Along the unassuming stretch of Lor Kilat road, there is a haven of hidden cafés and restaurants, each one serving up delicious, quality fare. The latest restaurant to join the lot is Sakeshi, a Japanese eatery created by Goro Japanese Cuisine. Specialising in salmon-centric dishes, its trendy menu and niche concept immediately piqued our interest, and we decided to give it a try.
Upon walking in, it seemed that the newly opened restaurant had yet to build any momentum. However, we thought that its appealing menu had the potential to do well among the younger generation.
What immediately caught our attention was the internet sensation, Waterfall Salmon Yuzu Soba (S$50.80), a bowl of noodles made entirely of salmon sashimi. Although its price is steep, it’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime item that’s worth trying at least once.
The Compressed Watermelon (S$11.80), a yuzu ponzu-marinated watermelon topped with avocado, was also a novel item we’ve never seen anywhere else. If you’re a vegan looking for creative new recipes to try, this item is definitely for you.
We ordered the Salmon Ikura Don (S$21.80), Sirloin Beef Steak (S$34.80), and Chicken Katsu Curry Don (S$20.80). The Salmon Ikura Don was a classic that couldn’t go wrong, with high-quality salmon and ikura that tasted fresh and flavourful over a bed of fluffy Japanese rice.
The Sirloin Beef Steak was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a side of sauce, salt, garlic, and green onions that helped balance its richness.
The Chicken Katsu Curry Don was juicy and lightly breaded—crispy without being overly greasy. Poured atop the katsu, the curry was fragrant and complex, with hints of sweetness and spice, while a side of salad added a refreshing contrast to the otherwise hearty dish. Each dish also came with miso soup, which helped cleanse the palate between bites.
Overall, the quality of the dishes was definitely up to standard and appropriate for its slightly higher price point. Its menu, although limited, featured an appealing selection of dishes that were both innovative and popular.
The restaurant is currently running an opening promotion until 30 April 2026 that lets you join a free membership for S$2 off all items and a 1-for-1 Sakeshi Salmon Collagen Soup. The savoury broth was great value for money, filled with large, generous chunks of salmon, cooked perfectly with a tender pink centre.
Alongside the ongoing opening promotions, Sakeshi is definitely worth checking out, especially before the crowds start to catch on.
