We happened to be in this mall one public holiday and decided to have lunch at none other than our usual 'go to' Japanese restaurant in KLCC, Yuzu Japanese Restaurant @ Suria KLCC.
Since we were there in the afternoon, it meant we could finally get to savour their affordable lunch set menus...yay! ^_^ We've always enjoyed their dinner sets but we've been eyeing their value set lunches for a while now but weren't able to have any since we were never there in the afternoon. Their lunch sets, available from 11.30 am to 2.30 pm (I think it's daily since the menu didn't say Monday - Friday), are much cheaper (RM28 - RM56) than the dinner sets.
Our choice for the first set was the Saba Shioyaki Bento @ RM38. It had so many dishes and sides that even a big-eater will be pleased. A smaller-eater may need a bit of willpower to polish off everything.
It came with salmon sashimi, tempura prawns and vegetables, chawanmushi, salad, miso soup, some pickled vegetables, rice and fresh fruits (of watermelon, honeydew and grapes). In the end, I wasn't able to finish all the sides.
The main of Saba with Shio (BBQ mackerel with salt) was nicely grilled rendering moist-enough flesh with a lovely charred flavour.
Our other set was....what else but the Unagi Bento @ RM56. Ok, this one maybe not as cheap-lah if we were to compare it directly with the dinner sets which also offer unagi (between RM59 - RM69) with slightly different variations.
The grilled unagi in teriyaki sauce was served with some shredded omelette. The unagi is always good here...it ranks among some of our all-time favourite unagi.
It also featured similar side dishes as the one above with salmon sashimi, tempura prawns and vegetables, chawanmushi, salad, miso soup, pickled vegetables, rice and fresh fruits.
My Personal Opinion
Yuzu continues to satisfy us with their food each time we dine here. Their a la carte menu (albeit with higher prices) is so extensive you'll be spoilt for choice.
But if you're looking for a more affordable Japanese meal, their lunch and dinner sets will certainly be better value...and better priced. Probably three not-very-hungry people can share two sets for even greater value! ;)

Your last sentence of 3 persons sharing 2 set definitely can fit my family criteria when the portion is so generous, hehe ^__^
ReplyDeleteYes, two sets are more than sufficient for your family of three :)
DeleteFur an upscale location like this, the set lunches are considered cheap and value for money. I like what they served as all looked appetizing. I will remember to dine there!
ReplyDeleteYou're right...the set lunches are really good value seeing that this is an upscale (and expensive) mall.
Deletei want the unagi! though gosh, less than 10 years ago when i would have eaten here, the unagi bento would have been RM30-something at the most. yuzu is one of those restaurants i take for granted, since it's been around in klcc for so many years, but i always respect longevity ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree...the restaurants in KLCC seem to have longevity (maybe it's because there are less choices here, so less competition compared to say Pavilion).
DeleteHow come I never stop by at this place everytime i go klcc? It looks good and the price is affordable too for place like KLCC.

Well, now that you know, you can try it the next time you're in KLCC! ;)
DeleteThe size of the unagi is quite decent compared to the one from Hokano which is too small (which is why I don't order it). I have always loved bento for the variety. A bit of this and that is quite filling in the end.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the sets here (seeing this is KLCC) are rather reasonably priced (comparing to Hokano) though I think Hokano might trump it with slightly bigger portions. The unagi set for around RM50+ is certainly decent.
