Gekkazan (used to be known as Kenzan) is a nice little Japanese restaurants at GPO. To be honest, I haven't visited this restaurant after they changed its name. That was so long ago! During my visit to Mama's Buoi, I saw nice Donburi being served at Gekkazan and thus, I decided to return to Gekkazan on the following weekend.
Well, Gekkazan hasn't changed much other than its name. They still offer many varieties of sushi rolls as well as noodles and rice dishes to be ordered from the counter. They seemed to have more choices on their menu now. We ordered a grilled salmon Donburi, a unagi Donburi and a bento box. It is $14.90 for each Donburi and $18 for the bento box.
The salmon Donburi was nicely presented in a wooden rice bucket. In the bucket, there were salmon, rice, salad veggies as well as a few small side dishes like croquette, mini roasted potato and sushi. The salmon was slightly over cooked but overall the Donburi was quite satisfying.
Similar to the salmon Donburi, the unagi Donburi came with the exact same sides. The unagi was tender and tasty. However, there were only 3 small slices of unagi.
The bento box came with a good variety of small dishes such as edamame, sashimi, potato mayo salad, sushi, noodles, tonkatsu (fried pork), tempura mushroom etc. All the dishes were quite standard but nice. The only interesting dish was a sushi look alike tuna sandwich. It was actually tuna mayo sandwiched by two small slices of bread with a strip of seaweed wrapped around the center. I was quite happy with my bento box. However, I reckon that the salmon Donburi is the most good value for money among the three.
It's good to see that Gekkazan is still as good as before if not better. I will return for more Donburi soon!
