Food Hunt: Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant, 1 Utama Shopping Centre


Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt where today ME & Kimmy had visited 1 Utama yet again for another shopping time as we know Isetan just opened its doors today. Apart from that, we also go for a movie before settling down for a dinner which we have chosen a Japanese Restaurant to dine in. We have not decide what to eat apparently until we reach this restaurant and Kimmy planned to give it a try. I am OK with it and we dine in there. Once we reach the restaurant, the seats were almost snapped up but luckily there's 1 or 2 tables available for seating. We sat down and we were immediately served with the menu. We browse through the menu and we are tempted by the menu as it contains lots of varieties of food for us to choose from including Ramen to Sushi's. There's set menu as well. Oh yea! You can also try out their steamboat (Nabe) as well as they served lots of different types as well.

The environment was good and it was clean. It took us about 10 minutes to look at the menu before we called for order. I've ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Don Set (RM17.00) while Kimmy ordered Salmon Chirashi Don Set (RM18.80). Now here's the dissapointing part. We have to wait for approximately 30 minutes before the food reached us but the weird thing is those who arrived late after us got their food first instead of us. We are not happy and keep on pushing the waiter and waitress on the status of our food. They said that some ingredients are still cooking and preparing and not ready to serve yet. I am pretty dissapointed and quite angry with them.

Let's talk about the food. After waiting for about 30 minutes, the food finally arrived and we whacked the food up quickly as we are hungry. The portion for both of out set is pretty average but that's for sure it's still not enough for me because I am a big eater. I must say the portion of the rice is big but the overall set itself looks small to average. The Teriyaki Chicken Don Set is nice and the taste is good too. The same goes to Kimmy's Salmon Chirashi Don Set. Both sets are delicious and irresistible. The Salad, Kimchi and Peas are nice too but the portion is pretty small. The green tea taste is just normal and nothing so special about it and it's free flowing too.

Salmon Chirashi Don Set (RM18.80)

The bill came and we have to pay a total of RM41.55 including 10% Service Charge and 6% Government Tax as well. I must say the price is pretty expensive based on the set we get as it's not too huge. But luckily the quality of the food is there and it's overall nice. But be aware that do not go during crowded times as you might need to wait for a long time for the food to arrive and it does test your patience. Even the waiter and waitress will tell you to wait as well. I would still recommend you to come over here to try out the food and I am coming back to try out their sushi's next time. Enjoy!
