Japanese food for lunch

#penangspots

Robataya Izakaya at Queensbay Mall, Penang, offers a spacious and warmly lit ambiance that feels both elegant and welcoming.  The décor features Japanese touches such as lanterns, wooden fixtures, greenery, fans, and a mix of standard table seating with tatami-style areas.  Their menu is large and varied: expect robatayaki (charcoal-grilled skewers), sashimi, sushi, teppanyaki, donburi bowls like the Sanriku Don, and creative small plates.  Signature dishes such as Grilled Salmon Belly, Chicken Tsukune Skewers, and Akakara Roll often get praise for flavour and presentation.  Prices tend to lean toward premium, reflecting its high-quality ingredients and generous portions.  Overall, it’s a solid choice for Japanese food lovers looking for flavour, variety, and a comfortable dining experience in the mall.
