Located conveniently within Gastro+ in Centrepoint, it is a value-for-money Japanese restaurant opened by a Singaporean who is enthusiastic about Japanese food and culture. The food at Misato are generally well executed with on-point flavours. Personally, I will recommend their Seafood Kaminabe Set, Cha Soba and Tonkatsu Set. While not the best out there, they are definitely way above average and worth it for the price. For desserts, just order as you wish- you won't go wrong with any of them!
