Friendly staff and chef. Gave us a surprise birthday treat too. Overall good quality and worth a visit. But taste was a little bland for the beef (perhaps because previously was ? too salty - based on other older Google reviews).

Japanese restaurant at CHIJMES serving traditional kushiyaki skewers and sake in a charming setting.
Tatsu at CHIJMES is a Japanese restaurant that specialises in kushiyaki, the art of grilling skewered meats and vegetables over charcoal, served alongside a carefully curated sake selection. The menu features an array of yakitori skewers, from classic chicken thigh and pork belly to more adventurous cuts such as chicken heart and cartilage, each seasoned with either salt or tare glaze. Beyond skewers, Tatsu offers small plates including sashimi, agedashi tofu, and chawanmushi, designed to complement the drinks menu. The restaurant occupies a charming space within the historic CHIJMES complex, where colonial-era architecture provides an atmospheric backdrop for an evening of grilled food and sake. Tatsu's approach is rooted in the Japanese izakaya tradition, where food and drink are enjoyed at a leisurely pace in good company. It is a destination for those who appreciate the nuanced flavours of charcoal-grilled skewers and the convivial, unhurried pace of izakaya dining.Based on 466 Google reviews
