Phenomenal service by both the attentive host and the ever smiling servers! That said the food was no slouch either. Curry had depth and the beef, although a little overcooked, was still super juicy with a mouth watering char. Assam laksa with ramen noodles was a great twist, carrying soup much better than more traditional options. At some point I just stopped using the soup spoon because the soup delivered with each bite of noodle was just right. Dishes on other tables looked delicious too, can't wait to come back and try. Would 100% recommend anyone come try it out!
Great place with amazing hospitality and delicious food! I found the restaurant through Google Maps and was surprised, because I thought I had visited all the good restaurants in the area. The lady at the counter was very helpful, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely 5 stars for the service! We ordered curry, ramen, and one of the desserts, and received another one as a gift. All the meals were super tasty. We are going to come back and try other items from the menu. Highly recommended for anyone who values good service and delicious food!
Food is good, lots of flavour. Ramen texture had the right amount of bite without being overcooked. Mapo tofu ramen and white curry ramen were good choices. If i were to complain, it would be that the egg was slightly overcooked, could have been a bit more runny. But small issue They also served a complimentary fruit plate too. Ither desserts are more asian, rather than western. Ambience is nice, with lots of natural light.
We were intrigued by the Japanese local fusion concept. Their white curry ramen was surprisingly good and full of umami taste. Their beef patty on their curry rice was a bit hard so it is advisable to order their beef slice curry rice instead. Owner was very friendly and the ambience was lovely. And we really love their dessert, sago with purple and sweet potato . It was served hot and not too sweet. We will definitely be back to try their other dishes .
Really friendly and helpful owner as she patiently goes through the menu. She 's also attentive to our needs. Food was delicious and they served it very fast. Really recommend the Penang Laksa and their curry rice series. Their drinks here are also interesting
One of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time! This fusion restaurant masterfully combines Japanese and Malaysian flavors, with even hints of English breakfast woven into the menu. The creativity in the dishes is outstanding — bold, balanced, and delicious from start to finish. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. Right from the first dish, the staff asked if we were sharing, and every course that followed was thoughtfully presented with two sets of utensils — either bowls or plates depending on the dish. It’s that kind of attention to detail that really makes a difference. At one point, I had accidentally spilled a few drops of soup onto my unused napkin. When the staff came to clear our plates, they quietly replaced it with a fresh one without me even mentioning it — such a small gesture, but so impressive and appreciated. Even the complimentary fruit at the end was plated so beautifully it felt like a dessert course on its own. Every detail, from food to service, showed pride and care. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a fusion dining experience that’s both thoughtful and exciting. Will definitely return!
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with attentive and friendly service throughout. The lady boss offered excellent recommendations and was a delight to chat with. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing a unique Japanese-Malaysian fusion concept. Definitely a must-try!
