Edo Ichi is kind of a luxury japanese restaurant. Though, i think they serve sorta bigger portion than Sakae Sushi and have better service.
It is so pack that we can’t get a table and have to sit at Sushi bar but better than waiting, the sushi bar is not small either it has great depth that enough to place a few plate so it still very comfort. Great environment with dim light and a big aquarium with sea water fish in it.
Next, we tried Edo Ichi’s Soft Shell Crab and Salmon Skin salad (RM18). This salad comes with a heavenly sesame dressing that left me wanting more! I love Asian style dressings so much more than regular mayo or Thousand Island.
It’ll be one dining experience that you’ll never forget about.
It’s our first time here and on the visit, we went for the Midori set – a reasonably priced course with the offering of appetizers, 8 kinds of sushi, a special dish, kaisen chawan mushi, and dessert. The highlight is the sushi rice – prepared using traditional-aged red vinegar which lightly colors the rice and giving it a mellow taste. A touch of freshly-grated wasabi gives the food a spicy lift.
烤kamo(鸭)，鸭肉包住cherry tomato，很香。。。 放进嘴里，不要直接咬，关着嘴巴5-10秒钟，你会嗅到那种烧烤味，咬下去那个tomato，跟拿鸭肉混在一起，可能小偏想烧烤想到疯了，感觉直接带我飞上青天～～
Previously a chef at Miraku, Chef Takahiro Kinoshita and his wife opens their own restaurant at Vantage. Here's the location. Please call to make reservation before you visit during the weekends.
To sum it up, this is a good authentic Japanese restaurant which I will definitely pay them another visit for their set lunch menu (They serve ala carte during dinner). I give this restaurant extra points because they serve 100% authentic Japanese instead of commercialised fusion food.
I think it’s pretty unlikely that we will come back to Nomiya, unless there is a radical change in the food. There has to be some better Japanese food options on Penang.
We got a little overly excited with the opening of Nomiya- American Izakaya at Straits Quay; the name Izakaya gives an impression that the gastropub serves light Japanese Tapas and alcohol but this particular place got it all wrong. Nomiya serves limited Izakaya-related menu (no Yakitori, no Ikayaki, no Karaage, no Japanese-styled Grilled Fish nor American Tapas) but a series of mains with above-average (rather hefty) price tags (yet the quality/ serving portion failed to commemorate with price). Not only the menu and quality were disappointing, the service was equally lackluster as well. Orders were wrongly taken and the service lead time was long either (took them more than 45 minutes to serve all orders). Probably they were still new, our dining experience was rather bad and we reckon they have plenty of rooms for improvements still.
HAKU, situated within the charming Strait Quay Penang, has quickly gained popularity as a brand-new establishment under the renowned Kiyosaki Group. As an avid food enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to experience the culinary wonders of this impressive Japanese restaurant, and I must say, I was not disappointed.
Unlike most ramen restaurants in Malaysia, Menya Miyabi remains faithful to the authentic recipe in Japan.
Gyoza (Fried Dumplings). 6pcs – RM13.00, 10pcs – RM19.00. The gyoza is one of the highlights here. The skin was thin and fried until slightly crispy. The inner filling was juicy and tasty. It has the right ratio of meat and veggie in the filling
Japanese eateries is sprouting fast lately in Prima Tanjung, Penang amidst several oldies. A favorite oldies is Aji Noren, a husband-wife-run restaurant offering a blend of authentic Japanese dishes as well as stir-fried home-style food. Established way back in 2003, the restaurant hidden behind the main road of Jalan Fettes has Eric T.A. Koh tending to the kichen while wife Alicia oversees the front of the house. Almost 14 years already, and today this humble gem has established a regular local customer base among the Japanese community.
We did not the Dashi Tamagoyaki to be good but it turned out to be very delicious and we must concur that it exceeded our expectation. The texture was perfect and the Egg Rolls were reasonably seasoned with discernible Dashi flavor.
Kanitama (RM 15) is the Japanese style Omelette filled with crab meats. This is an off menu item in the restaurant. We enjoyed the fluffiness of the egg, but its sauce appears more appealing to the patrons who enjoy strong umami taste. On top of that, crabs sticks were used instead of crabs meats, though we could not tell how the taste will be if real crab meats were used.
We must concur that Tankoya serves some of the best cuts of the meat... none of the meat disappoint. Though most meats were seasoned, diners can opt to add in the Japanese-styled barbecue sauce... which offers another different type of flavor
We chose the Chasu Ramen served in deeply flavored pork broth with miso. Besides the topping of three thick pieces of chasu pork (Japanese-style braised pork belly), there is also an egg and seaweed.
We started of with their sushi where they have a wide choices of sushi to choose from. Their sushis pretty good where the ingredients are fresh. Grace love the sushi so much and wanted to add more of it.
Here's the location.
Service here is a little bit slow but everyone of them here is really friendly.
Purists however, should go for the Pure Matcha Nishio, a real testament to the rich Matcha experience but do expect the low-bitter aftertaste.
