Niah National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia.

National park
Nature & Parks
Niah National Park, located in Sarawak, Malaysia, is a renowned destination that boasts of prehistoric limestone caves and rock paintings. It is well-maintained by the staff and offers a natural experience with no artificial spotlights. The park provides an opportunity to experience the wonders of nature and learn about Guan Niah's rich history. Visitors can take a challenging trek to reach the painting cave, while the path leading to Grand Cave is relatively easier.
Must visit when you're in Miri. Highlight of the whole trip! Came with my family, husband, me & our 7yo boy. It was tiring for me with all the steps, especially on the way out. Super impressed that my son still had enough stamina. There are some pitch black areas about 1km long in the Great Cave. Painted Cave was unfortunately locked, so we didn't get to see the drawings. Bat poo, slippery walkway - definitely need good shoes with traction, torchlight & plenty of water. Lots of rest areas & good signage. 1.5hrs drive from city centre, 4 hrs in the caves, 1.5hrs back. It's a good almost full day excursion. Need to leave the caves by 4pm, so start early & plan for snacks in lieu of lunch. Mostly, enjoy the untouched nature, with no mobile reception.

Enjoyed to explore this historic place. Amaze by the beauty of nature and of the historical left. Walkway to the cave is slippery and inside the cave also plus super dark. u need to bring torchlight and gloves.

The must visit place if you are at Bintulu or Miri (1.5hr from Bintulu). Entrance is RM10 for Malaysian. Parking available at entrance, after register, take a boat ride (RM1) to cross the river, will arrive at Musium first (free), then start walking along the pathway to the caves. It take 40 min to reach the first cave(trader cave), another 20 min to reach the second cave (Great Cave), from great cave another 1 hour to reach the Painted cave. Trader cave is the easiest, doesn't involved a lot of staircase, straight path, suitable for children and elderly, Great cave require hike up staircase and the most difficult and need light support if going up to Painted cave. Recommend to bring enough of water, change of clothes after exploration of the cave, good shoe as you will be walking around 10km (more than 10000 steps), toilet are available at the entrance and also inside. It takes about 4-5 hour to explore all the caves. Return boat to entrance is RM1 and the last boat leave at 4pm.

Well maintained national park.thumb up for the staff here.keep it up. We are lucky today is a good weather.we drive frm miri around 7.30 am and reach here around 9.30am. we reach the painting cave at 12noon. The path till grand cave still ok but the way to painting cave quite challenging if u brings elderly. The cave still remains it's natural.not many or not at all artificial sport light.good to c the can remain the nature.this is an eye opener for me how does gua Niah really looks like.and is the best nearest attraction frm miri town

The view is splendid, definitely a must visit destination in Sarawak. The only downside is the souvenir shop and rest stop were not opened that day, not sure if it's closed long term or not. The track and route are well maintained, rubbish bins are prepared sufficiently. Overall it's a very memorable experience.

A great place to bring your family and friends for short vacation. You need to bring your own head lamp and wear sport shoe’s because the cave surface is slippery. Head to nearby local restaurants to enjoy the delicious prawn noodle.

👍🏼 1) A super quiet Niah National Park, would be nice for those dislike touristy spots 2) Super friendly park office personnel 3) Straightforward park direction 4) Some walking, about an hour or more to reach the main cave 5) Could buy some light snacks, drinks before reaching the caves 👎🏼 6) Kind of lack of any information when one reaches the caves 7) No local guide available to hire to explore the darker parts of the cave 8) The darker part of the cave, kind of creepy

Niah National Park, located within Miri Division, Sarawak, Malaysia, is the site of the Niah Caves limestone cave and archeological site. Known for the 40,000 year-old human remains discovered, Niah National Park offers a 2-hour walk of jungle walk and spelunking experiences. A two-hour drive from Miri, Niah National Park can be explored through a plank walk within the lowland forest with a fantastic flora and fauna. Tiring trek but all super worth it! More about my Niah Cave adventure at enjayneer.com.

Amazing place. Visitors need to take their own torch lights or headlamps with them. Might be not suitable for those who are sensitive to smell and weak on stamina. The whole to and fro trip from the jetty till the end of the Painted Cave could take up to 4 hours, so start your trip early in the morning. Trails could be slippery after the rain. Recommended to travel with friends and bring with you plenty of water.

Came here on a relatively quiet day (weekday, non PH) and had a great time! Walk ~3km to reach trader's cave --> great cave --> painted cave. At the soveiner shops junction, theres a left turn to go to a nearby rumah panjang (homestay available there too). Advisable to bring insect repellents, some water to hydrate, and for sure a good torch light esp if you want to go through the whole course. Admission fee is rm10 for malaysian adult, and rm1 for boat ride per trip. Well worth the fee, the view is absolutely breathtaking.

Great place to visit! I have some recommendations: - take torchlight with you (better to fix it on your head) - don’t forget repellents - don’t forget cap (to protect yourself from birds “surprises”) - take gloves with your (to hold hand-rails properly) - wear relevant clothes (boots, long sleeve, trousers) - better to have water, tea, snacks for breaks - entry fee is 10 rm for Malaysian visitors, 20 rm for non-Malaysian visitors - fee to cross the river is 2 rm per person (1 rm on a way to the cave and 1 rm on a way back) - have some cash to get refreshing drinks on a way to caves

Beautiful place. It need strength & good legs workout to visit the place. Also bring energy bar, food or lot of drinking water with touchlight to help navigate the place
mhngoo abdullah — Google review
why do we need pay for the boat ride (RM1/person/ride) as we have paid RM10 entrance fee to sarawak forest department? If they can build a hanging bridge to cross the river will be a better option instead of relying on the boat that has no license and guarantee. The park facility is under maintenance such as smelly toilet and broken pathway..... The cave itself is really magnificent and stunning, the gallery provide sufficient info, staff service is good as well, just unsatisfied on the boat.

Easy 4 hours walk. Flat wooden bridge all the way to the cave. Plenty of stairs in the cave to facilitate your "climbing". Must bring torch light along if you intend to go all the way in the cave.
LP Lee — Google review
Time needed: 1/2 hour to buy a ticket and visit the museum. - 1 hour on the Rainforest boardwalk to reach the 1st cave. -1 1/2 to 2 hours to explore the 3 caves on the guided inner boardwalks without stopping. 1 1/2 hour to go back out on the Rainforest boardwalk (slower because you'll be tired by then). Total 5 hours minimum. Add 1 hr drive to and from your hotel at miri town. So 7 hrs total. If you keep pace and don't rest. 9 hours is you b take pics and rest. Wear good shoes, get ready to climb lots of stairs, bring a strong torch each (it's all dark in the main caves), wear a hat and yes, gloves or bring a cloth to hold the railings in the caves where bats and swiflets poo freely (wear a hat!!) Do bring at least 1.5L of water per person. You need to be mentally prepared and have the time to be at niah caves. I did it in the morning of the day I had to catch an evening flight and regret, cos I was stressed about not making it back to the admission counter (you need to report in and when you're out), and its a good hour each way, to and from Miri Town where I was staying, by car. Also, I got on the flight sweaty and stinky. Sorry, fellow passengers! I heard good things about the canteen at the admissions counter, but didn't get to eat there because of the rush. Highly recommend visiting Niah Caves. It's fascinating from geological and paleoanthropological points. But give yourself a whole day and try to start by 9am.

Taman Negara Bukit Lambir

Mentioned on 
National park
Nature & Parks
Lambir Hills National Park is situated in the jungle, boasting mature trees, hiking trails, waterfalls and bird watching opportunities. It can be reached within an hour's drive from Miri. However, the journey might not be smooth as there are several road works on the route. The park is usually fairly quiet and has adequate signage to guide visitors along the way; though some signs leading to HQ may be missing.
Great management by SFC! Register ahead via the online portal for seamless entry. Also, closed toe shoes are a must so be sure to bring some. Kayak waterfall is a great hike for toddlers and beginners

Only the 5 km loop was open and there was no access to waterfalls or viewpoint. Most bridges were not kept up and we needed to walk/jump/crawl across. And there are plenty of leeches, so dress appropriately.
Susanne Safar — Google review
Very good park but in need of serious maintenance to the trails and buildings . The waterfalls are all beautiful though and well worth a visit.
the midlife vagabonds — Google review
Nice waterfall easily accessible. If rainy the way can be very slippery and a stick may be helpful. The stairs and some parts of the trek should be reworked in order to be less dangerous. The ropes are too small and should be replaced by bigger one, more easy to hold. Leech socks and mosquito repellent are recommended. Price is double for foreigner, even x4 for seniors.

Brought the grandsons to Latak waterfall and had an enjoyable experience in the morning. I have been to Lambir NP since 1991 and have seen the many park changes. MCO hasn't been kind to the NP facilities and trails leading to neglect. A major revamp is required, and Mulu NP/ HQ is a case in point where the upkeep is top notch. Still love the hiking in the NP 😊.
Ton van Dijk — Google review
The park is really great, but the tracks need a lot of repair. Many bridges have collapsed so great care must be taken not to slip and fall so be prepared. The tracks are medium to difficult but lead you to beautiful waterfalls through lovely tropical forest. The hills can be very steep so take plenty of drinking water and make sure you apply insect repellent.

About 1hr drive from Miri. Unfortunately, the journey is not smooth, as many road works on the route. We were lucky, the park was not busy. The track is reasonably signage. With at least 1 missing sign to HQ part of the way. Thanks to Google to assist to locate exit. It's very unfortunate, most of the waterfall is closed. Very disappointed, RM10/- charged per Adult and our tax money, the wood walkway has not been kept to repair work and safe. The wood walkway is slippery. Please find way to reduce the danger. Toilet, need repair and cleaning, too. But, yes, please come and enjoy the flora and fauna. Please help to LIKE this review. TQ.

Coco Cabana

Mentioned on 
Sights & Landmarks
Park
Coco Cabana is a popular tourist spot in Miri, offering a relaxing atmosphere and several food stalls. While most of the restaurants serve non-halal food and only open in the evening, there are many picturesque opportunities for nature lovers to admire, including sitting on rocks by the cape and watching the waves.
A great place to chill. A few food stalls available, the restaurants there open in the evening but most of them are nonhalal food. Lots of photo spots. If you are a nature lover, you can sit on the rocks at the cape and enjoy the waves as they are coming. I spent an hour there just to relax and lost in my thoughts. Great place to watch sunset when the weather is good. You have to go early if you intend to watch sunset as this place gets quite crowded at that hour.

I visited this place twice in a week time. Every visit gave me different feelings and experience. The first once quiet due to rain and it was a weekday night. We went there again on Sunday evening. The place was quite happening with many visitors. We managed to catch up with the sunset timing. The sky was colourful at the dawn. It was so amazing! A must-go place if you are visiting Miri.

Breezy and great seaside view in Miri. You can see a huge seahorse statue here but with disappointment, harvest zero seahorse around. Good feeling to walk around this area surrounding with foods and beverages, children games, yacht and musics. The presence of rainbow without raining makes the day of my visit too! Let's keep this place clean together and no vandalism please.

It used to be a vibrant food and drinks place, but the pandemic had a big impact and now is not so attractive. You still can find quiet spots to enjoy the sunset, like Camilo's. There is a dinosaur park and several hawker stalls.

Located at Miri's Marina Bay, this location became an instant hit amongst locals and tourist. Next to the sea, it makes for a very picturesque location; swings are in abundance, with handcrafted wooden furniture displayed. Lovely place in the evening for an outing. Pleasant seaside destination with walkways around the area.

This is another must visit attraction in Miri. Limited parking especially during weekends. Many food stall for your quick snack. During my visit there's dinosaur exhibition outside the main building. So entertaining and informative at the same time. At the main building usually a venue for exhibition or artisan fair.

The prettiest sunset I’ve ever seen. Especially during this period of the year where the day is longest and night shortest. On this single day of my visit, it showcased almost every type of sunset view, from the golden egg yolk, burning clouds, to rainbowy gradient sky (which is especially heavy on the purplish/pinkish side). Totally exceptional.

Recently I went to Miri and visited this place in the evening. It was really good. The breeze was cool and the vibe of the place was just soothing.

This is a nice place to come and relax especially with family members most especially if you have kids. There's a lot of activities going here that you can take part. You can jog, brisk walk, play at the place ground etc. But its kind of scary during night time. Altho there's Security around, still there are certain area's lit up with dim lighted and gives one with that unsecure feeling. Unless there's a function going on, you wont feel such 😅 cause its bright lighted and there's a crowd of people around.

I was exploring Miri on foot and stumbled across this park. It was a Friday morning and I was surprised that there was absolutely no one except cleaners.

I've enjoyed my daily walks around this park. There's lots of different routes you can take to make it interesting, even in the heat of the midday sun there's plenty of shaded space. The gardeners are working around every day so can be a bit noisy with the leaf blowers going, plenty of regular people exercising every day so you get to say hi as you walk around. The park keepers are based centrally and do regular rounds. It is safe and even at night although several young groups of motorcyclists are hanging around you don't feel at all intimidated. It's a haven in the middle of Miri away from the hustle and bustle of the streets

A nice park for leisure activities. Equipped with simple exercise machines, a playground for kids and shady areas for a leisure walk or jog. Some sections of the park are still under renovations. Hopefully the local authority will keep their consistency in keeping the park clean and well managed. Should trim the plants regularly especially the overgrown branches as it will be dangerous to the park goers. Another thing they should consider putting up clear signages of the toilets/ washrooms. I can't see any.

Not very happening lately. A lot of stray dogs lounging there. Despite Swak Gov issuing rabies warnings, no action was taken to capture the strays. There was a sign that reminds people not to throw rubbish, which is good, but it was delivered inappropriately. No rubbish bin provide despite having a lot of concrete bin holder. Something is wrong with the council in Miri. Maybe lack of budget or lack of concern. It was not like this when I lived in Miri before. Blame it on Covid again I suppose. Ohh there is also a Croc warning ⚠️

Beautiful beach (free entry) and it's really clean. Plenty gazebos for seatings, garbage bins, extremely shady and perfect for picnics. If you go during non peak, it's relatively deserted and very peaceful. Lots of free parking and free toilets. The sea looks peaceful and there is no signage indicating no swimming however there is a signage for crocodiles 😅. Too bad there is no coffee/cafe place where one could chill there with a book for the day. However, if you want peace and quiet by the beach with a book and your own hammock, it's the perfect place.

Random selection from the food menu was all delicious with the roti canai as a big surprise - you would not expect to find good food and awesome roti canai and curry here but here we are. For drinks, they got creative for their jager bomb in apple cider was a pleasant surprise. Staff were friendly and attentive. Bustling late evening and weekends.

Restoran Ayam Penyet Ria offers genuine Indonesian cuisine that truly embodies the flavors of Indonesia. The dishes are prepared with care, and the Indonesian staff provide warm hospitality. One must-try is their Ayam Penyet set, which includes a generous portion of juicy chicken. A delightful addition is the free-flowing Sambal, available in both spicy and milder versions, each equally delicious. This restaurant is highly recommended for those in Miri looking for an authentic dining experience.
An authentic indonesian restaurant wide range of delicious food. Try nasi iga, beef ribs with tofu, tempe, boiled vegetables and you will not regret. My goto place when in Miri

The food is good, everything is good, the problem is only the cashier. Please take note about your cashier. The girl is quite rude. I ask for extra sambal but the girl keep saying, "jgn tambah sambal mereka, merekah belum bayar" .she said that, like I was deaf over there.Why she didn't ask me to pay?. She didn't even ask me to pay, but when I ask for extra sambal, she say like that, and it's quite rude.. PLEASE TAKE NOTE !!!

We went Ayam Penyet Ria for dinner on April 13. They were out of tauhu, tempeh, and kangkung for their penyet items, but the cashier didn't let us know about this, proceeded with the payment instead. When the meals were served, we noticed that the sets were short of some condiments (yet we paid the same price). Only then we knew from other staff who said that they were out of these condiments since noon. The cashier was irresponsible for not notifying us about their shortage so that we can either order other meals or just left.

Service kinda slow especially during lunch hours, sometimes it took an hour for your food be to be served. My favourite from this place definitely ayam bakar penyet & nasik uduk ayam bakar. Price a bit pricey but taste of the food never disappoints you.

The classic Ayam Penyet Ria is found across Malaysia. Although it has many franchises, each outlet differs slightly from the others. Unfortunately, they don't serve limau for Ayam Bakar. The environment is comfortable, with cozy seating and great air conditioning.

Liked the food. Liked the ambiance. I prefer to sit at the corner and have a general view of who's coming in and out of the place, just cause...

Order: Nasi Ayam penyet, Nasi Bawal penyet, Terung goreng & Cendol The service quite slow, we waited for about 40minutes. The food is good with fair price. However, the cendol was not like we expected, so a bit disappointed. Sambal penyet is free flow. You can sit outside the restaurant while enjoying the sea breeze.

Went for late dinner with siblings. Ordered ayam penyet, the chili can be slighly spicier. Rendang daging was slightly sweet for my taste. But the meat was tender.

Agree with the general consensus. The food - ayam penyet tastes amazing. Uber crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. Sambal is divine! However, the food is quite pricey considering the portion. Drinks even more so. We waited roughly 20 minutes for our food which wasn’t too bad. Still a place I would recommend people stop by to give it a try.

The best ayam penyet in Miri. Waits can be very long during lunch hour. They messed up my drinks order but was rectified fast. Food quality super good. The sambal packs a lot of kick. Really delicious and highly recommended as one of your makan spot if you visit Miri.

Authentic Indonesian food and you could really feel it in the dishes (also in the hospitality by the Indonesian staff)! I had the usual Ayam Penyet set with an add on of Teh Botol. The chicken was big and juicy and you’ll be glad to know the Sambal is free flow! They have two types, one spicy and one less spicy. Both were equally as good. If you’re in Miri, this is a great place to dine in.

I used to love eating here but lately their service has been SUPER bad. Today I went for takeouts and I got completely ignored by the waitress almost like I’m invisible. Nobody even bothered to take my order and when I went to the counter to order, the waitress just got up and leave! Mind you, I went at 4pm, not peak hour. Very very bad service 👎🏻

What can I say. This restaurant is popular with local diners. It serves delicious Malay food like mee goreng, nasi goreng, kolok mee, kolok kueh teow and the ever populsr nasi lalapan ayam, nasi lalapan daging and more. How is the food? The nasi lalapan ayam is nicely fried crispy on the outside but juicy inside. The tomato sambal is yummy.

If I can rate 0 stars I will rate 0 stars. The whole time we had lunch there, the waitresses rolled theirs eyes at us at least 5 times when we are just asking for services like asking for the menu, more food, the bill, and plastic bag to takeaway leftover food. Is it because we chinese?? Seriously man.

Kent's Garden is a restaurant where my sister and I recently dined. We were pleasantly surprised when our orders of lamb chop and juice arrived promptly, despite hearing that the service was slow in the past. The lamb chop itself was of good quality, with two sizable slices that were easy to cut. Weekdays are recommended for a visit as there are fewer people compared to busy weekends, although parking may be limited.
We've been coming here from time to time but this is the first time I tried the Assam Lamb Shank. It's amazing! Must try if you like lamb and don't mind a bit of spiciness

After great place for eat and chill with your love ones. The atmosphere was great with great decor. We ordered a wide range of cuisine. Asian and western. Their asian cuisine was great. Nasi goreng kampung was delicious. Fried rice with little hint of shrimp paste. Rice was not clumpy and not too oily. Siam fried bee hoon also great. Mixed grill plate. Lamb chop and chicken chop is marinate thoroughly and tender. My favourite would be the battered fried fish. Tender on the inside and fried battered was crispy. Would highly recommend the black pepper sauce for this dish. Bolognese paste and mushroom alfredo paste. To be honest, pasta is not their strong dish. Pasta was cooked al dente, but the sauce was thin and soupy. An improvement should be made for their pasta. Overall food was great. Price was reasonable and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

Ordered Lamb Chop with Black Pepper sauce & Wintermelon Special to drink. The Lamb Chop taste delicious and tender. Wintermelon Special was good too. Really good place to hangout as it have good atmosphere with musics & lighting, spacy space, mosquito coils was also provided.

My sister and I ordered lamb chop and some juice. We weren't expecting the order to arrive quite fast as we've heard that the service was slow last time. Both of us had a great experience here and the lamb chop is also decent, easy to cut and 2 big slices. Would recommend to come on weekdays as they were lesser people compared to weekends (parking is quite small hahaha) 👌

Bihun goreng seafood was super delicious. However, the chicken wings were too salty. Spaghetti bolognese has a lil bit of minced beef only, no meatball. Garlic breads are ordinary for me. The drinks price are okay.. food price might be a lil bit pricey because of the food taste. The parking is crowded if there's a lot of cars. I drive hilux, so yeah..it's too long for the parking space..better do reverse parking!!

Relaxing atmosphere at night, accompanied with nice country song. the only down side is the insects, but the waitress help to lit mosquito coil and turn on the fan, it really helps. price is affordable for the food, taste nice and quite a big portion.

Authentic Japanese restaurant
Excapade Japanese Cuisine Tanjong Lobang in Miri offers a top-notch dining experience with its impeccable service and delectable Japanese dishes. Situated by the Tanjong Lobang beach, this restaurant is known for its mouth-watering sashimi dishes featuring salmon, tuna, and more. While some menu items are seasonal, there's also a variety of beef and poultry dishes to enjoy.
A great place to enjoy Japanese food in Miri. Situated at the Tanjong Lobang beach. The sashimi dishes served here is simply mouth watering. Salmon, tuna, and more. Some item on the menu is seasonal. There are also beef and poultry dishes to enjoy. The marinades and some of the meal sauces can be a little bit too sweet or overpowered. The beach view from the restaurant during sunset is priceless, but the window view table is limited. Highly encouraged to reserve your seat before coming in.

Food tasted awesome. Some of the dishes we ordered in the menu were not available. Probably out of stock on the day we visited. Price range is affordable. Too bad the other branch in Miri town itself has closed down. This is definitely a good Japanese restaurant.

Been having Excapade since decade ago way before they open a branch in Miri. There was a period of time the quality dropped significantly, but since last year I decided to give it a try, to my surprise it has improved! Came here several time for cooked sushi as I personally don't quite fancy Sashimi & raw foods. These are some of my favourite choice 😋 By the way, if you happen to apply member card, with total bill of RM150 on your exact birthday, please keep the yellow receipt as they require the original yellow receipt for the actual card collection! Yes, original copy only. Digital copy or any other documents are not acceptable.

Sashimi is fresh and their other sushi are mostly good. Not that many options for sashimi but there are plenty for "cooked" sushi. Their dessert, especially the mochi, is extremely sweet, but I do appreciate the usage of real red beans for the fillings. Overall a good sushi experience in town!

Ambience is nice, however food is just not bad, as it’s lacking an oompf/wow factor. Price point is pretty expensive considering it’s not as satisfying as I had hoped it would be…
Sylvia T — Google review
Had been here in 2020 and that was a great experience and worth 5-star rating. Came again 2 years later but felt that while the sashimi is fresh, the curry sauce of the beef curry rice was merely warm and not hot. The rice of the nigiri sushi was so so for me this time. I will still come again as I think in general it is still a good place to eat at.

Situated by the picturesque Tajong Aru Beach, Escapade offers a charming spot to savor Japanese cuisine with a view. The food is a highlight, featuring fresh sushi and other Japanese favorites. Don't miss their sandwiches ! Overall, Escapade is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious Japanese food by the sea.

An array of raw seafood and sushi to choose from. Slightly crowded but plenty of high stool if you're coming alone or in pairs. Food tastes amazing but feels slightly small portion.

Food and atmosphere was more like 3.5. This is still a popular place. The food, for me, was standard, not particularly impressive. Especially for the price. They need to step it up, especially now that they have many more competitors in Miri. (It used to be they were the only Japanese restaurant in Miri.) The matcha fried ice cream is quite a novelty in Miri, though.

Aimi ND — Google review
Grilled Oyster with Cheese was superb. The tanginess and creaminess combined with the oyster itself was out of words to describe it. Smoked Salmon with Ikura was okay. Wanted to order Ikura but it would costs me RM40 for 40gm. So I go with this instead. Crispy Salmon Skin was cold when it was served, but still crispy. So it was meh for me. Kinda turn down too. Fried Ebi Tempura was good. Still hot inside out and very crispy. Service wise - it was an okay experience since I came during peak hour (8pm, Saturday night), so it was really busy and almost fullhouse. Kinda dissapointed because the waitress forgot to serve our drinks first (it was only green tea though, idk what took so long). Overall, it took around 43minutes for them to serve 7 dishes and 2 glass of green tea. But it's okay since there were many other patrons as well. Maybe I should come during working days another time.

Good food good environment but price is at the higher end. Overall, other than the pricing, this would be my first choice if I’m looking for a Japanese restaurant in Miri. They use high quality, premium fresh ingredients. Some of my favourites to order every time I visit: sushi sandwich , Unagi , chicken curry Katsu.
