[JB, MALAYSIA] Kyu Izakaya serves up quality Japanese food in a very cozy setting and it is not too expensive as compared to the Japanese food of similar quality in SG!
The Chirashi Don (RM58) came in a rather small portion, but the seafood ingredients served are all of great quality. All the seafood ingredients had their individual sweetness, and I like how the octopus wasn't tough. However, I wish that the slices could be a little thicker.
The Sake Mental Maki (RM28) was as rich as expected, due to the large amount of mentaiko given! The torch flame added extra smokiness to the dish.
The Tempura Soba (RM28) was also a delight, as the tempura batter was light and crispy. It was well fried as it didn't feel too greasy. Soba noodles had a good bite, though I wished they didn't serve on ice as my noodles were soaking in water towards the end and made the flavour rather diluted.
Nonetheless, they are still quality dishes that I will come back to if I crave some Japanese food. Great for date night and some small celebrations!
