Awagyu restaurant

Foods are fantastic, complemented by very good services & great hospitality. Good Japanese ambience. Here to mark the last day of 2020. On our earlier visit we had to struggle with the tough meat, but today we had them just right, mouth-watering. However, I wish I had not taken notice of the three gentlemen behind the glass panel. While taking a breather, each with their blue rubber gloves on were all busy swiping their respective mobile phones.

Been here a couple of times and love the food. So I'm just going to do a review for lunch and dinner (we went on different occasions) at one go. Ambience: The place is well decorated interior-wise. The artificial Sakura tree does give a Japanese theme to it. Restrooms are clean and so is everywhere else in the restaurant. The staff was always going around cleaning, that's a great point. Dinner: We were recommended to take the special yakiniku platter which consists of 8 types of cut. The waiter was kind enough to demo and cook for us and he said during busy hours, they could just do the demo. - Yakiniku 8 types: Great! Value for money as well. My favourite cut is the Sotomomo. The meat is super tender and it just melted in my mouth. The platter is specially marinated in a few types of fruit which gives a sour taste but with sprinkles of black pepper and salt, the taste isn't distinctive. A special dip was served together with the meat but it wasn't for me as it had strong taucu taste but it is supposed to go well with the meat. We like our meat medium rare so basically just 30-45 secs for each side depending on the cut. - Chicken Teriyaki: Taste different from a typical Malaysionised Japanese restaurant. The batter coat was really thin, which is good because you don't get quesy easily. The amount of teriyaki sauce coat is also minimal retaining the taste of the chicken. Definitely for future order. - Scallop on grill: Don't remember what it's called but it was part of the monthly promotion. It didn't taste anything special, my partner loved it tho, but if I were to compare, I love meat on the grill better. Good for seafood enthusiast. Lunch: - We ordered our favorite Yakiniku Platter. Taste great but this time around, the cuts were more marble, it was juicier and more tender. This is our all time favourite. Actually this set is alot for 2 pax, could also be shared by 3-4. Towards the end of the meal, we almost couldn't finish our food, but to avoid wastage, we forced ourself 😂 - Hotate Mentai for appetizer. The amount of cheese/cream was right and it was flamed torched giving it a slightly burnt taste. I prefer this over the grilled scallop but my partner preferred the grilled scallop. Personal preference. - Lunch Set of Teriyaki Chicken. The teriyaki chicken was different compared to the dinner but portion was just as big. The chicken was a bit crispy on the top, I preferred the former version. The chicken was on a bed of rice with salad and eggs. Came with side dishes of miso, cawanmushi, gyozas, and pickles. Gyoza was a bit overcooked but it did not spoil the overall experience. - There was a few selection of lunch set and I must say that the lunches are value for money. Our next visit might also be during lunch as I find it more relaxing compared to dinner (even tho the window is short). We really took our time to enjoy the food compared to dinner where we were in a rush because it was almost closing hour. Anything else? - Love the sauce/dip bar. The condiments are readily available for guests to try each and one of it. My favourite would be the spicy soy sauce and the green sambal. It's really spicy 🔥 so not for the faint of heart. There are other sauce options. - Free flow of green tea. You can get it yourself or the staff as they refill everytime they see the glass is empty. - The staffs were really sweet and attentive BUT during lunch I was a bit annoyed. Nothing big but I feel like it needs to be mentioned here for constructive criticism -- we drove a normal car, nothing fancy and when we wanted to park at the designated parking area for customers, a slim chinese waitress was running towards us to let us know that we can't park there. I asked her if the place is closed, she said no and without apologizing -- let us in 🤔 We are plain simple folks but we do enjoy a good meal 😊 so please don't judge. Customer service should go on par with the food. For this, it lose a star in the review.

Love this place! They served good quality meat, and their service is good too! Will definitely come back for the meat. The downside, shab\u2 soup tasted like tap water even though they said it’s chicken soup.

Food is not bad.... service is really excellent but i think for the quality and portion of food offered, it is too expensive. Not great value.

Disappointing as we had a good first time experience with great cuts and marbling. The Wagyu was mouthwatering but during the second visit, the cuts didn’t do it. It did not have the same marble and the meat was tough. Thumbs up for the service coz they came to explain how we should cook it to get a better experience and they have us a complimentary dish. Sad that this second experience didn’t do it for me.
