Misato

Been to the Centrepoint outlet a few times and was very happy to see they have now relocated to Orchard Gateway. They have a special soft launch now till 10 June at their new outlet with a 35% discount, but prior reservation is needed with the restaurant manager and only certain items are available during this period. This promotion is really worth the price, with such great food quality and presentation. The dishes all look so lovely and well-presented. Enjoyed the ebi donburi set, Teriyaki chicken donburi set and the warabi mochi. The restaurant manager and server were very friendly and welcoming too. So satisfied with everything. It was a lovely lunch.

Came on the last day of the soft opening promo and it was our best meal in a while! The food was incredibly fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented in pretty tableware. You can really feel the crew's hard work and dedication to perfection in this newer, more intimate space. Will definitely be back to support!

I’m back at Misato, a Japanese restaurant famous for food crafted and made with love, and the boss’ singing videos on Misato’s social media. Relocated to Orchard Gateway, the venue is slighter larger, with the exact same decor and feel as the previous location at Centrepoint. The food here is still as good, featuring hearty, robust flavours yielded from quality Japanese ingredients and condiments. And the service crew is as friendly and warm as ever. I’m not exactly a Donburi person but I absolutely love the Wagyu Donburi here, which is served in a hot Japanese claypot to ensure every bite is piping hot. The medium rare beef is so tender, juicy, meaty and sweet that every bite makes me feel so blissful. The meat tastes and feels so luxurious, when paired with the smooth starchy Japanese rice, tastes so comforting. A must-order here. The Corn Soup pleasantly surprises me how incredibly sweet it is, with laces of savoury goodness. A dash of pepper makes it even more exciting and lifts up the creamy sweetness. Best corn soup? Yes! The signature Okonomiyaki here is packed with lots of goodies, such as cabbage, mayo and bonito flakes, yielding a taste that packs lots of punches. The texture is excellent too, where the custardy core juxtaposes so well with the crunchy cabbage and slightly crispy exterior. I order Grilled Mochi because I’m simply curious on its taste. Grilled mochi is more chewy after grilled, but is still easy to bite, completed with a layer of char for extra dimension in taste. My favourite part of this dessert is actually the matcha soup with red bean. The clear astringent, slightly bitter taste of matcha is perfect match with the earthy sweetness of the red bean. The Lemongrass drink here is loaded with most amount of the aromatic herbal goodness of lemongrass. Even more concentrated than the lemongrass drinks in Thai restaurants! This is definitely, 100%, the best lemongrass drink. Thoughts: Comforting Excellent Food, with no Holding Back

Food is amazing and super appetizing! We had the Ohmi wagyu and it was tender and the flavors of the dish bursting. The oyakudon & tomkatsu are huge portions and delicious tooo! We ended off with the matcha dessert & warabi mochi, was a nice touch to end off the meal. Service was great tooo, always feel like home here!

Misato is closing / shifting out of Centrepoint mid of April. My friend suggested that we dine there together as it taste good at affordable prices. I got the Sudachi Soba that was served adorably with a radish made duck on lime. It was a refreshing dish and I devoured it quite quickly. My friends ordered the chicken cutlet rice and curry rice. They were all delicious and well plated. I especially enjoyed the Okonomiyaki and am sure I would have been able to finish it entirely on my own.
