This Japanese restaurant is always buzzing with customers, especially during lunch hours—it’s a popular spot for office gatherings and family meals.
I was seated near the window entrance, which can feel warm, but I noticed they’ve recently done some light renovations, adding a wall divider near the entrance.
They’ve upgraded ordering system—you can place orders via QR code, making it convenient to browse the menu and availability without needing to call a server.
I went with a set meal that came with deep-fried flounder topped with mashed daikon and a sweet teriyaki sauce, crispy chicken karaage, and a bowl of miso soup.
The flounder was the star dish—the mashed daikon paired deliciously with the sweet sauce and tasted amazing with the fluffy white rice (I wish more).
The chicken karaage, though crispy, was a too salty this time, however it’ll be perfect with a lighter touch of seasoning next time. Overall, it was a delightful lunch.
Kthxbye.

I want to try their new lunch menu promo—Set B. I WhatsApped them to check if it was available, they’re quick and polite responsive but sadly, it was already sold out. Hence, I ended up going with Set C instead.
Set C came with sashimi (red snapper, maguro, salmon, and butter fish), rice, miso soup, and prawns. The sashimi was fresh overall, but the red snapper slices had skin that was tough and basically unchewable.
The prawns were small, peeled and deveined, deep fried, then tossed in their house-made mayo. The mayo was on the sweet side—balanced with the miso soup. All in all, it was a decent lunch set meal.
Kthxbye.

I'm intrigued by their lunch menu promotion after my several times of pleasant dining experience.
This time, I went with the Nigiri set, which included a set of Chicken Karaage, and I added a Miso soup.
The Nigiri set featured an assortment of sushi, vegetable maki, and tamagoyaki. My favorite was the Hamachi sushi.
I was wowed by the Chicken Karaage as it was perfectly deep-fried, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
They're currently offering a Merdeka promotion featuring salmon and curry rice, available for both dine-in and takeaway.
Kthxbye.

Their lunch set promotion featuring the lavish Chirashi Don with deep-fried chicken are making me mouthwatering!
The Chirashi Don is showcasing thick and fresh slices of butterfish, salmon belly, maguro, tamagoyaki and a small raw prawn.
Although the raw prawn may not meet my standard of fresh, however the deep-fried chicken is substantial and delicious.
I can't finish it all, thus I asked the service crew for a takeaway. Overall, I'd a pleasant and satisfying dining experience.
Kthxbye.

This Japanese restaurant offers a reasonably priced lunch set, with options to add miso soup or upgrade to garlic fried rice for an additional charge.
I ordered Lunch Set A, it included Sashimi Moriawase, medium sized chicken katsu, steamed white rice with three pieces of pickles and lotsa shredded carrots.
The Sashimi Moriawase featuring three thick cuts of the fresh catch of the day; red snapper, along with one piece each of maguro and salmon.
I like the chicken katsu. It was perfectly deep fried with panko, doesn't have the odd taste, crispy and paired well with the sour plum sauce and white sesame.
The restaurant have two operation hours, the first is open until 0215pm (last call is 0200pm) before they resuming business in the evening until 0900pm.
Kthxbye.

Kaisen Futomaki RM 38+ 10% tax
Not bad, good portion of 3 types of fish
Tai 's texture is kasar a bit than Maguro, they are both Tuna family. Salmon is smooth texture.
For me, if can add in pickled radish chunck or cucumber chunck to present more significant layer of texture, not shredded one, will be better.
As usual, the set lunch here is very worth, love Set A so much!!!
Sauce heavy taste punya style

But now not so sad coz Orion comfort my stomach😊😊
Monday also open ya.
Orion's price is expensive usually

Big big portion!
RM 28 Look at the rose sashimi,9 slices 😀 & the thick chicken katsu. But personally i still prefer to have 3 thick slices of Sashimi compared to 9 thin slices of rose sashimi, coz texture is different
RM 19 Salmon nice, 3 big pcs salmon meat, with big big rectangular size tofu (equal to 8 square pcs ), my fren couldn't finish.
There are Nishiki Tables, chairs , bento plate & has taste of Old Nishiki here, the atmosphere of Nishiki
