Clarke Quay

Operated by Ebisu's Singaporean favourite Sin Tong Kee, this flashy new joint may be found smack in the middle of Otemachi's office building wasteland – inside the uber-sterile Grand Cube building, to boot – but should not be discounted if you're looking for quality grub from the Lion City. Borrowing the name of a super-popular, refurbished riverside development of old warehouses that consists almost exclusively of bars and restaurants, Clarke Quay serves up amply seasoned and aromatic grub that ranges from mud crab and chicken rice to shark fin soup. The ¥800 chicken rice lunch box is a great deal, and one that's best combined with a cold Tiger beer (not on workdays, of course...).
