WAKON JAPANESE
RESTAURANT
(non-halal food)
I was so excited to get the chance to enjoy the good food of Japanese cuisine which I hope Wakon has its own specialty I never know. Well, last 3 weeks ago my hubby and I went for the food review. We both were kinda rushing to come over despite in the between of 2 places in such short of 15 minutes to be done. But we glad we made it there.
Wakon Japanese restaurant is located at SS21/1A, Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya. The place is known as Damansara Uptown. It is a crowd place. Car parking is hard to find at such peak hours.
When we were stepping into the restaurant, we will be greeted by the simple and comfortable Japanese Izakaya-style interior. The interior keeps your mind to stay away from the business and stresses. You will feel like at home. Just like the Japanese spirit, Wakon Japanese restaurant having had the innovative spirit while keeping the Japanese tradition.
I am pleased to have the VIP air-conditioned room with its loving Japanese culture where I recalled back to my Japan trip back in the last of 9 years ago.
Izakaya, known as gastropub in Japan where Japanese men usually go for after working drinking place.
Being an Izakaya restaurant, Wakon has a very simple menu which mainly consists of grilled dishes such as Pork Neck Skewers, BBQ Squid, BBQ Chicken Wings and many more. On top of these, Wakon offers ala carte menu such as rice options, ramen and their signature such as Black Truffle Mixed with Udon.
I have snapped quite a few number of the food photos you will get by to see nearer for a better view. There are amazing foods you will never get escape off. They look awesome and beautiful food art. Okay let me to introduce to you to the each of them in details.
Sorry I have missed out on the Crab Roe Salad for my 1st food review. *Ahem* I am told that the dish is good for appetizer. Crab Roe Salad - 13.90 (No photo attached)
This Wasabi Gyoza serves me on the flowery plate where it has tempted me to eat soon because I am Gyoza lover, he he. Its topping is wasabi creamy with fish roe goes so well with its soft chewy of gyoza dumplings and it is spicy a bit only.

For BBQ lovers, you get to be a little patient for eating such good glorious BBQ and it worth your price for having them.
I got my favourite BBQ Pork Belly. The dish comes with good decor on each stick nicely. When I first tasted, it was too plain without tasting anything expect its belly part. So I get the chili pepper, it is called ‘Nanami Togarash’ to add onto the pork belly top and finally there it has got tasting in it and I felt good about it. My fellow bloggers come to try the same way and they have nodded yes. Ha ha.

Another BBQ Pork but it looks sweeter and sticky barbecue
sauce in glow that leaves me a lot of water-mouthing to try what it tastes like.
My husband and I were no idea what it is. So we enjoyed eating it. When I found
out that it is BBQ pork neck meat and I told my husband, we jaw-dropping “wow”, we had it
for the first time! Good meaty and truly rich in savory. Recommended.

A long medium sized of BBQ squid I will never eat and it
is not my favourite. Thanks to my hubby who has been a squid lover. And he does
enjoying the good grilled bbq and it’s chewable. The colour is quite attracting
in pieces when you take the each of them.

| BBQ Squid RM 18.90 |
I have never like Brinjal but as a food reviewer, I ought
to try every food I go for. Well, this BBQ brinjal is cooked well and merely
soft, ideally for old people to chew in easily. And the tasty is a worth for
its pricing as the brinjal have good combination of mixed ingredients where I
can feel the good fried garlic for topping. For those are haters of vegetable,
go for it. Worth a try, trust me! I even started to fall in love with brinjal
:D

One of the fine dining dishes is Black Truffle Mixed
Handmade Udon that brings it glorious food of Japanese cuisine. I know Black
Truffle is not that cheap and I even wanted to try to taste but with no chance. When I eat it, the tasty you will feel a bit sourish and good enough of mildly soft udon mixed all over with the black truffle and fish roe. I like the tasting of black truffle which is similarity to olive oil but its not too bitter one. I truly enjoy the truffle.

bite it, you will have the good cooked fish roe inside which is quite a bit
salty and its chicken wings has the good enough brings its new concept.
