We also tried a beancurd stuffed with minced prawn (RM10) during one of our visits. A rather unusual dish but somewhat mediocre in my opinion.
Now what’s not mediocre is the Hiyashi Chuka (RM20) – a cold ramen noodle dish served with various vegetables, eggs, meat and served with a vinegar sauce. Meant to be tossed all together before eating. Plus there is a lil heat from the mustard. I totally enjoyed this cold dish and it has now become one of my favourites in Sumida! The portion is rather big for me, so I usually share.
Hiyashi Chuka – tossed
My grandpa is a big fan of Beef Sukiyaki. So we always end up ordering it whenever we eat with him at a Japanese restaurant. Thankfully Sumida makes one of the better Sukiyakis around. The normal portion (RM55) served here is meant for 2 persons but if you’re not a big eater or planning to eat other dishes then the Sukiyaki can easily feed more than two.

Good review, I find the Hiyashi Chuka Ramen at Ichiban Boshi, served with strips of duck meat to be particularly good.

I really enjoyed the few visits to this restaurant – don’t understand why it doesn’t get the crowds like that ramen place in the next row. I remember the service being super attentive. Hiyashi Chuka’s my absolute favourite too!
the jap curry looks good neh~
