Munakata must trys are salmon sashimi, teppanyaki king oyster mushroom, prawn tempura(not oily) and chawanmushi. Whereas Komura must trys includes teppanyaki enoki mushroom, teppanyaki scallop, agedashi tofu and fresh fruit platter(nice after a filling meal).

unagi Kabayaki(grilled eel coated with sweet soya sauce), wish it is served warmer, but nice as it is not too sweet like those served in some restaurant.

Gyu Saikora Steak(beef steak japanese style), like the well fried cabbage, the beef is standard.

Gohan & Misoshiru (steamed rice and miso soup), rice is authentic japanese rice, soup is tastyyy

Tori Tsukune Yaki(skewered chicken meat ball coated with savoury sauce), it is piping hot when served, nice although i find they could have mixed in quite a bit of flour into the chicken mixture.

seasonal fruits, green tea ice cream with red bean, and vanilla ice cream. ice cream melt way too fast.

inside the restaurant, not crowded, just a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy food.

looking out from Munakata, KFC building just across.

Overall, love this place which although serve a limited selected of japanese food for their RM60++ buffet (increase to RM70++ from 6 December 2009 onwards), are non-adultered japanese food which is a very satisfying meal. I much prefer this simple quality japanese food restaurant over jogoya/tenji anyway.
