Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Daya Izakaya Japanese presents itself as a family-friendly spot with a wide variety of Japanese dishes, from sushi and sashimi to fried rice and tempura.

Reviews suggest a mixed bag, with some praising the fresh ingredients and affordability, particularly the fried rice and tempura.

The ambiance is noted as quiet, which can be a plus for peaceful dinners.

However, service appears to be a significant point of contention.

Multiple accounts detail issues ranging from forgotten orders and long waits for food to inattentive and unhelpful staff, leading to a perception of poor customer service.

While some find the food acceptable, others describe sushi portions as small and overpriced, with dishes like soba being bland.

The restaurant seems to have undergone a revamp, with one reviewer highlighting a refreshed space and expanded menu, making it suitable for gatherings.

We think it's best to manage expectations regarding service, but the food can be decent for a casual meal.

Best for those in the Sengkang area looking for a quiet dinner, but be prepared for potential service inconsistencies.
