Deon’s birthday was like a month ago, and I have actually planned a birthday dinner bash on his actual birthday together with his family since his parents are leaving for holiday soon.
We went dinner at Tokyo G to celebrate.
And from what I gathered, this place was previously owned by Shushi Groove.
I always find their renovations and decorations looking very “cool” from the outside and I can’t help to notice how neon green it is.
Wee… I finally get try out Tokyo G and I actually have high expectation from their renovations and of course their modern twist to the conventional Japanese food.
Our dinner starts of with Chawamushi, which I personally think has strong egg taste but a little overcooked.
As such, the steamed egg texture is rough and hard.
Dillon ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry (RM14.90) which in my opinion tasted pretty standard.
The curry sauce looks thick and flavourful but not exactly the yummiest, while the breaded chicken appears rather dry.
Deon on the other hand ordered the Ebi Don Buri (RM15.90).
He is an ebi tempura lover, hence it is not a surprise that he ordered the same this time.
So far, this is the dish that interest me the most. but I would love it more if the sauce and egg are on the savoury side instead.
What I also love about the dish is when they added the crunchy tempura flakes in the rice.
It seriously added the crunchy texture to the rice dish.
I ordered the Mayonnaise Dream Roll (RM10.90) to share.
I love how they cleverly assemble this. It is made with raw salmon in the center wrapped with seaweed and rice at the bottom, topped with special sauce. I think the sauce are made of thousand island, mayonnaise and cheese in it.
The Deep Fried Gyoza was quite a disappointment to me.
As usual, this is mainly caused by the thick dough and overly cooked meat texture.
Somewhere, somehow the taste and texture of the entire gyoza just didn’t mix along well.
If anyone is looking for THICK slices of sashimi, Tokyo.G is the place to go.
But be careful at what you are wish for as thick slices of sashimi can sometimes be really gross to swallow.
Yup, this is the case when we order the Sashimi Combo (RM29.90).
Each slice is really thick, so thick that I felt gross chewing the tuna slices.
The thickness of the tuna slices was like around 1.3cm each. Grrrr.. scary!
The Ziggy Roll (RM12.90) is one of the dish that I didn’t try as I was busy chewing the sashimi and no one else except Deon’s mum eats sashimi. So the entire dish is left for both of us to handle.
The Godzilla Roll (RM15.90) is a long roll filled with ebi tempura in the center wrapped with rice, salmon slices and sweet mango ! I love how the mango and thousand island compliments the dish.
Deon’s dad loves teriyaki chicken, however they don’t serve big chunky teriyaki chicken.
The only thing teriyaki chicken they serve is the Teriyaki Chicken Roll (RM8.90).
The chili flakes on the top is too overpowering to the extend I can hardly taste any chicken taste.
I would say the overall ambience of the place is great except the fact that we can’t lean back but the food needs improvements.
Also, facing green neon lighted walls caused headaches and discomfort while eating.
Another thing that they may want to improve on is the pacing of their services as it is seriously slow. The only saving grace is their staff’s friendliness.
