This is a Japanese Fancy restaurant. The environment is superb, nice place to chill out. The whoole restaurants are partitionedd in cubicle form. They have:
• small cubicle - for couples;
• medium cubicle - 4-6 ppl;
• larger cubicle - 8-10 ppl;

there are lots of "hidden doors"


I didn't really get to explore the place, 'cos I afraid that I might disturb other guests. Anyway, here's how our seat looked like:

Our seatings

a platform (i.e. table) is attached to 1 corner and leaves a L-shape seating area.

WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP ON THE WALL!!!


My thoughts:
Nothing great about the food, and it's a bit over priced. However, it's a nice place for a guy to take his girlfriend/wife, for a nice date, anniversary or birthday dinner. For business pleasure, you can consider bringing your clients too.

Here's what we ordered:
C Salmon Roll



Yakiniku Zen



Wasabi & Friend



Facts
While we were here that night, we noticed there were lots of reservations made earlier, and there were some ques at the entrance. Therefore, it's better you call up for a reservation, before you come.

Omitsu Koshi 三武@ Damansara Jaya

Everytime I dine at Omitsu Koshi, I always imagined myself actually dinning at one of the restaurant in Kyoto. I have not been to Japan at all, and yet this shop just gives me that fantasy. LOL~

I wish I can go to Japan once in my life time!

^0^

My thoughts:
I like this place. It's one of my favourite Japanese Restaurant that I frequently visit. The environment, the set up, the people working here, the food... they are just perfect the way they are for me. This is also one of the few Japanese Restaurants, where you get to order Kari Raisu (Japanese Curry Rice). This is consider pretty rare in KL/PJ.

Dish: Katsu Curry Set

I'll just go crazy for this!!! ^0^ OMAIYO!!!


Dish: Tempura Sushi Ramen Set
Price: RM 20.00

Sushi Tomo 壽司•友 @ SS2

Sushi Tomo had gain some recognition since it started business a while back.

The owner is a Korean, however, I think the wife is a Japanese. Very unique duo (if you know what I mean)! ^0^

Facts:
I believed Sushi Tomo is the 1st Sushi restaurant, introduced "touch-screen" menu in Klang Valley... pretty cool!


digital menu - with Touch Screen features

They are open for lunch too.

Set Lunch Promo.

According to my buddy - Seth.Frost, many of his gal frens, like his GF and my GF... likes to go Sushi Tomo, besides the nice Sushi there... another reason is to check out this chef - a young good looking lad (-_-"), with talented skills in japanese cuisine. We believed he's the owner's son (but again we could be wrong).

To be honest, I stopped going there for awhile, as the last visit, he wasn't there, and the food quality dropped. We thought that's it. However, recently Seth.Frost went, and ensured us that the food is still nice. Perhaps the "hensumu"* chef wasn't around. hehehehehe~
