Since we got a really great room at Ritz Carlton to celebrate Christmas Eve, we decided we wanted to have a great dinner too. But every decent restaurant in the vicinity were fully booked, hence we were left with Waraku as our last choice.

Service was really not worth mentioning.... When we called to book the restaurant, the person who answered was far from friendly and only allowed table booking latest 7pm. You gotta walk in and try your luck if u decide to come after 7pm.

Staff greeting us at the entrance were enthusiatic but thats all... Gave us only 1 menu for a table of 4 people and stared at us blankly when we asked for extra menus... didnt clear our table even when desserts was being served..Couldnt answer our questions about the menu etc.... Basically service was really slow, but I guess we shouldnt complain much since it was Christmas Eve.

The variety of food was great, had a hard time deciding what to eat. We tried the Gindara Teriyaki, Unagi Futomaki, Sakura set (Scallop Udon in cream sauce and Salmon roe with egg on rice), Unagi Kabayaki, Salmon Sashimi, Uni Sashimi, Umeshiso Bukkake (Cold Soba with plum and seaweed), Crab Seiro (Steam crab with vegetables) and Hokkai Don (Salmon and Squid on Rice)..... yeah we ate alot.. lol

Food was so so, not fantastic but not lousy either... Worth mentioning are probably the Uni Sashimi, Sakura set. Uni was quite fresh and sweet. The Sakura set was quite impressive since the bowl was so huge. haha. Udon was quite chewy nice in the cream sauce, probably gotta add some chilli powder since sauce was quite bland.

Unagi Kabayaki ($16.80)

Uni Sashimi ($28.00)

Sakura Set ($18.80)

Crab Seiro ($12.80)

Hokkai Don ($15.00)

Umeshiro Bukkake ($9.80)

Unagi Futomaki ($9.80)

Overall this meal wasn't memorable and not really good. But might consider trying another outlet a few months or many months later.
