Food Hunt: Nippon Yataimura, 1 Utama

Welcome back folks,

We are back again for yet another food hunt action and this time, me & Kimmy had decided to give it a try at Nippon Yataimura located at the New Wing of 1 Utama. It was a nicely decorated restaurant will totally Japanese "Feel" and a lot of couples would surely enjoy it based on the environment as shown on the pictures. We had our dinner here after watching movie.

After we sat down, we have waited for 5 minutes before the waitress could serve us and brought us the menu. The service there was very poor indeed and I am not satisfy with their service. Even, I have ordered green tea and yet it took about 15 minutes before coming to us. It was a totally poor service there and after I've ordered the green tea I've asked for a cold green tea to be refilled but they came and refill the hot one for me. So far, I can say their service sucks big time and thumbs down towards their service.


The menu meanwhile were not much choices especially in the rice & sushi menu. This restaurant serves more varieties and concentrate into japanese style mee like udon etc. According to Kimmy, he told alexleow-kimmy.com that their mee sucks big time and with that, I never ordered mee and ordered rice instead. I've ordered Chicken Teriyaki Bento with Green Tea meanwhile Kimmy ordered Unadon with Green Tea (see pictures).



Let's go straight to the comments. The Chicken Teriyaki Bento (rice) sucks big time. Wow! I never critic such a bad impression before but it really dissapoints me. The chicken was tasteless and only I can taste the roasted chicken skin only and I was like eating a raw chicken. In fact, not only that, the rice also sucks big time. It was very oily and too much garlic which makes the taste feel 'yuck' (you know what I mean). Very bad meal for this one. For the green tea, it was just normal and nothing special. It seems the hot green tea is better than the cold one because the cold one is a bit bitter compared to the hot green tea. For Kimmy, she ordered the Unadon (fish rice) and the taste according to her is not so good. The fish is pretty sweet and fresh too but the rice was very sticky and not up to the standard. She also commented that the display on the menu shows that the bowl of rice should come with a large egg but it came otherwise.

Overall, my dish was very dissapointed and please do not order the Chicken Teriyaki Bento when you are here. It sucks big time. For the Unadon, it was still acceptable but the rice is still pretty sticky for this one and not much ketchup / sauce being poured into the rice and this makes the rice pretty normal and plain. The price meanwhile was pretty OK but it's really not value for money. The portion is very small and it's really not worth paying that much amount of money. The Unadon & Chicken Teriyaki Bento was priced RM17.00 each and green tea is RM1.00 each and including tax is about RM41.00. I read through some of the blog previously and some say the restaurant is very nice, but seriously I don't see any nice food there including the mee and the rice. So, will you still go and try? Think about it! Good Luck! :) MY FOOD & DRINKS RATING: 2/5 ; KIMMY FOOD & DRINKS RATING: 2.5 / 5
