Sashimi Omakase @RM150.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - For the first time I ordered a Sashimi Omakase which means request the chef to prepare his recommendation of the day to us. I really like the Toro and the Uni the most. They are really so sweet. Too bad that the price is quite expensive for only 5 kinds with 2 pieces each only.


Kampachi Carpaccio @RM52.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 4/5 - Must order this! I really like the slight spicy and sour taste accompany with the fresh Kampachi meat. The price for this dish is quite expensive as well.

Shiro Goma Ice Cream (left) and Goma Ice Cream (right) @RM8.00++/each - These are their homemade black sesame ice cream. The black one is much nicer because it is not so sweet and the ice cream is very smooth.

Outlook: 4/5

Taste: 3/5
Price: 1/5
Overall: 3/5 - It is a rolled omelette which is dressed with mayo and served in a hot plate. Very interesting dish but after the third bite, I feel quite queasy because of the tasteless egg which highly depends on the mayo for the taste. The most ridiculous thing is this egg cost RM15.90.

This is their house specialty which they only serve in a limited time period. In another words, while stock last. It is made of thick fish roe sandwiching a piece of seaweed. It is really crunchy and delicious.


Basically I will just introduce with all the pictures which is served to me. You maybe served with different sushi too. So it is really depends on the chef and which chef is serving you on that day.














This is my special order for the sea urchin. It is really delicious! I am not regret for ordering it even they will have to add another RM50/pax which means my total Omakase goes up to RM250/pax.

No salty taste which I had a lot of bad experiences in Singapore for example Menya Musashi Bukotsu and Tampopo Ramen. A basic ramen is comes with pork loin, bean sprouts, kikurage and spring onions. I ordered a special one for myself which is comes with egg and pork belly! Yummy! Their ultra-thin noodle in this ramen is making this ramen to be so perfect!

This has makes me very interested to try every each bowl of ramen they have next time.

Their sushi is truly excellent. Sometimes people will said the food quality from the buffet and ala-carte are different. However, I do not find it so in this restaurant after I have tried both.


Sashimi as well! Basic salmon, toro, shiro toro and mackerel to choose. I like all of them.


But nothing to compare with their delicious oyster. So fresh! If you are having half a dozen of it through ala-carte already cost you around RM6.00/each. I easily finished up 12 pieces and I can have more easily. That is why I hate having a buffet because we tend to eat more than we could.
