Miyabi Japanese Restaurant @Sheraton Petaling Jaya | Exquisite Japanese Dining

Miyabi Japanese Restaurant Sheraton Petaling Jaya has just opened its door recently. Miyabi Sheraton Petaling Jaya offers an exquisite Japanese dining experience from the food which is prepared by Chef Dino to the decor and ambience of a modern concept Japanese restaurant.

We are honoured to be invited to review this newly minted restaurant Miyabi which is located on the Level 3A of the Sheraton Hotel Petaling Jaya. For more information, you can check out Sheraton Petaling Jaya facebook page

Upon entry to the Miyabi Japanese Restaurant Sheraton Petaling Jaya, you are greeted to the traditional Japanese greetings that welcome its' guest into the restaurant.

According to the Restaurant Manager, there are six private rooms where you can entertain your families and business guests. At one of the rooms, there is an open concept kitchen where you can watch the Chef in action preparing your dishes privately.

For our review, we started with an appetizer which is Nama Kaki Special (Set of 2 pcs at RM85.00 per set). It is a Fresh Oyster which is served with toppings of Salmon Roe, Sea Urchin, Flying Fish Row, Quail Egg Yolk with a Yuzu sauce. The Fresh Oyster was very succulent with its' natural salty taste and was perfectly matched with the other prized ingredient. In a nutshell, you are able to taste the different taste, texture and the special popping sensation of the bursting roe. Simply marvellous start to this review.

This is then followed by my favourite dish which is the Sashimi Moraiwase (RM400.00 per set) - a sashimi set collection from the Chef which consist of 8 different type of Fresh Imported Fish from Japan with a serving of 3 pieces of this delicious treat. The freshness level was as fresh as you could get. Every single piece of the fish has the right texture and taste which went perfectly with the freshly grated wasabi and soy sauce.

Moving on; we were served the Tempura Moriawase (RM48.00 per set) which consist of an assortment of tempura seafood and vegetables. The tempura batter was just nice with a waffle thin crust that literally melts in your mouth.

After the tempura, we were served the Watarari Kani Unagi Harumaki (RM75.00 per set). Instead of using seaweed, the chef has improvised to use rice paper (like the Vietnamese rice roll). Sandwiched in between the rolls are freshly fried soft shell crab tempura, with an inset of Japanese eel, avocado, lettuce and cucumber with a sesame dressing. Again this dish; provide your taste buds with a different texture from crisp, firm and crunchy all in one bite.

I love the fact that Chef Dino with more than 40 over years experience; takes great pain in articulating his dishes that captivate your taste and dining experience in one dish. Next; we were served another masterpiece Maki which is Miyabi Special Maki (RM80.00 per portion). In between the Maki, you will find a Fried Breaded Prawn, Soft Shell Crab, Japanese Eel and vegetable.

The second last dish before desserts that is served to us is the Gindara Karashi Moro (RM120.00). A simple dish where the White Cod Fish is lightly pan-fried; this is to enable one to taste the codfish flavour and served with an in-house prepared concoction of a Spicy Malted Barley Bean Paste.

And the final dish of the evening is the Gyuniku Australian Tenderloin (RM150.00 per portion). Using the prized cut tenderloin; the beef is cooked teppanyaki style. For me, it was cooked to medium done as I prefer my tenderloin to be cooked medium rare so that we could really taste the natural flavours and juices of the peppery meat. This dish is also served with the teppan style vegetables as a side together with a fresh salad and accompanied with the sauce and condiments.

For desserts; we were served the Green Tea Caramel With Azuki Red Bean (RM18.00).

Overall, dining at Miyabi Japanese Restaurant Sheraton Petaling Jaya allows one to experience the finer details of the preparation and the use of the top quality ingredient that bring forth the natural flavour and taste.

The beef Teppanyaki is pan-fried to a tender and juicy texture.

The next dish is followed by a kebab style (skewers) teriyaki Kushi Yaki (RM 99); it’s a signature dish of Kazumi, but chances are you would have enjoyed this fusion Japanese treat here. This is a worthy starter which has the slathering of tiny, tender, well-seasoned meat and seafood grilled to the perfect char.

For sushi fan Sushi On Rack (RM 49) offers a distinctive savoury choice of 6 exquisitely crafted Sushi.

Kazumi Poke Ball version aka Chirashi Sushi (Regular- RM 69; Premium- RM 99) which has layers of vinagraite, salmon chunks, seaweed and topped with Sashimi pieces is indeed very pleasing to the eyes. Looking exquisite with the perfect addon and a combination of texture makes it a delightful treats. 

Next on you can taste the Fire and Ice (RM 69) platters which have the deep fried soft shell crab sushi and sprinkles of prawn roe served with a mayo-based dressing. While the lower rack is a sashimi combo which is bedded with a layer of crushed ice; giving the customer a feel of a hot and cold dish with precise, harmonious flavours and textures.

If you like something unique, the Flying Noodles Inaniwa Udon (RM 49) might just be the right one for you, you can go nuts for the dish, and not only because it's tasty - but the combo of its colours! It's practically magical as demonstrated by the kitchen’s attention to detail slurping down that tasty dipping of Salted Eggs Yolks.

At Kazumi; there are 4 different desserts offering the first of which is the Candle Lit Panna Cotta (RM 24) served with a lit candle and accompanied with Mango and Mixed Berrie's coulis.

Followed by the Green Tea Tiramisu (RM24) simple yet so good. The green tea tiramisu is served with Sesame Ice Cream.

Shingen Mochi (RM 18) is a traditional Japanese rice-cake dessert that is sprinkled with soybean powder and served with brown sugar syrup; it is so delicate it literally melts in your mouth. The cake is made using mineral water and agar-agar and resembles a giant raindrop - and that is exactly what it tastes like with the toppings that give the dessert a molasses and roasted nutty flavour.

A norm in the operation of Cocotei is to bring the in-season fresh ingredient that is air-flown in from Japan; this is the closest dining experience out of Japan that you can get. You can expect that the Omakase Set that is being offered; changes on a weekly basis.

The Chef cum owner has a history of more than 25 years of serving fine Japanese cuisine, having served under the tutelage of Japanese fine dining culinary master for many years before venturing out on his own.

As the season of Spring has just started in Japan and Sakura flowers are in full bloom, today our culinary experience revolves around the Sakura Omakase (7 courses) Set. Starting out is the Zensai Santen  - a combo of 3 specially crafted Japanese appetiser which is the Hotaru Ika (Baby Squid), Tofu Miso Yaki and the Okura Ikura Ai - a special homemade slices of okra with a special sauce topped with Salmon Fish Roe that gives an elements of salty bursting taste to this appetizer.

Next on the course is the Sashimi Moriawase, we were served the current in-season special which is the Tobiuo (Flying fish) as the main sashimi paired with the Kanpachi (Yellow Tail), Akamai (Tuna) and the ever popular Sake (Salmon). The freshest and best cut to the right thickness of this sashimi platter was a real treat.

This is then followed by the Potato Manju - This is a very popular dish in Shinjuku Japan and it was concocted after Chef Coco Tan during one of his pilgrimage to Japan where he was intrigued by the flavours and texture of this dish. In Japan, the filling used is Pork but since Cocotei Japanese Restaurant is a Pork-free restaurant, he uses the chicken as the filling. This marinade chicken filling is then wrapped with a silky smooth potato which has a texture reminiscent to the smashed potatoes and broiled with a Dashi broth.

For the grilled item, we were served the Ebi Kimmiyaki (Grilled Prawn With Egg Yolk). Love the prawn meat that was grilled to the right charred that retains the firm bouncy texture of the meat.

The next dish is another version of Tempura which is not very familiar in Malaysia, This is the called the Arare Age Moriawase. This version of Tempura uses tiny Baked Rice Crackers as its batter instead of the Tempura powder. We love the crispy Rice Crackers as it gives out a nice crunchy feel to each bite. There is four variety which was served to us, which is the Deep-fried Scallop, Crab Stick, Fish Fillet and Egg Plant.

The dipping sauce for this dish is either the special Shoyu dipping sauce or the special Japanese Salt.

The last course before dessert is the Sushi Moriawase which consists of the Salmon Mentai Sushi (Sliced Salmon topped with Mentai sauce), Negitoro Gunkan Maki (finely chopped raw tuna) and the Nianago Sushi(sea eel).

This Sushi Moriawase set is served with Kinoko Miso Shiru (mushroom miso soups). We love this strongly flavoured mushroom soup as the Chef has used a combination of the few type of mushroom to gives it a strong taste, flavours, and aroma.

For dessert, we were served the Domyoji Age (Japanese Sweet Pink Coloured Red Bean Rice Cake). A truly satisfying end to this special fine dining experience at Cocotei Tokyo Cuisine.
