Kyomomoyama's menu is quite extensive with a wide range of sashimi, sushi, and other Japanese food staples, with reasonably priced set meals. The sashimi salad ($10.80) was surprisingly yummy especially with the generous serving of fresh assorted sashimi topped off with a light wasabi-mayonnaise dressing. The maguro yamakake don ($18.80) was gobsmackingly good, with tuna so fresh it could have been swimming in the kitchen right before being served to us. With the yummy and fresh food at this joint, not to mention the very good service, we'll be visiting Kyomomoyama again very soon. #03-87/100/101/110 The Central, 6 Eu Tong Sen St, 6534-8001.
