Best Japanese Restaurants in PJ

Written by Updated ago

Are you a Japanese food follower? Should you be one, you'd surely agree with us that Japanese cuisine is far more extensive and exciting than rudimentary choices like sushi and sashimi. From sizzling teppanyaki to simple udon noodles, Japanese curry rice sets to skewers of yakitori, the appeal is as much as adroit skills as about great flavours. Also, if you believe that a good Japanese meal leaves a hole in your wallet, you’re so wrong. Having that said, we have left no stone unturned in Petaling Jaya to compile a list of Japanese restaurants that pave the way for severe addiction.

Rankings of all participants as visible on our listings are solely voted by you, our beloved readers. With that said, we would encourage you to please vote for your preferred participants in order to ensure their rightful positions ranking-wise on our portal. Thank you!

    Yama-g Fusion Sushi Japanese RestaurantHalal a81b201f94b2180a29928950eefa06850871fc85c2ba8fcb39753bdbcdfb49cfCertified

    Pork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    Yama-G is one of the few rare Halal Japanese fusion restaurants that offers an extensive variety of dishes in its menu. Each dish has an additional element besides the mix of ingredients that will help elevate and stand out from the rest – the series of sauces. The balance of flavour of its sauces were simply amazing. One of the highlight here is the Mango Waikiki Roll, which consists of salmon, avocado and mango slices, accompanied by a delicious blend of Yuzu sauce. If you’re in the mood to fill up your tummy to the max, check out their Sashimi Boat. Aesthetically presented over a boat are a medley of maguro, shiro maguro, fresh salmon, sweet shrimp, hokkigai, oyster, tamago and one piece of fresh yellow jack. Delicious! 

    Tips

    Go for their affordable Japanese buffet instead of an ala-carte!

    Izakaya Kushi RakuNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Despite the opening of indie cafés around the area, Izakaya Kushiraku is not easily intimidated and still stands strong with its servings of delightful Japanese gastronomy. The place is such an ideal place to respite from your busy schedule. They serve great udon and yakionigiri. The bowl of clear udon soup is purely delightful with a combination of sweet and salty flavour. The udon texture is smooth and springy along with naruto and fish flakes as garnish. You can also taste a bright flavour from the soup. Aside from that, the rice balls are just one of a kind. How do they prepare it? They grill the rice until it has a crispy texture. So when you take a bite, you will have a very nice crispy texture on the outside and soft in the inside. With a hint of salmon and a very strong soy sauce flavour to it, this dish is simply mouth-watering.

    Tips

    They have lunch set meal promotion for weekdays.

    Dontaku Japanese has a unique entrance, with the exterior of their walls lined with beautiful Japanese bowls and ornaments. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on where you stand), this is a non-halal business as it serves pork. Price ranges from more than RM10 to up to RM100, so it is a bit more expensive than the fast food restaurant chains but the huge selection of items on the menu that never fails to charm your taste buds makes it worthwhile. The atmosphere in the restaurant is casual enough for group meetings and a little photoshoot.

The salmons are freshly imported and adeptly assembled by the well-trained chefs. Bring over your entire entourage to savour as much dishes as you can. On a side note, the place is fairly large, so to get the staff’s attention might be a little difficult.
