The nine-year-old hawker stall was founded by a chef, known as Lim, who used to work in a Japanese restaurant.
According to an interview conducted when the stall moved from Tanjong Pagar to Chinatown in 2013, Lim already had eight years of experience in making Japanese cuisine then.
The caveat, though, is that it wasn't specified which restaurant Lim used to work at.
Located at the second level of Chinatown Complex Food Centre, the eye-catching storefront features bright yellow themed decorations.

We had the Unagi Rice Set, which came with a large and tender unagi that was also very flavourful.

The dish itself was quite no-frills -- rice with sesame seeds, and a generous bed of shredded lettuce and pickled vegetables -- but still satisfying.
Having been in the business for a while, Kazan Japanese Cuisine has also gained quite a number of positive reviews for its quality, portion sizes and affordability.

However, one feedback was that the menu consisted mostly of fried items, and the diner noted that there could have been more variety for non-fried food.
