Providing excellent quality of set meals at an affordable price. Their specialty is in incorporating umami, the fifth taste in their culinary dishes.
Reasons to visit: Zen atmosphere, Japanese food, chicken hot pot, free flow of vegetables, no additives, in-house ponzu and Yuzu Kosyo, best Warabi-Mochi in town.
电梯旁就看到这超吸引人的酒吧!这是 The Tokyo Restaurant 的一部分。 这家餐厅以和风西餐(沙拉、日式咖喱、三文治、炸鸡排、牛排、新式寿司等)及酒吧为主,午餐单点价格介于 RM22~40 之间,算是比较经济的选择之一。晚餐菜单的价格比较贵些(没记错的话应该是 RM50 起),估计这是一家很适合放工后约见面的餐厅吧?这家餐厅是训练开放期间最受欢迎的一家,几乎每次经过都满座,所以我也还没尝试过,希望很快有机会来这里喝两杯,很好奇酒吧的部分会不会有什么日式特色鸡尾酒啊!
Service is slow, food is nice, price is above average. Value for money item would be Fried Chicken and Curry Rice. Cheese cake with cream is pretty good.
Overall, the high cost of the meal (RM268 for 2.5 diners) wasn’t matched by the quality of food, so I don’t think I am likely to return in the near future. On the other hand, if I could get away with just having three courses of dessert, I might change my mind.
YURI / Matcha 6th Avenue Cheesecake! Priced at RM21, this is exclusively made available at The Tokyo Restaurant, Isetan The Japan Store, Lot 10. We personally prefer this to the original now as it has the right balance of sweetness together with the matcha. So velvety smooth and tasty!
Special crafted dishes include the in-season hotaru ika (firefly squid). The accompanied Karasu miso sauce added a lovely layer of taste to the dish.
Reasons to visit: A truly authentic Japanese experience with excellent service. Steamed Amberjack cheeks, Scallop and Sea Urchin Nigiri Sushi and Salmon Roe Rolls. The Omakase menu is priced at RM420 with Sake pairing options (RM200 for 4 sakes).
There are 3 types of Omakase set which starts from RM120++ which is known as Koi, comes with 10 types of unique nigiri sushi. Next is Azabu Course @RM220++, 2 kinds of sashimi, chawanmushi, 7 pieces of nigiri sushi, makimono, palate freshener and a dessert. If you would like something premium, go for Chef's Specialty Course @RM420++. What will be given to you will be a complete surprise. I had Koi course on that day. It was really enough for a small appetite like me.
High-quality ingredients and first-class service, this is the first Japanese-style shabu-shabu and sukiyaki in Asia!
I’ve been to my fair share of shabu-shabu places in Malaysia – and I have to say that Mo-Mo Paradise’s beef slices are among the most best ones I’ve ever seen. The thickness was just right (some places serve you paper thin sheets which are practically falling apart lol) and there was a nice amount of lean and fat in each slice.
The special cuts meat is carefully sliced and kept in a strictly controlled temperature before serving to avoid contamination. The two kind of cuts of Sakura Pork you can try is the Pork Shoulder Loin - perfect for Sukiyaki while the Pork Belly tastes best in Shabu-Shabu.
The scallops arrived plump and piping hot, the tender white flesh encased in a thin, crisp breaded shell. The ‘skin’ peeled off rather easily so the scallop kept popping out – would have been great if I could have gotten the batter and scallop together in one bite for a nice blend of texture. They were served with a side of Japanese mayo and the subtle sweetness went great with rice. Could have easily polished off half a dozen but sadly you only get three lol.
Classic tonkatsu pork loin is the most perfect. Slight fatty yet you get the nice fragrant from pork oil and the the batter that they use makes it crips inside out, yet the meat is soft and juicy. Dip with their tonkatsu sauce is a perfect marriage.
Overall, it is a great place for a tonkatsu but with a price of almost RM50 for a meal is definitely not a meal that you can afford daily. I believe not many patrons able to refill as many rice as they can. Asians are not big eaters anyway.
整体来说我觉得这里的牛肉实在太棒,虽然价位有点高不过我肯定日后想吃牛扒的话一定会想到这里,那些连锁西餐厅卖的牛扒也不便宜不过味道跟口感和这里比是输了太多条街了!
If you're craving juicy yet good quality steaks, then this no-frills place for meat, cooked the Japanese way with simply just salt and black pepper, is definitely worth a visit. Although I won't go as far as to say that the steaks here are cheap since some of the wagyu beef can go as high as RM200, you can still find some very reasonably-priced and affordable Australian beef cuts for around RM25. So, go with what you think is within your budget. Besides a meat fest, there are plenty more food options here (like sushi, sashimi, tempura and bento) though I'll be more tempted by the lust of gorgeous meat more than anything else if I'm here again!
Isetan The Japan Store may appear like an expensive and posh shopping mall, but the Japanese food kiosks at the LG floor’s The Market are surprisingly affordable. If you are hankering for a juicy steak cooked Japanese way, you should definitely check out Tamaruya Meat Master.
The "とりもの Torimono & 鶏つくね Tsukun" sampled were each at rm$15 (2 skewers each), expensive but definitely very appetizing and tasty.
The rm$19.90 bowl of "奶油咖哩裡烏冬麵 Creamy Curry Udon" comes in WHITE color cream layered onto of a potato based curry with udon; as usual with every bite mellowing into the mouth. I think its quite vegetarian as likely there isn't any meat in it, did not mind to have tried it despite its high price.
Overwhelmingly affordable price for high-quality and fresh seafoods that are cherry-picked by Ueno visiting the market by himself, and the enthusiasm for Sushi of chefs at each store have attracted a number of customers.
Yam Okonomi Yaki (RM 19) One of the musts to have here is the Yam Okonomi Yaki. The Okomoni Yaki comes amazingly good as they are really flavourful and the taste is amazingly good and delicious.
Soft boiled egg with chicken mince miso, quite tricky to eat, as the inside it soft and flowy.
Aside, don’t miss out Toriden Tamago where these are their signature here. The Toriden Tamago (RM10), a soft-boiled egg served cold. The taste is simply awesome with the creamy runny egg.
Taste:9/10(Delicious. Food quality and taste is quite good and food preparation are done by two Japanese chefs. I like all the meal served. Salad were fresh with sesame dressing. I enjoy more of their grilled chicken dish compared to their grilled pork dish. The grilled chicken has more seasoning, softer, crispy skin and tender meat. The grilled avocado with melted cheese is awesome. Japanese omelette with chunks of pork belly is tasty as well. As for okonomiyaki is a bit lacking of ingredients as it only contains cabbage and batter. Dessert comes with 3 choices of vanilla, green tea and yuzu. The best choice would be yuzu as the taste is refreshing)
Mixed Okonomiyaki that contains Pork, Squid and Prawns – RM32 It was battered thick and filled with ingredients. Also topped with generous amount of mayonnaise and sweet sauce. I would say the portion is just-so, but I really enjoyed it tastewise
My Personal Opinion The teppanyaki didn't impress as much as I thought it would. Not having a say in the meat doneness, I can just as easily go to Tamaruya Meat Master (also at Lot 10) and have my fill of beef done exactly to my liking....with bigger portions and cheaper prices too (and what I pay goes directly into the amount of meat and not get 'wasted' on side dishes that I could do without (since I ended up liking only two out of the four courses). As for the okonomiyaki, it too didn't turn out to be the tasty treat that I was expecting. Hmmm, I'm not sure if I'll be back. I mean I know I'll be back to J's Gate Dining, I'm just not sure if I'll return to this particular restaurant. If I do return (and that's a big maybe), it'll be for the teppanyaki, not the okonomiyaki! ;)
One can enjoy their signature salt- grilled salmon served on the rice together with the dashi broth and deep fried tofu. The dish can be eaten in 4 ways where you can eat them as it is, add in the condiments to the 2nd portion, pour the Ochazuke Dashi onto the 3rd portion, or try the 4th portion in your own way.
The Mix Toji had tamago-toji simmered in a soy mirin sauce with onions topped with an ebi fry, half a chicken katsu and simmered beef gyudon style. The eggs were fluffy and the prawn and chicken had soaked up the sweet salty sauce. The beef below was quite tender. It was like having all my favorite Japanese dishes in one big dish, what a treat!
Salmon Don set at MYR 33.80 nett. No drinks are included. The hot hojicha (green tea) costs MYR 2.30 nett. Beneath the salmon slices are strips of omelette and seaweed on top of the deliciously soft and a bit sticky rice.
We also had their Kara-Age Noodle (RM 20) where the slurpilicious noodles are simply good. The udon comes amazingly good with the slurplicious taste and it is well topped with the piece of scrumptious unagi with it.
My Personal Opinion Even at non-promotional prices, I don't think you can find anything cheaper than RM18.99 (single) or RM35.99 (double) for a bowl of unagi rice that's of this quality and taste. So, there's no better time than now to head to J's Gate Dining to take advantage of this (and other) extremely fantastic offer(s) before the promotion ends on 11 May 2018...it's a deal you won't want to miss :) With 16 (and later 18) types of specialised Japanese food on offer here, there's bound to be one that will suit each and every palate. I'm pretty sure I'll be back long after the promotions have ended as the variety here is endless...and all in one spot too! ^_^
Since we were sharing, we had the Double Unagi Omelette Bowl @ RM38.99 with additional fried chicken (2pcs @ RM4.99) and miso soup and green tea @ RM3.99. The Unagi was undeniably delicious, it was firm and tender while the sauce did not taste too sweet. Every mouthful eaten together with the omelette and rice was truly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for the fried chicken, as it was not crispy at all and the bottom was quite soggy and oily too.
here you can refill the dashi pot and just drink it after the food. Quite a refreshing experience!
As Dashi Delica Saya is serving homey side dishes where the Japanese folks usually enjoy, diners of Dashi Dining Saya could actually call for ala carte add-ons from its neighbouring stores should you feel like indulging more on their tempting side dishes which includes the fruity Tomato with Apple Jerry that happens to be my favourite! Or you could also choose to take away the products to be enjoyed at home later too.
Dashi Dining Saya is a new Japanese cuisine store located inside The Japan Store, Isetan KL. Providing excellent quality of set meals at an affordable price. Their specialty is in incorporating umami, the fifth taste in their culinary dishes. It provides a savory yet meaty taste that is really satisfying to the palate, which means you get to enjoy the real "umami" here!
Salmon roll at MYR 25 nett from Kaisen Don Kinme stall/eatery (No Pork, No Lard). The salmon roll is served on a cold stone to keep it fresh and the tray was so heavy when I carried it from the stall to our table. One piece was eaten. It is as tasty as it looks. The two rice bowls below are from the same stall/eatery as this salmon roll.
I wanted to try both the natural and premium soup, so I ordered a shio natural (RM14.90) and a shio premium (RM19.90). For us, the premium one is the way to go as the rich broth is the type of ramen broth we are accustomed to. I do know of people who prefer lighter broths, so by all means, try the natural soup - add in some chilli flakes for an extra kick.
We're usually here for lunch, and we can't resist a good deal when we see one. The Kalbi and filet set meal (RM30) is very good value for money - it comes with 150g of kalbi boneless rib as well as filet. The set also comes with kimchi, salad, rice and seaweed soup.
Due to changes in the currency exchange rate between the ringgit and the yen, Yakiniku Toraji has improved their signature premium course menu (while retaining the original price) to correctly reflect its true value. Not only the course will include more meat, some of the existing items have been upgraded as well. Lastly, you definitely would not want to miss Yakiniku Toraji’s weekday set lunch. There are two types, one comes with marinated Wagyu beef at RM30 (limited to 10 sets a day) and the other is served with Australian beef (no limit) at RM40. Every set is also accompanied by an appetizer, rice, salad and soup. Trust me, it’s super worth it
At Yakiniku Toraji, you can expect to savor some of the most revered beef in the world. The highly prized A5 Wagyu from Kagoshima is the hallmark of the restaurant at a respectable price of RM500 per 200g strip loin. According to the Japanese beef grading system, A5 is the highest possible grade that’s only given to the finest beef which has excellent marbling, meat color, texture and fat quality.
The legendary Yōshoku Omurice with Demi-Glaze Sauce! Look delish! Creamy, soft-scrambled omelette topped over rich, moist tomato rice, dressed in a bed of housemade demi-glazed sauce. Comfort food that is great for anytime of the day.
I highly recommend the Butabara (Pork Belly) & Torimomo (chicken leg & thigh) the sauce that was marinated into these skewers were just amazing, I would come back for more because it's just so hard to resist!
Chicken Karaage (RM16) And this round, we sampled a few of Torikin’s signature that definitely make us to come back again. We started off with their delicious Chicken Karaage which was perfectly deep fried till golden brown. The chicken maintained its juiciness and yet the aromatic flavor and the crispiness was there. It was addictively delicious and tempting.
Tori Soboro (RM24). Minced chicken with egg on rice. Again, really overpriced, but not bad to eat. Just that, instead of finishing a bowl of it to yourself, I would really advise you to share it with others because the more you eat, the greasier it gets. Miso soup was really good though!
Reasons to visit: fantastic atmosphere, with three Japanese chefs in the kitchen under the watchful eye of the head chef, you feel transported. Great sake and high-quality ingredients.

We were told that the Gorgeous 4 Varieties of Wagyu Set (RM100), which comes with 320g of meat would be sufficient for two to share. Since we had a light meal before coming here, we ordered one set to share - it comes with Wagyu, roast vegetables, miso soup, rice, watermelon and one type of Obanzai. Obanzai is Japanese traditional homestyle cooking originating from Kyoto, made using konbu-dashi, katsuo-dashi and vegetables that are in season.
