Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Our take: Tanuki Raw at Orchard Central generally receives positive feedback for its Japanese fare, particularly the chirashi bowls and pork katsu.
We note recurring praise for the freshness of ingredients in the chirashi, with some finding the portion generous while others consider it rather small.
The giant pork tonkatsu, often served with Japanese curry, is consistently highlighted for being moist, well-fried, and generous in portion.
Lunch sets, priced around $12.90++, are seen as reasonably priced and offer good value, though availability of all options can be inconsistent early in the day.
Service is frequently described as polite and friendly, with food often arriving quickly.
However, we observe a significant outlier regarding service, specifically a complaint about a rigid 'no dine-in' policy despite an empty restaurant, leading to a very negative experience.
This suggests inconsistency in staff discretion or policy application.
We'd recommend Tanuki Raw for a reliable Japanese lunch, especially if you're looking for value in their sets or a substantial pork katsu.
Be prepared for potential menu item unavailability during off-peak times, and be mindful that service experiences can vary.
