Went for the first time with my friends. One of my friends live near the other branch so he took us to eat at this branch since it's nearer to school.
The staff is very friendly! (and maybe because I speak Malay/Indonesian.. Hahaha) You can choose to "hidang" which means you choose 4 to 5 dishes to eat together with your friends (and of course 1 plate of rice for each) or just eat "econ-rice-style", choosing various dishes to go with your 1 plate of rice. They serve rendangs, eggs, various vegetable plates, and super duper delicious tahu telor!
And it's soooo cheap. I usually only spend 4 dollars for a very fulfilling meal. My friend who ordered the most (plus some fishes and some other other things..) ended up spending only 7 dollars. Wow.
Once went there with ping.sg friends and they liked it a lot too!
Haven't gone there in a while. Will go there soon~~~
If you have read some of my reviews you might already know that my boyfriend is a big sucker for Japanese food and since we like to eat together (it's like our favourite pastime as a couple. ahahaha), I agreed when he brought me to this Marche-like Japanese restaurant.
First impression.. Cool. Stalls offer different food.. And there are purikuras (photo sticker station) at the middle of the restaurant. Didn't try it though.
Went there twice and our orders were kinda the same. Omu rice.. Gyoza.. Omelette.. Some satays.. Hmm can't remember.. (yes we order a lottttttt)
The omu rice is like.. er... Rice with tomato ketchup. I know it's supposed to be some tomato rice, but really.. Tastes like rice dipped in tomato sauce. And we gotta wait so long.. About 7 minutes plus. Well I would have been able to agree had the restaurant not been empty (it was not "peak hour"). Same goes to other items. Gotta wait for minutes and minutes and minutes. It's getting irritating when you order a lot and expect to eat soon (and the restaurant is not crowded!) but told to wait wait and wait. Sigh..
Ended up with 30 plus bill. My wallet is not happy...
Polarbearsaid: Hmm.... they prepare on the spot. Of cos got to wait. Relax. next time ask ur bf to wait while u wait at the table. Hee..... 21 Apr 2008 at 8:59 am

Tried it the first time because my friend forced me to buy the meesua. It was very nice! I don't like oyster though so I didn't eat the oyster. My boyfriend likes the crispy xxl chicken. However he (and I) are not allowed to eat deep fried food so often anymore so we don't buy it so often. I like the crepes! I always order the crepes. It's not too expensive but tastes really good.
Overall, I think it's nice ;) although can be sinful sometimes.. Find out how much calories are inside that crispy xxxxxl chicken. =P
Polarbearsaid: Hmm..... U should go taiwan and eat the orginals one. U will find local version sucks big time. 21 Apr 2008 at 9:01 am

snowlightssaid: Both are family restaurants but Ichiban Boshi serve more than just sushi. They offer grilled and cooked dishes as well. 24 Apr 2008 at 5:40 pm
snowlightssaid: oops..sorry wrong column! 24 Apr 2008 at 5:41 pm

I don't know what's the difference between Ichiban Boshi and Ichiban Sushi. What I know is that they're very nice!
Nice restaurant! And nice sushi! You can search for my review on Ichiban Sushi and you will know how much I love Ichiban Sushi's sushi (that's repetition). Their unique sushis.. Their nice sauce (and even wasabi)..
Ichiban Boshi is no different. Well I don't know.. They have some set menus.. Maybe that's one thing different from Ichiban Sushi? I didn't eat the set lunch though. I love the sushis too much.
Service is good. Waiters/waitresses can speak English well (this is important for Chinese-looking people whose Mandarin command is super poor or non-existing at all. Namely, me) and comes fast when you call them. Even when you want just a refill for your hot ocha (my favourite!).
Place is spacious. It's not really crowded when I came though.. I don't know what really happens in meal hour. If you'd like to eat just the sushi (or staring at the conveyor belt.. Or staring at some cute young chefs in the middle of the conveyor belt...) you can sit at the high chairs available. Not really comfortable, but suitable if you're in a hurry (or as I said.. You want to stare at the cute young chefs. Hehehehe).
Food is reasonably priced. Quite expensive, maybe, but really worth every cents.

snowlightssaid: and..hahaha, if you happens to drop by Ichiban Boshi Novena Square again, just say 'Hi' to the head chef at the kaiten. I'll let my husband know that you their sushi very much! :) 24 Apr 2008 at 11:20 pm
snowlightssaid: You may wanna check out their other outlets, do visit their website at http://www.res.com.sg/ 24 Apr 2008 at 11:22 pm
sylvdoanxsaid: your husband?? wow!! eh but ichiban sushi also offers some soba and set meal mah.. 25 Apr 2008 at 3:10 pm
angelinalimsaid: restaurant decor is nice! food is nice too.. their sashimi is fresh, especially Salmon sashimi..value for money.. visited there at least once a month. thumb up! ^^ 23 Jun 2008 at 6:11 am
This small and humble pizza/pasta restaurant has a big dream! (I guess)
They serve pizza and pasta, but not regular pizza and pasta. They have numerous unique sauces. Their signature is called Mad Sauce (well.. I think it's just ordinary tomato sauce though...). They have rendang as one of the ingredients in pizza, if I'm not wrong. Well you can always go to their website to see their current menu.
The food is prepared fresh from the oven. Literally. The kitchen is at the middle, surrounded by the tables. You can always see the chefs at work. And you can see the ovens too! Hahaha. Their waiters/waitresses are quite friendly; they can even suggest you some food based on your favourite (they will ask questions like "Do you like beef? Or chicken? Do you like creamy or a bit oily?").
Oh they also have live music. It's a one-man band. He sings retro songs. Oh and sometimes the owner of the restaurant sings too!
However, I think the price is too high. It's like 10 dollars on average. Yes the food is nice, but I still think it's too highly-priced, particularly when you just have such a small place (which leads to the logic that the rent shouldn't be that expensive, right?). They're currently expanding though. Maybe that explains.
Had this place priced their food cheaper, I would have gone here everyday. It's so near to my home! (no prize for guessing where I live)
claudsaid: Looking at their set menus, price quite reasonable mah. Thanks for the review. Might drop by there to check it out one day. :) 20 Apr 2008 at 12:10 am
sylvdoanxsaid: it's quite reasonable if it's a decent restaurant. it's not that it's not decent, it's just so small and home-like. i think price is too high for a style like that. 21 Apr 2008 at 2:48 am
sylvdoanxsaid: oh if you ever come by do give me a call. i live just behind this place! 21 Apr 2008 at 2:50 am
