Aoyama the Green Room was closed after being in operations for a rather long time. Famous not so much for the usual japanese ala-carte items but for their omakase (chef's menu) and fusion dishes, i hadn't had a chance to try the chef's menu before they closed. Well, it looks like they have opened up again, minus the Green Room, although i never did ask whether they were the same people, the fusion japanese theme can be seen throughout the menu.
I would think that lunch is too early of an event to indulge in an omakase, which should start from RM100 plus onwards. Instead a bento set for RM36++, should do the deed. The tuna with lady fingers starts the palate up.
The bento set really gives you a bit of everything to try.
From the top left, you have another sushi roll with crabstick in the middle with fried seaweed dressed in spicy mayo sauce and a skewer of grilled saba fish.
Moving to the top right; a tori karaage or simply put: fried chicken pieces, skin and meat with a tartar sauce.
As we head down to bottom left; there is two pieces of hand rolled sushi and a very talked about animal; marinated octopus.
Lastly, the carbohydrates of the meal, kim chi fried rice. Rather mushy and unlike the chinese version where you get to see every grain of rice but this is quite comforting to eat with the mild taste of kim chi.
All in all, a satisfying lunch.

Verdict: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. Another decent japanese restaurant to visit in the vicinity.

Oohhh... Jenn's favourite stuff! I shall keep this blog away from her eyes or else she'll literally drag me here

This used to be my favourite Jap restaurant back in the days when I was roughly your age. I used to love ordering the tuna tetaki. But since Chef Edwin left the place, food sorta went away with him. Hardly gone back. But Reno looks good though
qm: well one can only ponder how food was like a few years ago!
why are you eating paul the octopus?!! hehe
I think can't be halal, but I can't be sure. Maybe pork-free only since I heard from a Malay friend commented that Halal food cannot have raw fish (for whatever reasons) and even Sushi King is not halal, but pork free.
