The place is Isetan Restaurant inside The Gardens Mall, a hidden gem within the department store that offers an authentic Japanese dining experience. Unlike the bustling mall outside, stepping into the restaurant area feels calm and refined, almost like being transported to a dining street in Japan.
The selection is wide—ranging from sushi and sashimi to teppanyaki, ramen, and seasonal Japanese dishes. What I love most is the quality and presentation; dishes are crafted with care, and the flavors stay true to Japanese traditions. The atmosphere is serene, making it perfect for a leisurely lunch or dinner, whether alone or with company.
It’s a spot that combines convenience with quality, proving that you don’t have to leave the mall to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine.
Travel Tips & How to Get There
• Getting There: Located inside Isetan at The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City. Accessible via KTM Komuter (Mid Valley station), car, or ride-hailing.
• Must-Try: The sashimi platter for freshness, or the teppanyaki sets if you prefer a hot, hearty meal. Seasonal menu items are also worth exploring.
• Special Tip: If you’re visiting during lunch, look out for bento set deals—they usually offer great variety at good value. The atmosphere is quieter than most mall restaurants, making it a good choice for business lunches or relaxed dining.
• Price Range: Around RM40–80 per person depending on your order; premium items like sashimi sets are on the higher end.
• Best Time to Visit: Weekday afternoons for a calm dining experience, or evenings if you’re planning a longer meal.
