A Japanese style restaurant with a bit of malay elements located in Denai Alam. Its one out of 2 japanese shops awailable so far (pending the lakeside mall opening). Parking is readily awailable. Service is ok, not the best but they are still in the learning stage as the outlet recently opened 2-3 months ago. Quite a wide variety of choices and a nice clean environment. Food is on the medium side price wise. Quick disclaimer as i am on a keto diet i am unable to try most of the items. The food is just alright. Not bad but not amazing. The chicken namban was ok, with nothing special. The chicken pieces were abit big for my liking with the bater ratio being off. The green tea was diluted with lots of ice but since its refillable i dont mind. The octopus in the takoyaki was small as can be expected given the size. However, i enjoyed the basil pesto pasta on an earlier visit so i do think there are somethings worth trying. Overall, a worthy option when not in the mood to travel out for japanese food. Just don't get your hopes up expecting it to taste just like in japan.

This place has a nice outdoor seating area in front and also in the back, especially nice when Vanderbilt Open Streets is running, as then the street is closed to cars and there are a lot of events like live bands, so the atmosphere is festive. The sushi here is fresh and tastes really good, very happy with the Ocean Lover roll which has salmon, tuna and avocado. The tonkatsu curry is also really delicious, especially the fried pork cutlet is really juicy and goes well with the curry sauce, and the rice is also fragrant. The curry has a nice kick as well. This is also a place we frequent quite a bit.
