Momotalo Yakiniku — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Made reservation for 7:30pm and was promptly led to the table by said time. Some pros and cons dining here.

Pros great ventilation with a big vent above to suck in smoke and oil delicious miso soup (choice of seafood, beef or chicken) served as paper steamboat - still wondering what paper that was, which didn't burn at the bottom under the fire nor turn soggy with the soup ox tongue (not the supreme one) was delightfully chewy without any marinade, only lemon juice the metal tray is consistently changed so you're grilling meat on clean trays most of the time which is something that's quite rare so this is commendable

Cons butter enoki mushroom came with onions and way too much water at the bottom. The taste is super diluted and can only taste onion, no other taste. Totally not worth paying RM17 for the portion and the taste. Don't bother ordering this. butter cabbage came with the same amount of water at the bottom of the tray. Cabbages and mushrooms actually produces water so there's no need for so much water to "cook". I poured away a lot of the water before cooking it on the charcoal pit. supreme harami ox short rib came with a super sweet marinade which spoiled the eating experience as you don't get to enjoy the taste of the meat on its own. It's a waste of a premium cut. tenderloin cubes came quite frozen and without knowing, placed it on to grill but the insides were still cold even after the outside is almost charred. Perhaps they should have defrosted it? It wasn't a pleasant experience eating beef that's hot and cooked on the outside but cold and frozen once you bite into it.

While overall enjoyable and slightly cheaper than Shin Nihon but I probably won't go back too soon since the total bill came up to about RM296 for two pax: 2 x normal ox tongue 1 X butter enoki 1 X butter cabbage 1 X eringi mushroom 1 X tenderloin 1 x supreme harami ox short rib 1 X cuttlefish 1 X cucumber cold plate 1 X paper seafood steamboat 2 x...

Join us of an amazing yakiniku experience at Momotalo Yakiniku, Desa Sri Hartamas. They are pork free yakiniku place.

You must try out their premium Kobe Beef, Supreme Harami OX Short Ribs, Supreme Karubi OX Short Ribs & Supreme OX Tongue. The quality of their is just surreal, we like it to be a little charred and under cooked, perfect for us. Pairing with their dipping sauce is a great choice too.

Their steamboat set with healthy vegetables is also a good option too. We like the homely vegetables soup, it balances out the heatiness from the grills.

Check out & enjoy Momotalo yakiniku, with your friends & family at Desa Sri Hartamas, KL.

Good food, the fish freshness is a real thing here. But services is not up to the par I expected. Ordered a Saba Fish Lunch Set and I requested the fish to be grilled by the staff. However, the fish is slight charred (for me, it is considered as over-cook as charred items is not good for health, carcinogenic).

While I was half day finished the fish, the waiter only come and ask me whether I want the special dipping sauce which I wasn't aware of (first time I dine here). This dipping sauce completed the whole meal! Why wasnt offered one to be begin with! I have half way eating the fish, u only offered the special dipping sauce?

I expecting more from a restaurant with more than 4.5 star.

Apart from food, others I'm not satisfied with it. Otherwise I only granted a 2 stars if it wasn't for the food.

Environment wise, I suggest owner to install a separate exhaust as the whole area is quite congested with the oily...
