Japanese restaurants. What do you normally think of when someone, say your friend, mentions to you those two words? Do you immediately think about sushi? Or salmon? Or maybe even the simple fact of eating Japanese food with the rather popular green tea? Whatever it happens to be, Japanese food is quite a popular one, well, at least with Malaysians. However popular it might be, Japanese food can be pretty pricey for the average Joe. So, the dream reduces to merely eating Japanese food on an occasional basis, most probably during special occasions – birthday celebration of a family member, getting together of friends or maybe even company dinner.
Situated in Petaling Jaya, or more specifically inside the prestigious One World Hotel next to the grand shopping complex of One Utama, you would expect this restaurant to live up to its tenant’s name. This restaurant is definitely a step above the rest, in other words, premium Japanese dining establishment. So, what does it mean by premium level? Do carry on.
For one, the ambience is as you will expect it to be. Cosy and elegant. Simple tables and chairs will seem like a sin to be featured here, however, simple beautiful elegance is a whole different story. Service is here is alright. Reasonable for a place like this. Do give this place a visit if you are looking for authentic Japanese food with a twist – unique appearance and presentation, made with the freshest and highest of quality ingredients, all made with loving and experienced hands. Do give their Sansai Nameko Udon a go. It is a bowl of hot udon served with Japanese vegetables and mushrooms. Of course, their sashimi and the popular fugu fish is one to try.
