Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia｜Warakuya Japanese Restaurant

This is my first time here, and I must commend the staff for providing an excellent service, especially Quan, who assisted us from the start 👍🏽👏🏽 The food was delightful, and the prices, while generally affordable, can be on the higher side for certain items. The salmon, salmon belly, chawanmushi, and unagi practically melt in your mouth. If you're a fan of unagi and salmon sashimi, it's definitely worth a try! We also tried their pistachio matcha nama chocolate, and it's truly delicious! Just be aware it leans towards the sweeter side.

Late-Night Authenticity and Theatrics. At 9:30 pm, my friend and I were in pursuit of a late-night Japanese fix, fearing most places might be closing. Thankfully, a Google search revealed Warakuya, a hidden Sri Petaling gem that caters to night owls. Expecting a run-of-the-mill Japanese dinner, we were pleasantly shocked by Warakuya's commitment to unique and authentic presentation. As we entered, waitresses donning charming maid costumes, though unconventional, added an intriguing touch. Their offering of oshiburi, hot towels for hand cleansing, exuded an elevated level of Japanese hospitality. My friend went for the stir-fried beef set, served sizzling on a hot metal dish, creating an enticing spectacle. The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned, striking a delightful balance between saltiness and sweetness. It was accompanied by a side soup, kimchi, and tofu, all complementing the steaming bowl of rice. I chose the sashimi salmon, presented on a bed of ice with dramatic smoke effects, likely due to dry ice. This captivating display elevated a seemingly simple dish. The salmon slices were thick, fatty, and incredibly juicy, especially when dipped in soy sauce, where visible salmon fat floated—a sign of exceptional quality. For the grand finale, I ordered Zaru Soba with tempura. To our amazement, the soba noodles arrived in an ice bowl, a luxurious touch ensuring they stayed refreshingly cold. The dipping sauce was authentically flavorful, and the generous, expertly fried tempura was lightly battered, crispy on the outside, and tender within. Surprisingly, these theatrically presented meals came at a reasonable price. The attentive and efficient service added to our overall enjoyment, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next visit to Warakuya Japanese Restaurant.

The dishes served with simply freshly, beautifully presented and most importantly the taste of each dish is remarkably flavourful and unique. Especially the imported Oyster from Japan . The place is nicely decorated in Japanese ambience and the presence of the chef with great staff service , foc vallet parking , sum up an amazing omakase experience.
