Nice Japanese bbq, the ramen soup and fried noodles are good. However the grill salmon a bit dry. Staffs are friendly. Also given you option to grill for you OR you can grill the meats by yourself. Salt and chili flakes given upon request.
Delicious BBQ meats at an affordable price and good portion size. We enjoy dipping the meat slices in the sauce provided before grilling them as this gives the meat a nice char and prevents it from sticking to the grill.
Wasn't quite as tasty as I remembered from a few years back, however ingredients were still of very high quality and gyozas were still good! Would go again and try something else! Asazuke, 3 plates of beef, a fried rice lunch set and a plate of 6 gyozas cost us RM174. Service is good but I think many of the old Japanese staff were no longer there :(
It’s a very good Japanese restaurant we can enjoy fresh lever, whale meat, horse meat with one litter big mug draft beer
Friendly staff and good food at this Japanese restaurant. Try the 3 BBQ meat platter (3 different meats - 300 g) for RM 54, the value for money lunch sets Cozy seating and an all-round good experience. Definitely worth revisiting
Had the spicy beef soup with rice on a cold rainy day. Absolute best decision ever… beef was very fresh, tender and not overcooked. They prepared the soup in egg drop style, veggie was yummy! Overall enjoyed the meal, service was prompt and attentive. They provided kids cutlery without asking. Restaurant wasnt crowded on this rainy day, what a gem of a find!
Nice ambience. Seem like you are in Japan. Fresh ingredients served. We opted for self grilling. Meat was very juicy and prices are reasonable for 2 pax. Definitely will come back again.
Love their beef selections! Excellent foods with cozy environment, friendly staffs and reasonable price.
