Ko Ya Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Kajang Municipal Council

Love this place! It's a family-owned restaurant with a vast variety of dishes (the unagi fried rice tastes awesome). They also have their own homemade salmon fish skin! It's quite unlike the commercially sold ones as it also has some meat on it. They also offer Nagano Group's yuzu umeshu (yuzu plum wine) - an absolute must-try!

Nested in Bandar Mahkota servicing surrounding residential. The owner seems to know all it's regular customers. Prices were good 20-50% cheaper than any restaurants in KL, probably due to...

Japanese cuisine tends to have a stronger flavor, but what impressed me most is how they keep it true to the original taste of the ingredients. Sometimes, what makes food truly delicious isn’t just the dish itself, but the way it remembers your preferences and habits—that’s what makes it extra special. Personally, I love it here and highly...
