We had a delicious luncheon after church, paired with a $2 unlimited-refill green tea! Amazing! Thanks!

Truffle Buta Don ($14.90++) came with abundant truffle paste (super fragrant!) and the loveliest onsen egg, which I mixed into the soft pearl rice for a creamy texture 💛. The pork loin slices were tender but a tad too salty 😥. Shimeji mushrooms were juicy and delicious!
I would appreciate it if they served free water because I was craving water so badly after the salty pork 🥲.

Lovely to eat here again, this time with parents. Served with pleasure by Ms. Marron. I vote for Junction 8's Aburi-EN!
I had the Shogayaki Don (Pork Belly) and was delighted to see my favourite Okinawa Onsen Egg, which allowed me to spread its yolky goodness all over my rice bowl.
My parents had the Teppan Beef Steak with Wafu Onion Sauce, and Salmon Mentaiko Don (with the Mentaiko sauce served separately upon request).
Refillable Hot Green Tea for my dad and Iced Green Tea for me. Servers dutifully and promptly refilled our cups.
And finally, Kurogoma (Black Sesame), Matcha, and a complimentary Vanilla ice cream (for completing this review). They all had a very clean taste, with no discomfort after.
All in all, a splendid place.

Here's the edited review:
The ambience is lovely, with cute piggy lanterns, Japanese motifs, and the place is spacious. The waitress and servers provide excellent service and are very patient. The food is good. I ordered the wagyu don, which is a mix of Australian and Miyazaki beef, and it was smooth and tender. The chicken hotplate and onsen egg are perfect.

The pork loin rice bowl was okay; the meat was very tender. The pork belly bowl was the best; the meat was charred and smoky, and the saltiness was just right. Highly recommend. Their unagi was well presented and went well with the provided ‘real’ wasabi.

Their rice bowls are insanely good. The meats are cooked really well and the flavors are spot on. The teriyaki sauce on the chicken wasn't overly sweet, making it really enjoyable throughout the meal. The pork is soft and has a good amount of fat, so it's tasty as well. Service needs a bit of a facelift though. Luckily, the good food made up for it.

Atmosphere is great. Food is great. The only minor issue was that the cherry in the drinks didn't look fresh. The manager was prompt in serving a complimentary drink as a goodwill gesture. Great service.

Had an excellent dinner there! Aburi en never fails to meet our expectations. Wanted to get the kuro goma ice cream, but sadly it was not available.
Overall, a great place for a meal.

Had dinner here yesterday. The food is great. Don had a large amount of fluffy rice; the meat was very tender and juicy. The service is great. Everyone was friendly and quick. The website for ordering online sucks, though. It kept reloading, and each time we tried to order something, it crashed and glitched. Not too sure if it's a system problem or if the place where we were seated was a connection dead spot. Would highly recommend that you just order through the waiter instead.

I recently had dinner here, and it was a delightful experience. We ordered the premium buta don, hot stone beef, and squid, all of which were fantastic. The hot stone beef, in particular, stood out for its juiciness and tenderness.
We also took advantage of their 1-for-1 mocktail offer, which was a great value and complemented our meal beautifully. The ambience of the restaurant was lively, as it was quite busy, but our server maintained a friendly demeanor throughout the evening, which added to the overall positive experience.
One suggestion would be to provide Wi-Fi for diners, especially since they **use** a scan-to-order QR code system. This would enhance convenience and make ordering easier.
