This is my top pick of the day; highly recommended with a great value of a Rice Bowl of Mentaiko Tamago Don. The portion was generous with the thick piece of the Tamago served on a bed of Japanese rice flavoured with seaweed toppings.
That’s not to distract from the food on offer – mainly izakaya staples such as yakitori, kushikatsu, sashimi, tempura and of course, alcohol. Well, we tried to sample their food categories as much as (physically) possible for two person.
Salmon Fried Rice (RM16) The Salmon Fried Rice was an expensive fare but the portion was as small as a normal white rice bowl. It was full of aroma from the garlic and so tasty!
Serve the best toast with ice-cream.
8.5/10. Personally, a little bit steep in price, but I absolutely love it! The taste of the desserts always keeps me coming back for more. To be honest, I’m always shocked by how good that Matcha lava cake is, and the toast NEVER disappoints!
Miru's Strawberry Cheesecake Kakigori was impressive... the ice was silky smooth and fine while the Strawberry 'syrup' was carefully sweetened. It did not feel very 'artificial' and we trust real Strawberries have been used in the making of the 'syrup'. Just as you dig further and getting monotonous on the 'syrup' and 'shave ice' combo, there will be cubed Cheese Cake to further entice you. Though not exactly the best Cheese Cake, it provides a good bite and a fine touch to the icy treat.
Verdict: Overall the ramen is nice with an intense broth They are mostly famous for their Cheese tsukemen Service was lacking and their app isn't very helpful in terms of ordering the food.
Verdict: We were largely contented with our meal at Mitsuyado Seimen. A well worth checking out for noodles devotees.
The basic Tsukemen, which is known as hiyamori is one variety where the Ramen is served slightly chilled and compliments with warm soup. Mitsuyado continuously invents new recipe, to cater for the vast customers’ combination preferences, using different temperature in boiling and rinsing of the noodles. Therefore, Mitsuyado has become the pioneer in the arena of Tsukemen to offer noodles in 4 different temperatures!
To be frank, I am not well versed in Japanese cuisine. My knowledge on Japanese food is almost zero. But when it comes to eating, I trust my taste buds more ...
Decided to try out Toripaitan Shoyu Egg @ RM 17.40 with thin noodle. Order their regular style too. Quite like their shoyu base, as it is clear, mild spicy and quite fragrant. Egg I wish it is more flavourful then it would be perfect. Chicken meat is soft and juicy.
Verdict: Overall the food was great and refreshing with friendly service.. There are other types of soup based available! Do try them all!
We really enjoyed our meal at Shabu Gion. The quality of food and preparation was impeccable and it was a great experience. The price point is a little bit higher than your normal buffet shabu shabu restaurants, but you get what you paid for. However, they do offer sets at reasonable pricing, for example the deluxe shabu set for 2 starts from RM 63.90.
Love their lamb slices as it had mild lamb gammy taste that I like.
Well, for the price that we are paying, definately no complain at all, however I still prefer Sukiya over this. As sukiya soup base is much flavourful. For this outlet it seems pretty mild in most of the soup base. However, depends on your own preference as this is constantly packed.
Click on it to read the text. There are 5 soup base available and 4 types of meat: pork, chicken, beef and lamb. You need to pay extra if you order from the ala carte section. For weekday lunch the price is MYR 32.80++ (10% service charge and 6% GST making it MYR 38.25 nett) and it is limited to a 2 hours session. For weekends, the price is MYR 34.80++ for lunch.
Overall, we were satisfied with the quality of the ingredients, as the prawns and meat slices were fresh and highly enjoyable. And as expected, the pork slices were the most delicious and went well with the spicy miso dipping sauce. That said, Sukishi’s sushi was terrible so don’t have high expectations for it. Personally, I thought they were worse than what you get at supermarkets.
Pretty impressed by the good service and attentiveness. All in all, a very enjoyable meal and making more trips here.
It was all right for me, not something that I would be rushing back for anytime soon. For those of you who prefer your food light tasting and not too salty, this mazesoba sauce could be a bit too strong for you. It was quite salty for me and though I do not mind robust flavors, this might not be my favorite.
Just the other day, my partner told me that he was treated to dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Damansara Utama. He told me that the noodles are quite good and at the end of the meal, you can request for rice to mop up whatever is left in the bowl after you have finished your noodles. Sounds like a great place for carb addicts hah..hah..hah...
This is what I love about Japanese food. You get rice, protein, vegetables, soup - a little bit of everything and it does fill you up very nicely. I noticed that the rice is regular rice, not the usual sticky Japanese rice. The beef was excellent and so was everything else.
Grilled salmon belly skewers at MYR 15+ (MYR 15.90 nett). The salmon belly has crispy skins but very fatty belly so no more next time.
Beef Tataki - MYR 17 nett. I found this explanation from the internet: "Beef tataki refers to a Japanese method of preparing fillet beef, where the meat is lightly seared, marinated, sliced thinly similar to sashimi, and served with a citrus-soy dipping sauce". From wiki, tataki (たたき) means "pounded" or "hit into pieces". The beef fillet in this dish is sliced very thinly and very lightly seared so it may appear to be medium rare so if one wants to eat beef that is cooked thoroughly to well done then stay clear of this dish. I find this dish very flavourful due to it being served in the citrus soy sauce.
Firstly, we had the Chef Yama signature recommendation dish “Salmon Belly Osaka Sushi” RM28.80 – Salmon Rice Osaka with sushi rice in garlic and onion flavor. The sushi platter appearance gives a very stunning impression at first glance, while the food itself is a long and huge “Wooooow” shoutout from us, just way too many stuff lingering around our mouth right after taking a whole bite and leave us speechless for a few minutes (we actually just described how good this sushi really is)! 😉 If traditional sushi is simple and awe-inspiring (fresh seafood and vinegar rice), then the fusion sushi is the symbol of grand and elegant (more intense and unique flavor from a various mixture of sauces).
Chicken Katsu Don, 23.80 ringgit The Chicken Katsu Don/ Rice Bowl was yummy! I’d certainly order this dish again. You’d get a generous portion of crispy, tender chicken fillet + egg and caramelized onions. There was some sort of gravy that came with the rice, that gravy was a delicious blend of sweet and spicy which made the dish even better. If you fancy a dish that is flavorful and filling, do consider this Katsu Don.
Yasai Omu Curry Rice at MYR 19.80 nett (inclusive of 6% SST). Yasai (野菜) means vegetable so there are potatoes, pumpkin, okra and carrots in this meal. Omurice refers to rice wrapped in an omelette. My friend says this dish is tasty and I guess the Curry is on the sweet side since my friend does not take spicy food.
I went for the cold green tea soba tempura at MYR 11.13+ (6% SST = MYR 11.80 nett). The green tea taste is strong and nice. The way to eat this is to mix the spring onions, daikon, seaweed into the cup of mirin soy sauce and then dip the cold soba into the sauce before eating it.
On that day, we went to Sushi Zanmai, Starling mall for lunch. I ordered a small bowl of Tempura soba for MYR 13.96 nett. There were only two pieces of tempura - a prawn and a piece of brinjal. Other than this, I also ordered my usual avocado sushi (MYR 2.64 nett - two pieces).
Reasons to visit RyoRi at The Great Beer Bar: as mentioned in the introduction, beer and barbecue is happiness; craft beer and Japanese barbecue is elation.
Brewlander Respect (Porter) Finally, to cap things off, we ended with the Brewlander Respect. This for me was the star of the show. If you enjoy darker Porter beers, this is the one for you. It's full-bodied taste with hints of coffee and bitter-sweet notes will guarantee a satisfying experience, especially after a heavy meal or after an intense night out.
MUST TRY: Crispy Pork Belly with Apple Sauce and Mushroom
Overall we like both the yam pastry mooncake and the yam swiss roll. Definitely going back to RT for more.
Soft vanilla sponge along with a refreshing strawberry just melts in the mouth. It goes perfectly well with the Masala Chai, damn perfect combo!! Strawberry Season Cake @ RM 38
Now, isn't that lovely? That's the I Love Unagi Set. It comes with a bowl of fried rice topped with unagi, four pieces of maki, potato salad, tofu, watermelon, miso soup and a handroll. The fried rice was quite nice topped with thinly sliced grilled unagi and fish roe.
The lunch was not bad at all. The presentation is of course lots better than the one at the foodcourt.
I was so looking forward to going to Ramen Hitoyoshi again because I love the ramen. This one is the Buta Shogayaki Tonkotsu Ramen. Yes, very good till the last drop.
First, the ajitama. Beautifully executed, the yolks were runny and the egg was well marinated. The broth was really good too, though a tad too salty for me.
Japanese Mee Goreng (RM 15) The Japanese Mee Goreng is another highlight. We love how they use soba instead of yellow noodle to stir fried. Burst with umphh.. the mee goreng is really appetizing with the kick of umph!
I quite like Miyagi Nga Pou Kai Fan. Using Japanese Soy Sauce and Chicken being grill first before adding on top. Can ask for extra soy sauce if you want it to get a little salty. Just nice as the flavour really does goes well with the highball.
Verdict: Overall, it was an enjoyable meal and what I really like is their service which was prompt and rather attentive. Price and food wise, I’m satisfied with the quality of the meat provided but there was a stuffed bean curd tasted quite “funny” which we suspected the food might already gone bad.
Overall, it was an enjoyable meal and the lunch buffet is a great deal. If you are looking for a filling and satisfying shabu shabu experience without having to splurge, Mikoshi won’t be a bad choice.

A place for Bacon Lover , Bacon & Brews offers a Western-Asian theme to all their meals . a cafe that serve all their food with bacon bites . Bacon themed cafe , with food ranging from Kimchi fried rice to Bacon carbonara and Bacon cheesecake . The cafe itself is quite a relaxing with warm white lighting making the ambiance a cozy .
The Bacon and Brews at Damansara Uptown is the place for bacon lovers to enjoy a dining experience of incomparable creativity and effort. The Bacon and Brews desserts are considerably the cafe flagship. Ordering it could be a little tedious knowing it is going to be a huge sharing portion. Step one is to decide between the crispy waffle (3pcs), liege Belgium Waffle (3pcs), and what we have chosen here, the Shibuya Honey Toast. (Yes, this is the period of the time where I crave honey toast very much.) Step 2 isn’t easy too, but I saved all the trouble doing any thinking at all and went for the Signature Maple Bacon and Rum soak raisin. It said this is a must try serving of house made rum and raisin gelatin and candied bacon gelatin served with beautiful candied bacon, rum soak raisin, drilled with golden maple syrup, and topped with candied bacon bits, butter crumble and chocolate cake crumble.
Minimalist in interior décor for a more understated yet dazzling environment, Bacons & Brews focuses more on its culinary panache which is more on Western-Asian fusion, besides enriching its selection of food affair with some Japanese elements for that lip-smacking surprise.
Verdict: A very serene and calm place to have a Japanese style high tea or an affordable lunch
It was a good dessert for us. Their TINY, CUTE Dessert manages to impress me with their taste and presentation. Second Visit? Sure, to try their beverages in the future.
Tamagoyaki Sliced with Potato Ham RM11.90 serves with mashed potato, salad, and chicken ham is another egg omelet series with an additional ingredient (as a topping) to chew on. If you love the idea of having mash potato, steam egg and vinegary taste (Worchester sauce) at the same time, be sure not to skip this awesome combination!
Tamago Mentai Don was simply delicious. Tamago + Mentai is the match made in heaven for me. YUM!! * Must try in the Shin Tamagoyaki. Not hungry? Skip the Tamago Mentai Don and go straight to the Tamago Mentai. You won't regret for the perfect choice you have made in the life. Portion may look small in the picture, but it's just nice for me. Tamago Mentai Don @ RM 13.90
老闆使用從日本引進的蛋燒機,每天以新鮮的雞蛋現打現做。
In the end, I chose Salmon Yanagawa Set at MYR 28+ (MYR 29.70 nett). Yanagawa is a city in Japan. Salmon Yanagawa is almost like an omelette with chunks of salmon, slices of onions, slices of mushrooms in it. The pieces of salmon are tasty and fresh.
每天早上新鮮製作,口感相對比一般日本餐廳來的更順滑有嚼勁。
Meals in Udon Kobo Min Min starts with a bowl of Curry Udon RM20.90 which serves with signature pork curry. For those who love to eat “Maggi Curry” flavour out there, this bowl has a quite similar flavour to it while having a thicker noodle to chew on and more luscious garnishes such as spring onion, scallion and onions in a bowl.
