Tamaruya Honten Steakhouse — Local services in Kuala Lumpur

Honestly as a picky eater, i don’t often make raving reviews but this place definitely deserves a LOT OF LOVE! Food is so good like so so good. Beef is tender and cooked to perfection. if you order the steak (i ordered the saikoro steak) fyi you can switch the fries to rice iykyk.

Does the place seem a bit empty / dead? Yes, but that’s lalaport for you but what really matter is, is the food good?!! And the answer is YESSS!

The price charged was definitely lower than the quality of food we had gotten, but bottomline is the food is so good!!!

Also, service is good, the Japanese lady was very attentive, if you didn’t get what you wanted you just need to communicate what you wanted - like chopsticks rather than silverware, change fries to rice bla bla.

Downside - menu is limited but that’s when you know it’s good, means they know what they’re good at! It’s better than a jack of all trades but master of none, cause they definitely mastered the Saikoro steak and Nikujaga.

At the storefront, there was only one staff member who kept shouting to the kitchen staff. It seemed odd, as it would be simpler to walk to the kitchen and talk to them directly rather than yelling across the room with customers right in front. Moreover, none of the staff, including kitchen staff wore gloves or masks, which...

My friend and I had the lunch specials as advertised on their banner. I ordered the noodles with fried chicken. When it arrived there were no visible signs of the fried chicken. I asked the waitress and she said they decided to chopped the chicken into small pieces as per their feedback that the pieces of chicken were too big to bite. Upon checking there were no bite size pieces of chicken but what looks like breaded crumbs. I told the waitress and she had a look and said she would tell the chef and bring me some chicken. It didn't happen. Anyway I put it down to a bad choice I made and would never stepped in to the restaurant again. My companion had the prawn dish which he was disappointed as it was over fried but at least it resembles the...
