Take Zen Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Pahang

We enjoyed a vibrant and fresh sashimi platter, beautifully presented with generous cuts of salmon, tuna, crab sticks, and other seafood delights. The salmon sashimi was buttery and smooth, while the ikura (salmon roe) added a salty pop that balanced the rich flavors. The crab sticks were pleasantly sweet and firm.

In the second dish, a colorful chirashi bowl showcased a great variety including tamago (Japanese omelet), tender shrimp, and octopus on perfectly seasoned sushi rice. The freshness of the seafood truly stood out, and the accompanying wasabi gave a satisfying kick.

Both dishes had eye-catching presentation and great portion sizes, making them a solid choice for anyone craving authentic Japanese flavors.

The staff were very friendly and attentive, and they took the time to explain each type of seafood and its flavor profile, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable and educational.

Hi Take Zen. First time dine in. The ambient lighting & relaxing music are the key reason that I will come back again, especially after a day of stressed work. You only have a single waitress which is a kind of a drawdown in terms of service. The karaage chicken is spot on which perfectly cooked with juicy inside and crunchy on the outside. Perhaps the ramen can be less soggy (maybe soak in colder water) and I suggest the soup can be tasteful instead. RM13 for 2pcs of salmon sushi is pricy but at least they're fresh. Soft shell crab is the worst dish amongst all. I don't know why the wasabi less kick. Maybe my taste bud over the limit 😂Overall, I'll rate 7/10 due to plenty of rooms for...

A delightful dining experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely fresh and flavourful — from the beautifully presented sushi boat to the perfectly seasoned hot dishes. Each plate was not only satisfying but also a feast for the eyes.

The staff were warm, attentive, and made sure everything was served just right. Service was fast yet thoughtful. they made us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the meal.
