My salmon is nice, quality is good. Atmosphere wise could be noisy despite being in partitioned room. Waiters are professional.

Updated: Restaurant cared about customer's experiences with the food and called for service recovery, we gave the restaurant our 3rd visit and did not fail this time and food was great, changed my review to 4 star for the care and sincerity. Previously: Generally, the food is good, but one star for selling me a botan for 45RM and not fresh!

Went for a big lunch along with a perfect combo of Umeshu. There was a line and we got a phone call when it was our turn. The quality of the products here are the best I’ve had since we arrived in Malaysia, it was better than the Japanese restaurants we went to in Singapore as well. I am very happy about coming here and it’s just marvelous to be able to enjoy proper quality fish and eel as they have it. Saved to favorites for when I come back here in the future, so I can show my friends. <3 Thank you so much!!!

I've seen many Rakuzen outlets before but this is the first time trying it out. The atmosphere, food and service are all good. Worth the price paid. A slight dissatisfaction is that the photo doesn't look like the dish. The portion looks more in the photo unlike the real one.

The dining experience was nice and comfortable. The service was good as well. Food quality is great, the salmon tasted fresh and the autumn season sushi roll is delicious. Had the highball shochu soda, a good and tasty drink that pair well with my dinner.Would definitely come again.

Love the attention to detail here. The wet towel. Bryan was always checking on our needs. The dishes was good and still very value for money. Definitely recommend. Quieter during public holidays or dinner time.
