Little Inbox´s last blog post..Chicken Rice
This is a great place for Japanese food! But it’s very expensive

i’ve been there once…no doubt it’s finger licking good but a bit pricey as what allie mentioned…
but worth going

Jencooks – I could see that this place is patronized by mostly Japanese…families and even individuals, mainly for its quality.
Email2me – The menu has plenty of goodies and choices which I had so much difficulty choosing…must go back for more…haha
Cariso – When you do visit, please remember to include me lor…
Joan – The food is delicious and well presented too, can drop by and try it out.
I have been told that my son do resemble me but I can’t really see it myself…haha.
Btw… he won’t get mad cos he is a friendly young man.
You’ve made the right choice!! This is one of the best Jap Restaurant in town, about the price, it has yet to beat Waka in City Bayview. Waka used to be in Rasa Sayang Resort before it renovated.

wow! this is so awesome and so thrilling to have a glimpse of it! You can’t stop me from not visiting this place, japanese food is my safe heaven!
We should meet this december! will be in contact with you soon!
Yes, Kirishima just keeps getting better and better! I think the menu underwent a revamp a year or two ago – I’m familiar with the old menu but haven’t been back much since the new menu took over. Looks like they’re still on top of things! I love the brothy they serve in the teapot – so simple yet magnificent!
New Kid on the Blog – We really enjoyed our dinner at Kirishima. I have yet to visit Waka…thanks for recommending.
Big Boys Oven – I can see that you are a Japanese food fan too … would be nice to makan together.
Can’t wait to meet up in december
550ml jar of Faith – The menu is huge and has so many choices…you won’t have to choose the same item during each visit.
I like the teapot soup…even took a photo of myself sipping the soup from the teacup.
sashimi amp, sushi, deep fried tempura and the stone grilled beef set looks great. For Japanese food RM48 is consider very reasonable but for the cheap skate people like me sure will be heart pain for 1 week after spending that amount. hahaha

this is a nice place to dine. I see lots of Japanese beverages in this restaurant. I can’t wait to try it ASAP.

KIRISHIMA!! My most most MOST fav Jap restaurant on the whole of Food Paradise (read : Penang) island!
Thx for the wonderful pix, CK. You always have the nicest and most informative posts.
Oh btw, this weekend…I’m gonna be checking out the Bulgarian restaurant you recommended. Hopefully, I will find it as yummy as you did (I am notorious for setting too high stds on food but hey, we’re in Penang where choices are aplenty! Can’t help but have high stds, right?
)

Eleen Por – Since my visit to Kirishima, I too like the place and I will be visiting it again. The huge menu has so so so much to offer.
Hope you too have a wonderful time at Vintage Bulgaria restaurant.
Elin – Try to squeeze this place in your Penang food list and btw, thanks for tagging me
I’ve heard about how good the Jap food is in Kirishima but somehow, we never did make it there yet. Maybe one of these days…(when the pocket permits, of course!)
Foong´s last blog post..Spicy Southern Fried Chicken
I could hear my tummy rumble just looking at hte food…no outing for me for the time being!’sigh’
Sweet Jasmine´s last blog post..Moments of Agony……
Tks for this food review. I still think that the price is on the high side. Will try the bento on my coming visit.
lk´s last blog post..One-dish meal – Featured recipe in Delicious Asian Food (Hochiak)
Hi CK… this page of blog about Kirishima you did very well
You took great photos of the dishes – very sharp & detailed. 2 thumbs up! I went there before leaving for Europe. My family love the place very much.
I’d been to Miraku @ G Hotel before. Their set lunches are a bargain. Not so enthusiasted about their menus in the evening though for me. The company is the same who owned Sushi King
Now, this 15/11/08, the new wing @ Gurney Plaza is going to open, I hope Sakae Sushi will operate by then- I’ve to wait maybe next year to eat there
I hope someone wil do reportage about it so that I can read online.
Now, I have to zzzz… it’s 4.50 am here.
pixen´s last blog post..Sweet Pumpkin And Lily Bulb Soup
lk – There are many more ala carte dishes beside the bento…many variety to try out.
Pixen – Thanks for the compliment. Will try out the new outlet in GP and when I do, I will review about it.
Have a wonderful holiday with your love ones. Do drop by often for updates.
i think i’ve walked past this restaurant before on the way to a japanese buffet. i browsed the menu and it was enough to piqued my interest. the year’s coming to an end, and my friend and I are planning to have a good dinner somewhere. your place here is definitely a good place to start.
quin´s last blog post..Nothing Much. Really.
Hai ! We plan to enjoy the Japanese cuisine at Kirishima by this week! Can’t wait anymore!
I agree with you that the restaurant may be the best Japanese food in town, but in my opinion their taste, professional knowledge and skill is just ok?especially in Shabu shabu they know nothing about it. because i think their Shabu shabu is suck, than i ask the manager “are you guy making shabu shabu or chinese Steamboat?”. her answer is they are same…. in my opinion the answer is very unprofessional!!
The Cod Fish Steamboat is best and should try it out.
unfortunately, during last visit at weekend which is peak season, the good memory went bad.
Bad service plus said ( come on weekday lah, dun come at weekend ????? )
Bad taste of food too……..( perhaps is peak season )
For the best Japanese restaurant, i doubt Kirishima is the best as I taste 1 Japanese restaurant even better Kirishima )
The place is at Pulau Tikus, Near Yatamura at the first corner of shot lot n the chef is from Japan too…… even Menu also in japanese words.
sometime less is more and freshness and simplicity are what matter in Japanese food.
As far as I am concerned, cititel serves the best japanese food in town.
i preferred simple shasimi and plain sushi. too much ‘deco’ though pleases the eyes at times, only spoil the authentic taste.. when i order yellowtail sushi, i want yellowtail, not with avocardo and salmon roe or tobiko.
one of my favourite places to spend the weekend afternoon.
(then i will sneak to abu siti lane for the coconut jelly
)
One of my fav Japanese restaurants in Penang since years ago. My must-order items here include ocha soba, tempura, chicken teppanyaki, baked oyster with mayo, etc. However, I find the sushi not so nice, cannot compare to the ones in Japan. Also, you can ask the waiters for recommendations as they do have some special dishes which are not on the menu.
I like Kirishima very much~ But do you know there is a restaurant, Miyasaka?? Also one of the best Japanese Restaurant in Penang~ I love Japanese food very much but it is difficult to find a delicious one~ For this moment, I just found Kirishima and Miyasaka can make me satisfied.. Isabiri also not bad~
