Kyrin Sushi (Georgetown) — Restaurant in George Town

Located at a cosy nook opposite Gama supermarket, it is tastefully decorated. The food served is premium standard Japanese cuisine. Their presentation and serving size rival and sometimes exceed that of other equivalent Japanese restaurants. The only drawback is that they should expand to the neighbouring unit as well to accomodate more diners. My favourite White Tuna(Shiro Maguro)Sashimi came fresh, plump and flavourful at just the right temperature. For a more filling choice, opt for Shake Tataki Maki and Unagi Tataki Maki. Between the two choices, go for the Unagi Tataki Maki which comes with avocado. The Seared Hotate serving is a bit small yet I give them points for a close to sashimi natural taste complemented by sauces, roe and seaweed. Avocado Milk is actually a smoothie served in a tall glass. Their small space means no room for a kaiten belt. I don't mind since I prefer my sushi made fresh. Therefore I was most impressed by their Ebikko Hana Maki salmon sushi. I find Ikura Maki too salty so I stick to the Hana Maki which has been my favourite when I tried it some years ago at a major sushi chain.If you order hot green tea, it is refillable as the wait staff will periodically check on you. The standard Chawan Mushi comes with faux shark fin. It is served in a dainty ceramic vessel. Subsequent visits afforded me to enjoy the deliciously smooth Avocado Strawberry drink, sumptuous Maguro Tataki and tender, thin slices of tasty Aburi Gyuniku. To avoid the crowd or having to book in advance, dine in on a weekday evening as their small unit can be inundated during busy weekends. Be patient and you will be attended to. The food quality...

Walked past here and just came in impromptu without a reservation. Initially they told us we will have to wait for half an hour. As we were about to leave, they seated us due to some reservation cancellation.

We ordered a ramen, curry pork tonkatsu rice, grilled char siew, signature oyster with uni, and signature Chirashi Don (the one with uni).

With the exception of the ramen, which was lackluster, the rest of the food were quite good. Ramen broth was not good. Go somewhere else if you want to eat ramen. The Japanese instant noodle ramen will taste better.

The oyster with uni was fresh and big and juicy. No wonder it’s the most popular item on the menu. The sashimi slices on the chirashi don were fresh; only complaint is there are too few slices. Some of the Pork tonkatsu slices were a bit tough but taste wise was okay. The curry had a bit of Indian spice taste. Grilled Char Siew was excellent too.

Overall, the food is good and I’ll come back again. Four stars was due to the disappointing ramen, and also the long waiting time for the food and the sequence that they were served. The oyster which was supposed to be an appetizer came last after we had finished all our...

I entered this restaurant with a happy spirit at about 6pm but as the clock ticked, my high spirit went lower.

I ordered one tempura soba but was told they have run out of soba but was happy that they replaced it with their signature ramen.

After half an hour, nothing came. After 40 minutes, nothing. After an hour, my noodles came but not my tempura! Where had it gone? I waited for 10 minutes but the tempura was nowhere to be seen!

It wasn't until my noodles had doubles in size and the soup had turned cold, and after a lots complaint that the store manager decided to change the noodles for me. Unfortunately, when it came it was nothing more than changing the soup for the same bowl of noodles. The noodles were still the same cold noodles.

I won't dispute that food here tasted good but their service and the guarantee of fresh food is not there.

Such substandard business practise is just like cheating the customers of their money's worth for a meal.

I do hope for this store to buck up and be responsible for the quality of their food...
