Zenjo Japanese Restaurant

Ah, Zenjo. With the amount of Japanese cuisines out there, one can only wonder how can yet another Japanese restaurant survive the ordeal of this fierce competition secretly happening out here.
By tasting good, of course.
Let’s face it; Zenjo gives you the best bento set ever. While the servings may not be able to fill you up (it can’t fill me up), the freshness of the soup and the rice can be tasted right off your chopsticks and spoon, and should be a healthier alternative for those who do not want to stuff yourself. Of course, there are your salmon sashimis, and an assortment of sushi, all which are prepared freshly and served to you in just minutes. There is wine too, though I do not think that is a factor for this place’s offering of food and ambience.
That being said, if you love Japanese food, then this is the place to go. Trust me on that, kids!

It’s hard to miss Zenjo with its bold blue brick walls and high glass windows. It gives of an elegant yet modern and classy vibe. Their menu is littered with little eats — however each of these little dishes are so tasty and rich that you will be filled in no time.
They also have a selection of exquisite looking and fine tasting sushi rolls, such as the chilli unagi makis (so good!) and the oyster makis, all of which are well rolled and fresh to the taste.
I also had a serve of the eel fried rice. The eel marinade was very unique — it had a sweet but tangy taste to it which I love. The water came in a unique vase-​shaped bottle which I believe came from Japan.
As a standard I ordered ice green tea with no sugar and it was a refreshing change and complemented the sushi well.
Service was impeccable — there was a waiter who was constantly on the lookout for our table to ensure we had what we needed and to attend to all our requests. When he saw that the water level was low, he came by with a brand new flask to replace the near-​empty one — this is what I call good service!
The salmon sashimi was also beautiful — one of the fresher sashimi I’ve tasted in KL! I highly recommend Zenjo if you haven’t been however I’ll be sure to ring them up to make a reservation beforehand just to avoid disappointment!

Look no further than Zenjo for the finest in Japanese cuisine! Located within Empire Damansara, Zenjo is the perfect combination of exquisite food, served in a lovely ambience suitable for quiet conversations and romantic dinners. All your favourite Japanese cuisine are freshly prepared and served here.
Their bento box set meals are the best; my personal favourites being the salmon set and sahimi set. If you can’t make up your mind, just go for one of their set meals and you’ll walk out of the restaurant feeling stuffed. Also not to be missed are their maki rolls, especially the spicy eel maki. Like all Japanese restaurants that are not conveyer belt sushi bars, the prices are a bit on the higher range, but given the quality and freshness — which is crucial to Japanese food, especially when there is raw seafood involved — it is worth it.
