Food Review : Ryoma Japanese Restaurant

Located along Jalan Tanjung Tokong, Ryoma is housed in an old refurnished bungalow and boasts of an authentic in-house Japanese chief chef. Incidentally, the website seems quite outdated compared to the actual menu provided at the restaurant. Make sure to flip through all the pages of the "real" menu if you go there - it has some hilarious captions in addition to the pictures of the food there.

Must be very nice, dear!

After entertaining ourselves with the captions, we decided to get down to the real business of ordering our food. The prices were quite steep if you compare it to "fast-food" Japanese restaurants like Sushi King or Sakae Sushi. The service was quite good however, we were given a private room and served with ladies fingers as an appetizer, free of charge!

We finally settled on the Ryoma Gozen bento set - the main attraction being the 4 blocks of raw salmon and one deep-fried salmon. It also comes with teriyaki chicken, vege tempura and salad. Since we chose the set, it also came with a bowl of rice, miso soup and chawanmushi. The price for this was RM48++. It was quite worth it to order the set. Ordering the dishes individually would have cost us much more as the chawanmushi cost RM10 if ordered ala carte style.

We also ordered the kake ramen for RM16++ (I tried to change the ramen noodles to udon instead but it would cost us RM6 charge for changing noodles, so no way!). The amount of food was just nice for the both of us and the green tea comes free of charge as well. The ambience of the restaurant is really nice especially when it starts to get dark. Remember to take a walk around the restaurant outside after dinner - it's a good way to exercise as well as enjoy the lights and scenery outside.
