Went here for a friend’s birthday. I’m not usually in this part o’ town, but fortunately we were able to get parking in a street just off Military Road.
This kinda looks like two places — Jugemu, and Shimbashi. There are two separate openings, but it’s the same place. One place focuses on teppanyaki while the other on udon and soba, but you can order from both places. The waitress informed us that because of the nature of the restaurant, she couldn’t really control whether the food would come out the same time, which was fine by us.
I ordered:
— Nabeyaki udon — udon noodles with hot pot of chicken, boiled veges, runny egg & prawn tempura
— Yuzushu — if you’re Filipino, this tastes exactly like dalandan juice
We shared:
— Genki-​dama Okonomiyaki — wagyu beef slices & garlic topped with shallots &apm; garlic chips
— Sashimi platter
— Asparagus wrapped with pork belly
Everything was good, but the standout of the night for me was the okonomiyaki.
The place is a wee bit pricy, I paid $ 46 for my mail (granted, it includes a drink and shared food.)

After walking by this place for ages, we finally stopped in. This presents itself as 2 restaurants with 2 different types of Japanese food. Separate entrances but combined in the back and you can get either menu on either side. This makes for some great variety!
The restaurant encourages sharing and that we did. They bring things in whatever order works so prepared to be flexible to that.
From the Jugemu menu we had the crispy rice balls. They were exactly what I was hoping they would be, but bigger. Two sticky rice patties (best description I can offer) dripped in a yummy spicy soy sauce.
From the Shimbashi menu we had Spinach Gomae which I love (wilted spinach with a sesame dressing) and the Double Salmon Roll (8 pieces, seared salmon on the top). Lastly, we ordered the Curry Noodles with chicken. They nicely split it up into 2 bowls with me and my friend (as we weren’t really sure how we were going to share).
The wait staff was very helpful in helping us to navigate the menu and learn about the dishes. Would definitely go again.

One of the better Japanese restaurants in the NB/​C/​M area with a good concept going with its hibachi/​other stuff duality. We have a large family so we were placed in their private room which was nice. Seating is Japanese traditional low rise tables with the pit in the floor wells for your feet. Nice décor. Waitstaff is actually Japanese which is not always the case. I like that as I can use my 4 words of Japanese with them! Décor and staff all high marks.
Food was a bit more of a mixed bag. Gyoza, sushi and noodle dishes were excellent. The okonomiyaki was not that great, mostly because it was over laden with Mayo and BBQ sauce.
In sum, we’ll go back, but be more careful in our ordering.

I decide to come here since I saw lots of positive reviews, which relatively to food, service and atmosphere in the restaurant. This place, indeed, made me feel really japanese after visiting lots of japanese place, which owns by korean people. The atmosphere, service and food are fabulous with reasonable price. They provides high quality of food with great authentic japanese taste, especially cold Soba noodles and snow fish.
I and my friend have never been there before, so the staffs tried to educate us how to eat Soba and Okonomiyaki, also we were very-​well taken care by the guy who looked like supervisor with lots of advice in the wide range of food, deserts and beverages.
Deserts are lovely, but can’t remember what it’s called. Also, choices of wines and Sake are quite nice. As a result of the lovely 3 full course meal for 2 persons, the bill came at $ 100, which is acceptable for me with the quantity, quality and service.

I’ve been to Japan so I know everything about Japanese food. In my expert opinion this place sells very good Japanese food. Or as the Japanese say, tres bene.

After spending nice & relaxing Sunday afternoon at Fire Fly Bar nearby to enjoy wines, I came here with a friend to add some food to finish a day.
I initially thought of ramen for 5 sec, but then we agreed it’s healthier and easy on stomach if we do soba instead. We both ordered draft beer — ‘Orion’ beer which is from Okinawa, and seiro soba (plain soba).
The soba noodles were perfectly cooked, and I enjoyed the taste + texture. The dipping sauce was good, too and we finished to drink the sauce after adding hot water which was used to boil soba noodles. It was light, but good snack to satisfy my appetite.

Ju Ge Mu and Shimbashi combines two themes within this restaurant, one side caters for Okonomi-​yaki (Japanese Pancake) and Teppenyaki (iron griddle). The other side caters for Shimbashi (the soba noodle). Patrons can order from either side no matter where you sit.
According to our sources Soba noodles are made from buckwheat and are the most difficult to make as they can break easy. We commence our meal with an order of Soba noodle chips, they have perfect texture with crispiness accompanied with a surprising soft sashimi and avocado dip.
Then follows a trout carpaccio which is exceptional in presentation as it is in taste and quality. The Okonomi-​yaki (Japanese cake) reminds me of a giant cookie from New Zealand called Squiggle Pops with its criss cross sauce and dancing benito (dried fish flakes that move when they are near heat) filled with prawns, calamari and pork belly. The grand finale is the Soba noodle in broth with duck breast, its divine warm broth is full with fragrant flavour and disappointed I agreed to share with my partner.
We complete this amazing meal with sesame and green tea ice cream, red bean paste and dumplings. Vibrant in colour and indescribable in flavour another meal worthy of an award has been had at this wonderful Japanese local.
