Primarily Japanese food but they do have other food like pasta and pizza. Most of the food are pleasing to good, serving is generous. Place is comfortable and relaxing even though it is busy, I guess it is the way the table are space out. Highly recommended.
We were in the Molek area visiting when the dinner time came. Didn't feel like eating normal stuff so tried this Japanese- looking restaurant for a change. Ordered 2 sets. The lala soup set and the ebi (prawn) set. The servings were generous. Price was also quite reasonable. The set came with slices of water melon, soup, rice, sourish appetisers, a half boiled eggs, etc. The lala soup set was fine but the ebi set tasted a little queer. Prawns used in this tempura method tasted mincy, like as though they were all broken even b4 we bite into it. It did not have that firm prawn texture that usual prawns would have. Service was great though. We feedback to the staff about the prawns and they were quick enough to do a service recovery by offering us a free dessert fruit tart which tasted excellent. Upon payment, they also refuse to accept payment for the prawn set which we appreciate. The atmosphere at this restaurant wins my heart. It's cosy, not echoing like in some places, nice lighting and generally good vibes. Parking was also easy. We are glad we found this place. We will be back for sure!
Serve Japanese cuisine and have variety of special taste pizza. If you looking for thin crust pizza, this is a great place for it. Price are reasonable and definitely will visit this place again and recommend to friends.
This restaurant is spacious, it really made me feel comfortable and relaxing while enjoying the food. They serve variety of Japanese and western cuisine, in both a la carte and set menu . The price is slightly high but the food quality is pretty good. The food portion is also good enough for sharing. The staffs are very friendly and attentive. Really good attitude. #Fuji apple seltzer #Deep fried salmon set (medium rare) #Spicy tomato wagyu pizza #Spicy cheese tiger prawn maki
Came here for lunch and absolutely loved the cozy, warm ambiance with Japanese wooden-style decor. I ordered the Unagi Pizza, Mochi Cheese, Aburi Salmon Mentai Maki, Teishoku Set Meal, Watermelon Lychee, & Tropical Peach drinks. The Unagi Pizza deserves a special shoutout — hands down the best pizza I’ve had in JB! Crispy, flavorful, and so unique. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for quality Japanese fusion food in a relaxing setting.
Nice dining environment. Tea for 2 pax could be refilled and served hot. Very huge portion given. Would love to recommend to my family and friends. Parking might be a bit difficult to find.
Our first time here for my birthday dinner. Comfortable ambience and helpful staff. Overall, we enjoyed the food which had good portions and above average taste. If you're a fan of thin crust pizzas, you'll definitely like their version - we had Salmon Mentaiko. They also offer three different kids sets which come with Yakult.
Nice new place! Salad portion is HUGE! Food quality is high! Can come try! Worth the amount I pay will come back again! Anyway it’s not traditional jap food but more fusion kind.. kids will like it a lot !
