Kaiden Japas Restaurant & Lounge Bar

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 I'm here again because they had changed their menu. Their sashimi is as fresh as always 👍🏻 As for now their seafood green curry ramen is my favourite! The creamy green curry soup is flavourful and not greasy.

Kazumasa Japanese Restaurant

Japanese restaurant

😠 Average meal, very disappointed. Won’t come back. Not worth the price at all. None of us really enjoyed unfortunately. I have had much much better (and bigger pieces) omakase with cheaper price. Even upgraded the hot dish to A5 Miyazaki, the beef was bland. Had bones in the cod fish (hot dish), ridi...

Sushi YA | Kulim | Kulim Landmark Central

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Food portion was satisfied for me who like to eat a lot. Good service from the waiter and robot. Affordable price to eat because the portion quite big. Recommend to come here to enjoy sushi food. Will repeat again. Sushi Ya Kulim Outlet is Halal so no need to worry for muslim people.

IPPUDO Gurney Plaza

Ramen restaurant

👍👍 Came for lunch at 11.30am on a Saturday. Just about made it and got a table before the lunch crowd came in 5 mins later. On Service - hats off to Khai. Very attentive and pro-active with my 2 toddlers. For food, taste and quality is superb, though a bit pricey. Nice environment.

Sushi YA Raja Uda | Penang

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 I still think this is the best takeaway sushi you can get in this area. Don't compare with sit in and specialised Japanese restaurant of course. The rating is compared with similarly themed Japanese food. The food is well flavored, the amount is generous and when you do a takeaway, the packaging is...

Restoran Sushi Kappo Miyasaka

Japanese restaurant

👍 Authentic Japanese cuisine in a comfy albeit slightly dated Japanese restaurant setting. Sashimi is currently limited to Friday and Saturday. The chef is a true blue Japanese gentleman, and has been operating this place for decades. Service is decent and the food tastes spectacular. Highly recommen...

Tonkatsu Akinai

Tonkatsu restaurant

👍👍 Queue for 1 hour+ from 5.54PM, it was full house. And as stated, they just resume their business after break starting 6PM. Definitely worth to queue if you're patient enough or not yet starving~ The Best Tonkatsu I ever ate in Malaysia!! Environment is clean and nice, food is serve hot and big port...

ITTAN Izakaya Icon City

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Went there on a Sunday afternoon, 1pm and plenty of seats were available, service crews were attentive and polite.

Sushi YA Jelutong | Straits Garden | Penang

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 There was a vast assortment of dishes available. The salad was generously portioned, and the sauce was exceptional. The amusing robot singing entertaining songs added to the experience 🤖 I was extremely satiated 🤤

Fuku Eatery & Dessert

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Fantastic rest point for filter coffee and a tasty sweet treat. Crème brûlée was a hot cold sublime meeting point and the Ethiopian filter on offer hits the mark. The venue channels some great spiritual energy airways and that special Japanese aesthetic. Situated in a beautiful shop where you can gr...

Aji Noren 味暖簾

Japanese restaurant

😠 This is by far one of the worst Japanese restaurant that I ever went. Maybe it shouldn’t be labeled as a Japanese restaurant 🙄 The salmon that I had were frozen and the Unagi was not fresh (super fishy taste)! Ordered the salmon sashimi for almost Rm40 but there’s BONE inside the sashimi???? Is ok...

Kirishima Japanese Restaurant

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 The restaurant looks a bit aged as it has been around for more than 20 years. Apart from that, the service and food is of top quality. The Japanese boss often makes her round to make sure her customers are well served. If you want a taste of Japanese at affordable price, this is the place to go.

Sushi Zento Precinct 10

Japanese restaurant

😠 This is a bowl of braised buta kakuni. It is supposed to be pork belly as advertised but what I got was shoulder cut which is tough and lean. Taste wise it is just run of the mill but I can't help but feel like a sort of deception on their part. It comes with a side of miso soup that is just passsbl...

Sumida Japanese Restaurant

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Their chicken dishes are good. Teriyaki chicken, Tori karaage, teppanyaki chicken are all very delicious. As for the seafood, saba shio and unagi are fresh and tasty, but unagi is a tad too sweet for us. Salmon is too thin. Tempura prawn and squid shio is okay. Fried mixed vegetables are better th...
