Wakon Japanese Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings

I walked in not knowing what to expect. The place was very attractive from the outside with bright shining lights, a giant lantern and bamboo designs. The interior was also very appropriate for its Japanese theme with dim lighting and dark walls. It is also air-conditioned. I ordered the two-person set after spending a fair bit of time with the menu. It just made more economic sense as their other dishes were already about RM30 per dish. The set came at the price of RM 99 (without tax) with a variety of dishes,which was also a great idea if you want a bit of everything. (The picture in the business page is the exact set I had) I loved the food but the one thing I must recommend is chicken wing with mentaiko. So surprisingly juicy, tasty and full of "pop". Staff service was good and were very willing to make suggestions when we were stumped. It is a little unfortunate that they chose not to use Japanese fragrant rice as it would definitely complete the Japanese dining experience.

Stumbled upon this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the authentic Japanese food. I really like all the dishes that were served, they were all so good. But I'd especially recommend the Mentaiko Chicken Wing, where the chicken wing has been deboned and stuffed with Mentaiko. The interior of the restaurant is done in a very Japanese-like set up and gives off a very soothing atmosphere. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying good food. There's even a private room at the back of the restaurant if you're coming in a group, but you might have to make a reservation in advance. The service is pretty good too. The staff are polite and helpful, one of them even offered to debone the BBQ Sanma for us. We ordered the promotional set menu (@ RM99++), so I'm not too sure of their regular menu prices. But I'd imagine it to be about slightly higher than the regular run of the mill Malaysian Japanese restaurants. I definitely will be returning to try more of their menu.
