have the huge onigiri, or a bowl of garlic fried rice while waiting.

The crisp that came from roasted seaweed (leave it for a few seconds on the grill) sounded amazing. So crispy!

The clam miso soup goes quite well with the garlic fried rice.

For greens intake, had the Arashi Kaisen Salad. Generously loaded with slivers of salmon sashimi, mixed greens (instead of just cabbages, for variety) and with wafu dressing. Fresh greens with tangy sauce. What's not to like?

For ala-carte, the serving size is 150 gms. Depending on the cut, the price per serving ranges from $48.80++ to $98.80++ for A4 Grade Ohmi wagyu. Likewise, for Australian wagyu, the price per serving ranges from $28.80++ to $65++.

Arashi Yakiniku's Australian wagyu are from purebred cattles. Its meat has less marbling and had a stronger beef flavour as compared to Japanese wagyu.
For non-beef eater, there's pork and seafood to choose from.

The grilled pork was very tasty. Contributing factor? Besides good meat, it was also marinated. Guess, we're too accustomed to stronger flavours. Goes well with beer!

Lastly, longan jelly for dessert.
