Sakedokoro Eizaburo (Cuppage Plaza)

I came for the free-flow dinner course and was pleasantly surprised by the variety and freshness of the dishes. Love it when you can keep having free flow alcohol. Definitely worth it for alcohol lovers! My wife and I left feeling really satisfied!

A fantastic Japanese izakaya at reasonable prices. Xiao Hui provided excellent service—quick and friendly. Waitress so attentive for customer.The portions were just right, perfect for sharing. Every dish was cooked to perfection, and the ingredients were fresh! The taste was superb. It feels more like a bar here, with a minimum spend of two drinks, creating a lively atmosphere. However, the drinks are served in plastic cups. Highly recommended!

Came here in the past for their omakase buffet which was really good. Recently they converted to eizaburo izakaya which has another branch in fortune centre. The food was actually good quality but what disappointed was the plates and crockery used to serve. Food was served on canteen like metal plates, similar to the kind you might use to steam fish though effort was made to decorate the food for better presentation. We used lower quality disposable chopsticks and your average disposable plastic plates that you would find at an outdoor bbq. Even the soy sauce saucers were disposables. Beer and drinks glasses were plastic too, tho printed with the restaurant name. Not environmentally friendly? Each person must order 2 drinks minimum so that's 2 cups and not sure if they recycle it. The space is not large and can get very noisy. They play loud music which adds to the chaos, i was practically shouting to my friend when chatting. 90 min time limit is also super rushed if you are looking for a leisurely pace. I would think hard if i had to consider returning. They were much better overall back during the time of the omakase buffet. That said, food is good, felt super thirsty after so not sure which dish was the main culprit lol. They do have a dinner course with free flow drinks so check that out.

Came here with a friend for dinner and tried their free-flow drink set, which was $79++ on a Friday night. We arrived at 7:30pm sharp and were seated at the bar counter. The interior was simple, a bit like a casual Japanese izakaya, with limited seating. The staff explained clearly how to place orders and reminded us that each drink had to be finished before requesting another one—which I think is reasonable to avoid waste. We ordered the set and also added a few à la carte skewers. One disappointment was that all free-flow drinks were served in plastic cups, which felt a little underwhelming for those who enjoy drinking. For sake, however, we requested proper sake cups and the staff kindly provided them, so we could pour the sake ourselves. Some dishes took quite a while to arrive and we had to follow up a few times, likely because it was a busy night. Overall, the food was reasonably fresh and portions were adequate.

Very good affordable izakaya style japanese place. Plates are definitely for sharing and whole the portions aren't enormous, each dish is cooked well and fresh! Great tastes. Also more of a bar too as there's a 2 drink minimum to keep things lively. They come in plastic cups tho. Would recommend!

This casual yet refined izakaya w cosy sakedokoro vibes has this belief — drinks come first, but food’s never an afterthought. We tried their customisable dinner course & 90-mins free-flow alcohol for just $59++, and can pick from 1 starter, 1 sashimi platter, 3 yakitori, 1 fried dish AND 1 main (+ add-ons), all paired w free-flow highballs, umeshu, beer & sake. We had their Smashed Cucumber w Chilli Oil which was mildly spicy & savoury, just a bit salty toward the end. Mentaiko Cube w Mayo had a creative pollock roe cube with a hint of wasabi — light & refreshing. Tried their Sashimi Platter, where they have fresh seafood flown in from Toyosu — feast for the eyes & stomach. Added on Uni Sashimi (+$14.90) which was a GORGEOUS presentation of creamy, ocean-sweet sea urchin w crispy seaweed. Melting Cheesy Ham Cutlets were cheesy w good crunch, though I’d love a thicker cut. Chicken Nanban w Egg Tartar sauce comprised of tender fried chicken, just a tad soggy from the generous, delicious egg tartar :”) Had the following yakitoris and we loved them !! Had Mune (breast), Bonjiri (tail), Tebasaka (wing), Tebamoto (drumstick), Hatsu (heart) & Sunagimo (gizzard) — tender, well-marinated, & grilled over binchotan charcoal under the kemuri supervision. Ended with mains — Grilled Kurobuta Pork Loin Steak, which was tender & well-paired w vegs; decent but incomparable to the next main. Wagyu Diced Steak was melt-in-mouth, juicy & flavour-packed — this dish has me thinking about it for DAYS. Can’t forget their free-flow alcohol (it’s literally the highlight of this promo) — bottles imported monthly from Japan, & they don’t come diluted! My favourites: Yuzu Umeshu & Coke Highball. PRICES — • Mon–Thurs: $69++/pax • Fri, Sat & Holiday Eve: $79++/pax • Late Night (930-11pm): $59++/per pax
