Japanese cuisine in Penang

#penangspots

Robataya Izakaya at Queensbay Mall offers a spacious, warm Japanese dining ambiance that’s perfect for groups, families, or casual nights out. Located on Level 2 (Lot 2F-02), the interior blends traditional izakaya touches—lanterns, greenery, Japanese fans, even tatami-style seating—with modern décor.  Lighting is soft but bright enough to see the food clearly; the layout allows for decent privacy between tables even though the place is large.  The smell of charcoal grilling, fresh seafood, and sake adds sensory richness to the experience. Service is attentive, food presentation is polished. It’s not the cheapest Japanese option, but many feel the elevated setting and quality make it well worth the price.
