Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Delicious!!! We had chicken salad. The dressing was good. Thechicken was well seasoned. The pork katsu curry was amazing too. Crispy outside and juicy inside. Staff is friendly. Cosy and nice dining environment. Totally enjoyed it!"
"Simple place with typical japanese food. The taste is up to the standard, could be better. Salad is fresh and the sauce is homemade. A little pricey tho."
"Nice cozy Japanese restaurant serving modern Japanese food. Not too much selection but the taste and quality is well controlled. Recommended!"
"New place. New environment. Great food as before. Chicken nanban is a must try. The fried spring roll stuffed with home made bacon is not to be missed. Parking is easier here right in front of the shop."
"Updated review: This is the first time I've dined in J-Garden ever since they moved from Bayan Bay to their new place in Belisa Row. I'm very happy to report that the taste of their pork hamburger steak with demi-glazed sauce is still as good as I remembered it. The seating area downstairs is quite limited with only 5 tables, but thankfully there's additional seating area on the 2nd floor accessible by the stairs at the back of the restaurant. The only improvement I would recommend is to hire an additional server as having one lone server manning tables on 2 floors as well a the cash register means diners are not getting the right amount of attention. Previous review (3 years ago): Japanese style western food and some classic rice dishes served in a lovely environment. Highly recommended for those looking for an evening out with a loved one or family. Quaint setting with limited seating. It is advisable to book upfront to avoid disappointment."
"Tried chashu don. Taste average, no wow feeling. Will try other dishes next time. The ambiance is great, layout design in aesthetic, quite suitable for dating haha. The staffs r attentive. Qr pay is accepted too."
"I had the Crispy Pork Chop, and it was fried perfectly—tender, tasty, and delicious. The cold Saba was also good; the texture of the noodles and the sauce were excellent. The service was friendly, and the environment was pleasant."
"J Garden, hidden along the road, you will missed it when you are drive pass fast. This is quite a old style japanese restaurants and the deco also seem like japanese style, old style. Katsudon is the famous dish offered here, it is average and not so juicy. The price is quite on the high side, anyway the environment is quite good , you could enjoy and relax."
