Our fourth and final stop of the tour - Waraku, a casual Japanese dining joint with quite a few outlets in the eastern and central parts of Singapore.
Located on the 3rd floor of Central just further down from Wakashachiya, Waraku seems to be rather popular with Singaporeans judging from the long queues that form during meal times at alot of their outlets and the relatively good comments online. The interior at this particular outlet was decked out in shades of white and brown with wood featuring prominently in the decor. As with most of the other restaurants at Central, the window seats look out into the picturesque clarke quay for a more enjoyable dining experience.
California Ura Maki - Uramaki differs from other types of maki(rolled sushi) in that the rice is on the outside and the nori(layered sheets of seaweed) on the inside. Preparation methods aside, the california maki barely made it past the average mark. The rice was a little too dry and loose and the copious amounts of roe did nothing to enhance the taste, preferring to remain as decorative pieces.
Sashimi 5 Kinds - The huge platter of sashimi came with prawns, salmon, tuna, squid and yellow tail served atop a bed of ice and garnished with leaves and flowers to up the visual appeal. I don't know if the standard for sashimi is consistent throughout all the Waraku outlets but the sashimi at this particular outlet was bad. Nothing was fresh and I kid you not, I spit out the prawn and salmon as soon as I took the first bite. Maybe I'm just being picky and overreacting but it happens that I'm very sensitive to seafood which aren't fresh. But I wasn't the only one. Most of the sashimi was left untouched save for the polite gesture of a few pieces.

Initially my hubby and I wanted to dine at Wakashachiya, but happened to see queue formed at Waraku Japanese casual dining restaurant, we decided to join in the queue.
The servings for noodles and don(rice) come in 2 sizes - Medium and Regular. If you're a small eater, choose Medium, otherwise you can choose Regular for a big serving.
We ordered Unatama Don (medium size - $10.80), Yasai Curry Udon (medium size - $8.80) and Crab Miso Nabe - $12.80. Their service is super fast. Within 10 minutes, 3 dishes were served. (I was amazed by their fast speed as the restaurant was super crowded & busy)
I gave them 5 stars for their fast service, but the food did not meet my expectations. The unagi was too soft and the sweet sauce was very bland. The udon has a "Q" texture but curry tasted too sweet. Lastly, the crab nabe was super salty. The whole soup is dark brown colour. Fortunately we ordered the medium size.
The prices are quite reasonable - for the fast service and nice ambiance. However, it is not a place for fussy eater, keke

Dine there this past Monday to celebrate a friend's birthday.
The rest ordered various items from the menu, I didn't check with them whether their order was nice.
Anyway, I ordered Teriyaki Chicken don, the medium size, indeed it was very small but luckily I not a big eater and it's enough for me. Anyway, the photo looked very impressive but the served food wasn't as good as the photo!
I ordered hot green tea, it was not served. Tried to ordered iced green tea, also not served. Tried to order hot green tea, the manager checked the order and brought 2 hot green tea instead!!
