I highly recommend Durian Crème Brûlée too.
Food here is good and their service is really fast too but i feel that their price is a little expensive. Environment is comfortable and nice.
Here's the location.
Ippudo Pork Bun (RM 7.70), one of their signature snack and best seller across the world. Juicy braised pork belly with Ippudo's special sauce sandwiched between the soft mantau is addictive
J-Garden is frequented by Japanese expatriates, a feat which speaks volumes about the authenticity of the yōshoku cuisine here!
Starting with some of J Garden's best sellers- the Tender Chicken Nanban is a dish not to be missed. It is definitely a dish that cannot be found else where... juicy, tender Chicken meat coated with airy batter being fried till perfection and topped with sweet-savory-sour, addictive caramelized Onion sauce. Good on its own or even better to enjoy with their creamy home-made Tartar sauce. While it is contenting to enjoy the dish alone, it is more tummy filling and palate-pleasing to make it a set (additional Rm 6)... with Japanese Rice, Miso Soup and various condiments.
J Garden serve some Japanese-fusion-Italian-Western kind of food, which i would say, J Garden mix things up themselves.
We all know sashimi ain’t cheap and a lot of Japanese restaurants charge a hefty price for fresh salmon sashimi.
Kenko offers delivery service too! So you can definitely enjoy their delicious meals wherever you are.
Kai Curry Bar was established way back at the year 2015, and they have started operating since then at Jalan Phuah Hin Leong. During MCO, they moved their business back to their home base and now they have just re-open again a few doors down at Jalan Phuah Hin Leong too. Japanese Curry is one of the signatures of Kai Curry Bar. Having their recipe of curry ingredients, Kai Curry Bar mix and blend its curry paste. The portion of the meat is generous in size while the taste of the curry is still as good as the first day I tried it. Fika Kafi is also one of the partners with Kai Curry Bar which serve nice drinks and desserts. These 2 partners make a great combination.
The curry rice here may be great to satiate your craving for Japanese food but still missing a few keynotes to yield the wow factor.
I feel that the food here is decent and their service is good too

The only thing I could compliment was the texture of the Sushi Rice... which surprisingly alright.
If you’re a fan of sashimi, you can enjoy feasting on Norwegian Salmon, freshly air-flown to the outlet.
As for the Matcha Latte, the creamy drink offers a satisfying level of matcha and sweetness.
这间 Komichi Tea House 小路茶坊 没有高挂的大招牌，门口处摆满了让人心旷神怡的绿色盆栽，一不留意还以为这是间民宅。
At Komichi Tea House, a new Japanese cafe tucked away at a quiet corner of Lorong Toh Aka, where Matcha is everywhere and everything. For the uninitiated, Matcha (or known as Japanese Green Tea) is making its name in the food and beverage scene worldwide in recent years; the flavor is more intense than Chinese Green Tea, with a bolder bitter end. Komichi is one specialist when it comes to Matcha, the entire cafe is Matcha-centric. One of the partners' father owns a Tea Farm in Japan and needless to say, the Japanese Green Tea is directly imported from there. The daughter who is know residing in Penang owns a cafe-dream and now, managed to turn the dream into reality. The menu is very Matcha-focused with an array of serious Matcha beverages and some Matcha-infused home-bakes. Nothing spectacular about the interior decor but rather, an unpretentious and earnest place to enjoy a good serving of Matcha delights.
The Nabe Udon was nicely executed with chewy, fat Udon topped with a runny Egg and Tempura Prawn. The broth was Shoyu-flavored but perfectly easy and clean on the palate.
[Pork-free] If you’re looking to take a break from street food in Penang, check out Shokudo Niban, which serves Japanese tapas.
Reasons to visit Shokudō Niban Hin Bus Depot: tasty street-style Japanese food that is immediately satisfying; fun setting; progressive concept where every staff member owns a piece of the pie.
We could not keep away from ordering the Chicken Karaage Bao Burger. The pillowy bao had a lovely combination – packed with juicy chicken karaage with airy crisp coating, salty punch of mentaiyaki and sharp flavors of home pickled kyuri. Accompanying chili paste provides a spicy kick to the bao however we recommend to enjoy simply on its own!
Cempedak Cheesecake RM15.80 Not as rich as the one from Moody Cow, but not bad.
At Gudang Cafe, it wasn’t just the character of the cafe that distracted me. On my dinner and lunch visits, the service was good and the well thought-out dishes from the menu were made fresh and tasty.
The Aka Special is a spicy choice to have. This spicy specialty comes presented in Shiro soup infused with special spicy chili paste.
风暴兵太太则点了白豚骨拉面(SHIRO Special)，同样是招牌拉面。其实，卖相和黑豚骨拉面差不多，唯一不一样是，这个是“白”的，风暴兵先生是“黑”的。
For those who does not enjoy soup, probably due to hot weather and sweat a lot, go for their dry ramen. The ramen noodles are tossed in their signature mix of sweet & sour soy sauce, creating a balanced taste that soothing to the taste buds. It is served with chicken meatballs, black fungus, spring onions, seaweed, flavoured beansprouts and eggs.
We enjoyed the Smoked Duck variant better than the other; we thought the combination was better. The extra touch of Japanese Furikake (Japanese Rice Sprinklers) added another layer of flavor to the dish. Apart from that, the flavor combo was quite straight forward
Another one of my favorite food here is the Homemade Chicken Luncheon Meat and Sausage.
Penang is a modern looking cafe with comfortable seating place.
The Unagi Tama Don was probably the only dish we could agree upon but the classic combo of Unagi with Japanese-styled Egg rice bowl was pretty much standard-average... well, at least we managed to get what we were paying for.
At Kakiyuki, not only their Kakigori are must try items but other dessert from their menu is good too.
A bowl of Matcha-goodness, the Matcha Anmitsu is ideal for Matcha lovers. It has everything in a bowl- Matcha Ice Cream, Warabi Mochi, Anmitsu (jellies), Dango, a scoop of Anko as well as some fresh fruits. Refreshingly light on the palate but satisfyingly delicious
The puffed savory souffle with airy and foamy egg and cheese topping arrived in a cast iron pot. Inside was a filling made up of fluffy aromatic Japanese garlic rice, prawns, scallops and squid. I personally like this rice dish.
There is quite limited selections for the mains in the menu, however savoury signature dishes do beat up quantity. The squid ink pasta and squid ink rice is actually quite disgusting me at the first place, as I could not imagine chewing this black black in my mouth. So, I have ordered soupy pasta - Lobster Bisque Pasta and my partner ordered the "Riz Noir" Squid Ink Rice.
Pot Baked Souffle Doria (with or without beef) RM26.80 - Bestseller We enjoyed this rice & egg dish very much. It was worth the time and extra effort. It had an amazing texture, firm yet creamy, tasty, tasty, tasty.
We unanimously agreed that the best dish of the day was the Green Curry Udon. We were worried if the Green Curry will turn out to be too thick to go with the Japanese noodles but it was in fact, in the perfect consistency. It was not too watered down nor it was too thick, just good enough to cling onto the noodles and giving them the necessary flavors. The noodles were expertly cooked to the right texture either- bouncy and definitely not slouchy. For such a satisfying portion, we thought the price was well-justified.
There were not much options for the Oden but none of them disappoint. The broth was clear and breaming with sweetness (Dashi stock), the only thing we were confused here was the presence of Hard Boiled Egg and it was selling for Rm 3.50 each
At first sight, we thought the Tatami Iwashi are dried cuttlefish but looking at details unveil its secret. It is flavourful, crunchy and nice in taste. Though might come with a heavy price tag of RM 18 but definitely worth the try. On the other hand, we never thought Eihire (singray fin) would have such unique and appetizing taste!
In terms of food, the taste of the ramen that i tried is not as good as it looks. The one that i tried is their Tonkotsu Mix Ramen which is serve with 3 very thin slices of chashu belly, wood ear fungus, spring onion, hanjuku egg and 2 piece of nori. The broth is salty and the ramen noodles is not soft enough. I personally would prefer to have a softer ramen noodles, maybe cooking it another 1 minutes would be better ? The chashu belly is too thin in my opinion, they can serve it in thin slice but it would be good to give more than 3, maybe ? While for the broth, i find it salty, maybe it is just me ?
