A couple of doors down from Kanada Ya on Panton Street is Machiya – the younger sister restaurant from the same team. Instead of ramen, they serve up a wider menu of homestyle Japanese classics in their signature affordable and reliable style. After a turn through the comforting rice dishes, tonkatsu and warming curry, make sure you spend time with the desserts, particularly the matcha mille crêpe or matcha fondant cake with black sesame soft serve.
To prolong your visit, head downstairs to the bar for a kirin, or a glass of sake.
