Kei Kaisendon AMK HUB

Delicious neighbourhood kaisendon! Love the generous amount of wasabi and portion of sashimi!

I ordered the regular set but it is smaller than expected. Don't be deceived by the picture. Not a value for money meal.

I had a strong craving for sashimi that day. I chose this place because it looked decent and has a good crowd so I decided to give this place a shot but the food was such a let down and what was worse was that the server forgot to take my order too. ?‍♀️ The Ebi Mentaiyaki Kaisendon was served late and it was mild warm so the raw seafood on the dish doesn't taste fresh. The ebi too which they claimed to be the best part of the dish was also what a let down. It was so fishy and slimy, I'm pretty sure it's because it wasn't fresh. The price tag of the whole dish also didn't help either. It was close to 20$ and I think I would have had a much better time buying the salmon sashimi in basement 2 than this. Also to the servers at the place, I know it might be because they were busy but please be more attentive of the customers. The servers were hiding behind the counter so I had to walk up there and ask about my order myself. It was fine that the person was busy but it turned out they were busy chit chatting away. ?‍♀️ What makes it more infuriating was that I think I waited for 20 minutes for my order and in that time no one went to check on my order. ?‍♀️ This was a very bad experience and it made my already bad mood even worse. At the very least, the server was apologetic but I still wouldn't recommend it.

So, in a nutshell, it's a deconstructed California Hand Roll. I tried their signature regular kaisen don. It's colorful, with plenty of ingredients. Only some of the ingredients are canned, like mock abalone, canned scallop, and those jelly seaweeds. There are some real ? too. So, not for Gordon Ramsay and those wanting premium seafood. But people pay money to eat luncheon meats in restaurants, so who can say what you like to eat? Not really value, but if you want to spend $19 to eat it, I think it's ok. And I won't fault people for liking it.

A clean, comfortable but small eatery. I had the small serve signature Kaisendon and it was filling enough for a not-so-hungry me. The salmon and octopus taste fresh and the dish comes together very well. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

We had an enjoyable dinner here. Be prepared to queue during peak hours as the restaurant is quite small and there’s not many seats. They don’t accept reservations. We went for the Burpple set menu which is a good deal. It came with a rice bowl of our choice, salad miso soup, skewers and green tea. The chirashi rice bowl was filling and there was enough ingredients to go with the rice.

The outlet is like any other of their outlets is quaint; selection has been enhanced to provide a wider variety of food, but it seems the prices have gone up as well. My dish has been substituted by cutter fish which was a disappointment since not everyone who comes in will like to bite on hard cutter fish. Otherwise it's an efficient little kitchen.
