For diners eager to whet their appetite with a round of drinks, the Sake bar and lounge next to the entrance feature a mind-boggling collection of rare sakes to cater to the pickiest of sake aficionados.
The main dining space features an assortment of seating catering to all types of occasions. For guests keen to watch their food being prepared by the restaurant’s award-winning culinary team, a bar seat by the open kitchen is recommended. A glass showcase features the freshest air-flown produce meticulously sourced from the restaurant’s trusted suppliers.

Yoshi Izakaya’s menu is masterminded by Executive Chef Tomoaki Ito. A veteran of acclaimed kitchens all over Japan and Asia, Executive Chef Tomoaki believes in crafting Japanese dishes that suit local tastes.
For starters, the mixed kinoko foilyaki soup comes highly recommended. Five kinds of mushrooms are broiled with homemade bonito soup and wrapped in aluminium foil. The karei karaage is a must-try item. Flatfish is prepared karaage style and served with ponzu sauce. For mains, the Japanese Ohmi Beef is well-marbled, flavorsome and tender. Choose from either Teppanyaki or Robbatayaki and have it cooked to perfection.
