Brought Alvin to try the raved sashimi at West Coast Plaza after colleague S had brought me for my birthday treat. The sashimi is super fresh.
It has a interesting concept that the front part of the shop is a shop front selling Japanese food stuff. Any Japanese food, ingredients, snacks that you want to find, you are most likely to find it here.
You will see somewhere in the middle of the shop there is a counter with packages of different portions and variety of fish. Its just like buying sliced fish from supermarket. It is individually placed in a Styrofoam plate and cling wrapped tagged with price on it. You can then choose whichever variety of fish you like and within your budget and pass over to the service staff and let them know whether you want to dine in or takeaway. It's as simple as buying fish in supermarkets. The fish had cuts from different areas like the tail part etc. The fats distribution of the fish are also different. So you just choose those you like best.

It is really fresh. Alvin commented that it's my fault to bring him to taste such a wonderful sashimi that the other sashimi he tasted is not comparable to this and he don't eats them anymore. (But btw, Sun with Moon sashimi is the closest to this we can get but price wise, Sakuraya is better).
Tried their udon soup. Its nice too! Alvin had sashimi mixed rice bowl which is not bad either.
I guess the only minus point about this place is that it is not really accessible. It is not located near any MRT at all. The best way is to drive. Else you got to take at least 1 bus from MRT to reach here. There is a shuttle bus service provided too.
