Our take: Shifudo presents itself as a hidden gem for authentic Japanese cuisine in Hougang, with a Google rating of 4.5/5 from 286 reviews.
We see consistent praise for the freshness of their sashimi, particularly the Salmon Belly Sashimi ($16 for 5pcs), described as thick and fresh.
The Iberico and salmon set meals are noted for being comprehensive, including sashimi, chawanmushi, and fried chicken.
Service is generally highlighted as attentive and accommodating, with one instance of a full set replacement for a rough Iberico piece.
However, there are conflicting views on value.
While some find the food quality worthwhile, others express disappointment with the pricing, citing items like the $30 chirashi don as sparse and overpriced, or the $8.50 buta buta miso as thin and tasteless.
The crunchy unagi kabayaki ($26) and salmon oyako roll ($25) receive positive mentions.
We'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours, specifically Monday to Thursday from 5pm to 9:30pm, and making a reservation for weekday evenings due to limited seating.
Best for those prioritising fresh sashimi and willing to navigate a menu with some inconsistent value propositions.

Visited because of the good reviews but was pretty disappointed with the food, esp at this price point. I ordered this chirashi don at $30 and I got to say, this is the saddest chirashi don I’ve seen.…
