Yuzu Japanese Restaurant

WHY GO

Its central location in The Gardens at Mid Valley City makes it an easy stop for shoppers who are after well-executed Japanese dishes in a comfortable setting.

TATLER TIPS

Fresh, imported Japanese produce is never cheap but Yuzu’s prices are very competitive compared to many other Japanese restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.

Be sure to try the signature volcano sushi roll, which comes with an effusive “lava” of tangy mayonnaise dolloped on top. For some delicious action at the table, order the Wagyu beef yakiniku, which comprises thinly sliced well marbled Wagyu beef quickly fried at the table. Alternatively, go for the prized

Matsuzaka beef.

There is an extensive list of desserts. Check out the green tea ice cream, which comes in myriad permutations, including topped with freshly cut apple, mango and watermelon.
