Restaurant Naritaya @Danga City Mall, Johor Bahru

Located at Level 2 of Danga City Mall, Restaurant Naritaya has been operating for almost 1 year. At his young age of 25, Chef Youhei Sato (佐籐洋品）came all the way from Japan to Malaysia to run the business.

Yaki Udon Set
RM 12.90

Look at the big fat udon! Yaki Udon Set is actually Fried Udon, something similar to "Udon Goreng" according to Chef Youhei. My suggestion is, eat the udon while it's piping hot! Don't wait a single second because the udon will become dry and a bit hard when the dish turns cold.

Kakiage Udon Set
RM 14.90

Kakiage Udon Set is a soup dish topped with vegetables tempura, which was made from slices of cabbage, onion and carrot. I like the vegetables tempura, it was crispy and refreshing.

からあげ弁当
Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) Rice Set
RM 15.90

からあげ
Japanese Fried Chicken
RM 3.00

Japanese Fried Chicken Rice Set (からあげ弁当) consists of miso soup, plain rice, fried chicken, two side dishes and fruit. The portion is just nice. You can also order Japanese Fried Chicken from the a la carte menu at RM 3.00 each plate. The fried chicken was crispy outside but it was a bit dry and hard inside, which is not to my liking. I would prefer it to be more tender and juicier.

Fried Salmon Rice Set
RM 15.90

Similar to Japanese Fried Chicken Rice Set, Fried Salmon Rice Set also comes with a miso soup, a plain rice, fried salmon, two side dishes and fruit. Chef Youhei is really generous to his customers, spot the two huge chunks of salmon in the bentou? Fried Salmon Rice Set is such a worthy deal! (Aunty mode on haha!)

As I mentioned earlier, each rice set comes with 2 side dishes, and you can choose your preferred side dishes when placing your order, how thoughtful this service is! I love their mashed potato and stirred fried carrot with egg the most. Slices of carrot were so sweet and succulent, I wish I could ask for refill hehe!

Japanese Hamburger Rice Set
RM 15.90

Japanese Hamburger is made from egg, minced chicken and tofu, this is my favourtite dish of the day! I like the soft and eggy taste of the "hamburger", not to mention that it was so healthy!

どら焼き
Dorayaki (Japanese Pan Cake)- Original
RM 8.90

I used to bring Doroyaki as my snack during recess time when I was in my secondary school. (Awww those beautiful days!) Restaurant Naritaya serves several types of Doroyaki and I had the original one, which came with generous amount of red bean filling. The pancake was fragrant and I like it, but the red bean filling was way too sweet for my liking.

Besides dining in the restaurant, Restaurant Naritaya also provides delivery service in Johor Bahru town area. Just drop Chef Youhei a call at 014-9807431 and the bentou will be delivered to your doorstep, convenient and hassle free! Take note that you should place your order at least one hour earlier yo!
