Donburi King 爆爆王 (ばくばくおう) - PLQ

Update 12/5/26 - Brought a friend here and she loved the No8 signature Chirashi too. There is now an ongoing promotion for this item at $60 for two sets (see photo of poster) which we missed ‘cos we didn’t see poster until we were about to leave and staff didn’t tell us. 📍If you plan to come, remember to ask about PROMOTION! Lunched here 3x in April 2026 after watching movies on weekdays. And each time I ordered the same but superb signature #8 Chirashi Don that comes with miso soup. ❤️ beautifully presented fish on rice bowl. The different colours of fish, octopus, pickles, eggs, cucumber and ginger add up to a visual feast which I absolutely adore. Showed that the rice bowl was thoughtfully and carefully prepared with passion and sincerity ❤️ chunks of fish are fresh, and I enjoyed the different textures. There were variety in taste and mouthfeel ❤️ the rice mixed with Japanese seasoning & sesame seeds was outstanding and I always finished every grain 👍 I normally go light on carbs especially plain white rice! ❤️ a very good balance of protein, fibre and carbs making it a great hearty meal for health conscious folks like me. Best of all, the rice bowl is very filling. I was comfortable until dinner. ❤️ Service staff were young, attentive with positive attitude. Food served within minutes. Tables, cutlery & floor were clean. Ample space between tables. Eatery owner was present during my three visits - friendly, not pushy, observant & helpful. He told me to place my beloved handbag on an unused chair👍 😬 I declined the eatery’s famous soya sauce ‘cos I prefer the seafood’s natural flavours. I’m also watching my sodium intake 😬 the miso soup was always a tad too rich for me and I just asked for hot water to be added, which the service staff would obliged without fuss 😬 nett price for lunch was about $31 but it’s money well spent for great quality food! ❤️ Donburi King has a grilled fish eatery next door. So if this place is fully occupied, I can still order my fave Chirashi and grab a seat there. Conclusion: I will return again and again and again 💯👍❤️⭐️🙏🤗 By the way, this place gives customers a free cheesecake for a Google review. I DID NOT bother about this freebie because I DON’T DO reviews for freebies or discounts. It’s a matter of principle.

Dining Experience @ Donburi King. . The Seiyo Shoro Chawanmushi / Truffle Steamed Egg Custard (SGD $7.50) has a fragrant aroma from truffle oil, while the wobbly dense soft steamed egg custard has eggy savoury sweet flavour. Garnished with soft pliant kamaboko / fish cake surimi, crunchy firm edamame / immature soy beans, and tender crunchy deshelled shrimp / prawns, all of which combine for sweet savoury vegetal earthy herbal flavour. . The Miso Shiru / Miso Soup (SGD $Part Of Set Meal) is filled with chunks of soft wobbly silken tofu bean curd, wispy crunchy kombu / kelp seaweed, and crisp green onions. Has lovely deep earthy savoury salty vegetal herbal flavour, yum. . Loved the Kaisen Don / Kaisen Donburi / Assorted Seafood Rice Bowl (SGD $35.80). Over the base of sticky fluffy seasoned white rice is topped generous thick-cut slices of fresh sashimi, including tender salmon fish loin with sweet savoury meaty flavour, tender tuna fish loin with meaty savoury sweet flavour, pliant swordfish belly with meaty savoury sweet flavour, soft tender scallops with sweet briny salty flavour, and crunchy shell-on shrimp with bright sweet savoury flavour. . Sitting on top is juicy globules of ikura / salmon fish roe caviar with bright briny salty sweet notes. Slices of juicy cucumber with vegetal sweet flavour, and tender tamago / rolled egg omelette with mild eggy sweet flavour, completes this dish. Feels so luxurious, deliciously yummy and filling.

This is an amazing place. The one metre long sashimi is incredibly fresh and tasty. The chef is very accommodating and the two service girls are very polite and helpful. When I complimented the boss, he very humbly said they serve sincerely from the heart. Highly recommend this fantastic joint.

.: : ::: - Donburi King at PLQ is a gem for Japanese cravings! The bustling, open-kitchen vibe is perfectly complemented by attentive staff who ensure a welcoming experience. The Unagi Don features beautifully glazed eel, while the Ramen offers a rich, comforting broth. For a true showstopper, don't miss Singapore’s 1st 1-meter sashimi and sushi platter. A festive, satisfying spot for a delicious meal! 😊✨✨✨
