We visited this family-friendly restaurant at Downtown East recently. Just Acia in Pasir Ris is a restaurant that I visited for the first time.

I tried the Teriyaki Chicken set meal at Just Acia, Pasir Ris branch as I liked Teriyaki chicken and that would serve as a comparison to the same dish that I've tried in other restaurants in Pasir Ris and elsewhere in Singapore.

Just Acia, Pasir Ris branch Teriyaki chicken set came in a big plate with golden strips of deep fried chicken coated with a glossy layer of teriyaki sauce. Besides the teriyaki chicken, it came with miso soup, plain rice (not Japanese grained) and a bowl of kim chee.

I liked Just Acia's (Pasir Ris branch) chicken as the seasoning was pretty sweet, with the meat in a firm yet not rubbery texture. The coating on the chicken was just about crunchy even though it appeared a little thicker than dishes served elsewhere.

Besides the main set, at Just Acia Pasir Ris branch, you get to drink an unlimited serving of a wide selection of drinks. There is also a self-service free-flow of ice-cream included in the price.

While the dish is not the best I have tasted, considering the size of meat served, together with other dishes in the set meal, plus the unlimited drinks and ice-cream all in one price, it is definitely value for money.

Recommendation for Just Acia teriyaki chicken:
Score: 7 out of 10.
Price $9.90 per set.
