Best Japanese Restaurants in Ipoh

Using only fresh imported Japanese ingredients, you can expect a much refined taste from their food here. Start off with their signature- Kyuri Maki, with rejuvenating and crunchy cucumber rolls cleansing your palate with balmy flavours. An entrée of a Grilled Salmon Head will then certainly pave a way to your tummy with its charred, sweet, and rich flavours. 

If you aren’t already jaded by the sight of sushi, you’re in for a treat here at Mokuren. Feast yourself with their tantalizing sushi set filled with freshly prepared rolls and ingredients. But if you’re into something more filling and hearty, the teriyaki drenched Salmon Set here is almost compulsory; prepared to be worth your every buck. 

Nothing triggers a craving more than a smoky and umami-inducing aroma wafting through the air; seduction at its best. The aroma is probably exuded from the Buta Teppanyaki, with lean and fat meat complementing each other, filled with smoky and garlicky flavours. Sushi must not be brushed aside as well, with the Alaska Roll featuring Salmon Sashimi and Roe, garnished with a zesty concoction of mayo. 

Shinjuku is a luxurious Japanese restaurant that caters premium and higher-end Japanese food. Having said that, disappointment is not in their dictionary when it comes to satisfying those discerning palates. The dishes here are nowhere near mundane, with meticulously prepared Sushi, Teppanyaki, and if you want to bring it down a notch- snacks like Okonomiyaki and Ebi Tempura. 

It’s hard to be picky about tastes and flavours in chain restaurants, but all those discerning taste buds can rest assured, it is not the same here. Sushi Zento features a selection of pork dishes that will change your perception towards the usually plain dish. Here, they take it up a notch by glazing their Roasted Pork Belly to a melting texture, introducing Pork Bacon into Mushrooms and Butter, wrapping seafood with more bacon, because why not?
