    📍ISHIRAKU IZAKAYA, BATU PAHAT JOHOR Authentic Japanese Restaurant in BP city centre. Overall food was great with fresh and generous portions to fill up your huge appetite. Kindly make a reservation before paying a visit as they are always fully booked. PS: Be sure not to come when you’re already hungry as food might take a while to be served. 📸 thekulotjourney ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #thekulotjourney #justme #foodie #sankofa #asianfood #japanesefood #japan #sushi #sashimi #unagi #japanesecuisine #asiancuisine #sushi #salmon #itadakimasu #batupahat #johorfoodie #johor #izakaya

    The food was good but on my first set of Tofu there was a HAIR! So I had to send it back. The service was absolutely insanely slow. I ordered for a beer but it hasn’t arrived by the time I’ve finished eating so cancelled it. Good wifi too. Feel like over 50% of everything on the menu was sold out also. Why even have it there then ?? Not my own hair, I’m blonde 😄 If service was faster and no hair and I could order what I wanted would give it 5 stars…..

    Excellent sashimi here. Pricy but definitely worth the price as the portion is big. Best Jap restaurant in Batu Pahat.

    Firstly, taste of the foods here is absolutely disappointing and inedible for me. I have never tasted any ramen worse than this before. The basis of the dish, the soup and noodles are tasteless and horrendous. It was only spicy and oily. The meat, seaweed and toppings are surprisingly tasteless and awful as well. Next, the salmon is not fresh and the consistency is off. Environment, seats and atmosphere is alright along with adequate level of service. Parking was easy to locate, so was the shop. In short, it has been a waste of time and money. An upsetting and letdown experience unfortunately.

    The food is getting worse. Also, the service is bad . Even though there is hardly anyone, it took them more than 50 minutes to serve a plate of fried rice. The price is unreasonable too.

    The waiter spilled a whole bowl of leftover soup and noodles on us without apologizing, some more they chanted “heng ah, 碗没有破”, no apologies afterwards from the cashier as well even though he witnessed the whole incident, the food is not very fresh as well, overprice for the overall experience, mostly the mannerisms of the staff which makes the whole dining experience awful.

    Not even one waiter or waitress came to attend us upon our arrival, had to wait for a super long while. One of the Chinese looking waitress saw me a few times but pretended not to see me, is it so difficult to just attend your customer for a while? Just to remind you that food and beverage industry is a service-based economic sector, poor service attitude.

    The menu is quite extensive for a Japanese restaurant in Batu Pahat, which traditionally is famous for its local hawker food. It shows the Chef has the knowledge and skills to delivered a quality plates as in the photos. The Chef whom I believe has learnt his craft from a fine Japanese restaurant. The Nigiri is finely shape and the rice just perfect. Soft shell crab is crispy, Tempura Ebi is super crunchy, the okonomiyaki is acceptable. I asked for a Hamachi and salmon belly shashimi plate, though I can tell it is frozen Hamachi, it is still quite good. The salmon is fresh. The service staff although friendly and helpful, lack awareness and alerts. Can't expect too much in a small town, I suppose.

    The meals not enough hot, not even warm enough. Restaurant not enough staff, wait too long times. This price serve this meal and service, I think management need self-criticize. Strongly not recommend due to this poor experience.

  • 4/5 Cheewee K. 3 years ago on Google
    26 Nov 2020. Birthday event and we ordered some fish from air-flown items. One of the fish (did not ask the name but kind of seasonal fish), chef recommended half sashimi and half grill, taste good. Overall food maintain it's standard.

    Food waiting over one hour. Asking for over three times. The boss is insincerely to come and settle the problem for customer. He dare replied us the kitchen missed out the order. What type of service ?! 🤔

  • 5/5 KYO T. 4 months ago on Google
    Visited Batu Pahat for my event function, unbelievable to discover an authentic Japanese Restaurant here. Food Very Fresh & Tasty with very reasonable price, Staff explain and guide patiently to choose those Japanese Sake to me in detailing about how the fragrance how the taste for the Sake. Recommend for friends who visit Batu Pahat take an opportunity to try. ❤️❤️

  • 4/5 Jonathan W. 4 years ago on Google
    The best Japanese food in Batu area for sure. You have to visit the restaurant at the correct timing, and request the boss to make your sushi. If the boss is not around, the food quality can drop significantly. The boss is a nice person. His sushi and sashimi is definitely Japan standard.

  • 4/5 Eyleen C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Squid sashimi is fresh, there is no hard-to-bite ribs~ The squid squid seasoning is also great~ The seasoning of vinegar rice can be further strengthened, and the rice is not cold enough, so the sashimi will soon reach normal temperature. The rest of the food is good. (Original) 鮭魚生魚片新鮮,沒有難咬的筋~ 炙燒鮭魚調味也很棒~ 醋飯的調味可以再加強,而且飯不夠冷,所以生魚片很快就到常溫。 其餘食物都不錯。
