Gokan Maru Japanese Restaurant MyTOWN — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Take a chance on this restaurant! Food was great! Everything was piping hot and the portions are GENEROUS, not just the rice but they did not skimp on the meat!!

We had the Value Meal (oyakodon, teriyaki chicken and karaage) and it was so worth it! Better than other well-known Japanese chains in the area imo (price wise and portion wise). Non-oyakodon meals also had generous portions of egg, mushroom, onion thrown in for added deliciousness! Food arrived fast!

Located just further down the alley between canton boy and decathlon, it’s quite secluded, thus a cosy and chill atmosphere! Very izakaya style with cute designs!

For a generous, well made meal, try out this restaurant. FYI I’m not paid for this review. I just wish more people know bout this place to keep it going. Would drop by again if...

Agedashi tofu: 0/10 (They completely forgot this order. The funniest part is, we were the only customers there 😭😂) Kushiyaki: 10/10 (I don’t really eat beef but this was so goood. The cook and seasoning...

I ordered tori katsu chicken rice and I was shocked. No, not because it was delicious. But the Japanese curry that was supposed to be sweet and umami flavoured were nowhere to be found. I'm not sure if Japanese curry is supposed to taste like Malay or Indian curry. Because that's what it tastes like. Second thing, on the menu it states that the Japanese curry also includes mozzarella cheese as one of its ingredients. Same story again, the cheese is nowhere to be found. But thankfully the meal tastes great. But still, it doesn't taste like the Japanese curry that I'm used to. Service is great, food was prepared quite fast. Considering we are...
