Xenri no tsuki

Japanese cuisine is best at Xenri no tsuki. Both lunch and dinner. Both in HK and KL.

This place has a lot to offer other than its usual authenticity and freshness of its ingredients.

Their service is always excellent (the floor manager in HK branch was very attentive and professional) and the low-key quiet atmosphere further enhances the entire dining experience.

Three months ago when we first dined in at this restaurant in Causeway Bay, Alex felt in love with it instantly. The sashimi tasted remarkably fresh as if it was slaughtered just before serving. The menu selection wasn't extensive but managed to focus on their few selection of good dishes.

This is the branch at Jalan P. Ramlee, opposite Shangri-la Hotel.

The food tasted just as good as HK!

Japanese garden at the front entrance

Nicely decorated interior



A welcome appetiser for what I believed is braised tofu and clam.
This is one of the best dishes I have ever tasted in my life.
The flavour was very delicate.



Watermelon and plum juices



Braised black cod



Deep fried chicken - Alex's favourite - super tender!



Dobin mushi - clear broth fortified with prawn, fish, chicken and mushroom.



Japanese rice and a morsel of black cod



Chicken yakitori - super tender but could be smaller!

If you have noticed it, we did not order any sashimi or tempura because Alex was still recovering from a bad diarrhoea. Nevertheless, we had a good time eating out together at Xenri! ^_^
