Jimoto Dining - 9 King Albert Park

Wanted to try their ramen but was told they recently changed to omakase style. We ordered a 5-course omakase (S$55++) for sharing. The omakase was very underwhelming. For the amount paid, the portion was so small. The last course was actually a bowl of mushroom soup that tasted so bland like drinking water (I didn’t even bother taking picture of it). For this price, you can easily get a much better quality and bigger-portion omakase elsewhere. Don’t think I will be patronizing this place again.

For $128++ I guess i shld not be complaining. 1. Pitan toufu 2. Assorted sashimi (no clue what I was having) 3. Sea grapes + itoyori (braised I think) + radish 4. Prawn, scallop and fish (forgot the name) 5. Some truffle infused rice bowl + ikura + sashimi slices 6. Saba sushi 7. Anago sushi 8. Madai sushi 9. Ishidai sushi 10 spicy tuna sushi 11. Miso soup 12. Cheese cake I wouldn't say the food is excellent nor bad but I would rather eat something else than pay 128++ for the above ( if u know what I mean). Service staff A+ for me. Chef shld also inform the customer what they are eating. I had to ask the chef what we were eating. I ain't a food guru :p

Gotten an omakase set and a seasonal fish to share. The fish was made into sashimi that cost $60 and the head was made into Japanese fish head soup Serves Premium malt on the tap and also huge variety of sake to try. The owner mentioned that they will be moving out from the east and relocated to the west side of Singapore.

Surprisingly good new Japanese restaurant on Joo Chiat Road. It's still quite new and they're still experimenting with menu and opening hours, but flavours and ingredients are very good. Good range of saké by glass, and the set lunch is excellent value - definitely worth the small price upgrade to add various side dishes.

Unravel into the nostalgic King Albert Park Mall that brings about this lovely casual dining Japanese restaurant. Freshly minted after their move from Joo Chiat, Jimoto Dining offers affordable omakase dining to its patrons. Reservation was made on the day itself without much hassle. The dinner with family were nicely ushered in by the service staff, as the restaurant was located on the upper level of the shop front. We ordered the $98 per pax omakase as recommended by the chef. We also ordered a bottle of sake for guilty pleasures during the dinner. Food were good and tasty, with a nice combination of chilled and warm Japanese cuisine. Restaurant service was alright and fluid, apart from the occasional walkie talkie communication between the lower floor and the upper floor due to the setup of the restaurant. To further note, the upper dining floor can hold only 7 patrons on each single session which is only for omakase dining. Still, the overall experience achieved were positive and given the cosy dining experience, it was appreciated that the restaurant didn’t give off that overcrowding and cramping feeling. Definitely recommended to anyone, craving good tasty Japanese food.

A little space at KAP with 7 seatings. Not a good dining experience as the space was v small and the other 5 patrons were being extremely noisy. The owner/ Chef were joining in the conversations which made it even noisier. The whole eating experience was also not pleasant as the owner/Chef came over a few times to ask if we wanted to add this ‘special dish’ or that ‘special dish’. Wasn’t the intimate Omakase dining experience I had in mind. The food quality was good hence the 3 stars though half the time we weren’t sure what was being served, except those ‘special items’ .

Its my second time there. And i can now clearly say the first was not a fluke. If you are here for the omakase, then please make reservations. And check the menus that are available. I have tried their 98 and 128 menus and felt that both are clearly worth their allotted prices. Nothing is better then knowing and feeling that you get what you paid for. I look forward to my next time there and hope that it continues into the future. Cheers to you Jinmoto. I am glad to try you on a whim. P.s really, make a reservation to be more secure of satisfaction.

Very affordable, delicious, authentic Japanese Omakase dinner. Great customer service. Really enjoy my dinner. Very appreciate your effort. Will return with my wife next time.
