Okonomi
Our favourite specialist okonomiyaki restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, Okonomi is led by chef Takeshi Wada which serves a number of authentic variations including the modanyaki which is made with noodles, different from Hiroshima style okonomiyaki which is normally layered, while modanyaki is mixed together in the batter and fried, a definite must try. There are a number of dishes that hits the spot including their delicious tofu as well as pork belly omelette.

Tokyo Teppan
Although teppanyaki is a dish that can be enjoyed delivered, its something you can’t compare when hot off the grill. With a range of different cuts from beef, chicken, seafood, or noodles, the hot iron plate servings are something best enjoyed fresh. The great thing about Tokyo Teppan is that they have a number of bentos perfect for a simple but delectable lunch.
