Ishiraku Izakaya — Restaurant in Johor

Hands down, this is one of the best Japanese dining experiences I've had in town. The extensive menu is impressive, offering a wonderful journey from exquisite raw delicacies to perfectly cooked classics, making it a perfect spot for any craving.

We were particularly delighted by several dishes:

1. The Avocado Prawn Sushi, and Unagi Sushi were absolute standouts—incredibly fresh, with perfect texture and balance of flavors. 2)The Salmon Shioyaki was cooked masterfully; the skin was crispy and the flesh remained moist and flaky, highlighting its fantastic freshness. *3) The Okonomiyaki arrived piping hot with a delightful crispy exterior giving way to a soft, savory center—exactly how it should be!

While the chawanmushi was pleasant, it simply had the tough task of standing next to so many other stellar dishes. Thank you for a wonderful meal. The quality and variety have certainly made you a new go-to restaurant for us. We can't wait to return to explore more...

The menu is quite extensive for a Japanese restaurant in Batu Pahat, which traditionally is famous for its local hawker food. It shows the Chef has the knowledge and skills to delivered a quality plates as in the photos. The Chef whom I believe has learnt his craft from a fine Japanese restaurant. The Nigiri is finely shape and the rice just perfect. Soft shell crab is crispy, Tempura Ebi is super crunchy, the okonomiyaki is acceptable. I asked for a Hamachi and salmon belly shashimi plate, though I can tell it is frozen Hamachi, it is still quite good. The salmon is fresh. The service staff although friendly and helpful, lack awareness and alerts. Can't expect too much in a small...

Generous serving of fresh sashimi with great prices and generous boss who served us attentively!

Chirashi Don came with heaps of 8-9 types of sashimi- maguro, tuna, salmon, clam, scallop, Uni, raw prawn and raw egg- with seaweed, super worth it for us to pay for the premium bowl at RM85. Super worth it!

Tamago is a tad sweet but still delicious! Avocado maki is fresh and served in large portions!

Boss saw there was only one miso soup in the set we ordered and offered a free one for me. He also offered us free cuts of Maguro after we asked about the cuts of the day.

Cosy experience left my tummy hearty and heart happy- loving out what the restaurant set out...
