That moment I saw Nishiki’s July lunch bento value set pop up on my social media homepage, I immediately knew where I go for my weekend brunch date.

After being seriously let down and disgusted by another Japanese restaurant I’d dine in recently, I was deeply craving a wonderful meal that could redeem my love for Japanese food—and Nishiki delivered beautifully.

We arrived right at 12pm afternoon and the place was already buzzing, every table filled with people happily tucking into their lunch sets when we entered.

We grabbed a spot near the entrance and watched as trays of beautiful bentos made their way out of the kitchen. My anticipation was sky-high, and when my set arrived, I couldn’t help but amazed like a little kid.

The sashimi? Perfection. Gorgeously thick cut of salmon belly, glistening with just the right amount of marbling. Each bite melted on my tongue—fresh, buttery, divine.

The pork skewers were solid cuts of juicy meat (not minced), wrapped in a crisp, golden breadcrumb coating, drizzled with a sweet glaze. Every bite was satisfying, with that perfect balance of crunch and tenderness.

The entire set was generous, fresh, and frankly such a steal for the price. It washed away my awful experience and reminded me why I love Japanese food so much.

Cravings? Satisfied.
Heart? Fulfilled.
Wallet? Still smiling.

Kthxbye.

Totally satisfying meal😍😍😘😘😘😋😋😋

Taste: 9.5/10

Excellent surprising portion of Sashimi!!! 2pcs 2-2.3cm thick Salmon, 1 pc 1cm thick Red Tuna, 4 pcs COTD. The red snapper today super fresh & crunchy!!!!!!! Totemo Oiishii～～

If can serve the Sashimi on ice, i can enjoy slowly, lagi best!

Pork skewer thick thick yet tender when hot hot, good coating, not oily, nice texture

Miso soup many ingredients inside, got minced meat, quite salty for me, but nice

Rice today cannot, quite dry & hard, so deduct 0.5 marks

The staff informed this set lunch available during weekend oso

Affordable reasonable price, mari mari～

Juz be patient, then u can get a parking lot dy

Mari mari, usually New Nishiki kuat mahal, grab the value set lunch now ya, dunno this offer last for how long ya

it has been some time they moved up to Iramanis.. the last time I went was when they were still in Jalan Gaya.. those last few years in Jalan Gaya, wasn't as good as the olden Nishiki..

Now, Nishiki "taste" is almost there, though not exactly the olden taste.. but still the quality ingredients.. though I wouldn't recommend the salmon skin which wasn't crunchy at all.. the rest as acceptable as standard..

It’s mother-daughter bonding day, and my mom was craving for Japanese cuisine, so I brought her to Nishiki.

Unfortunately, the experience and meals was utmost disappointed. The valuable lunch sets were no longer available, so we ordered à la carte from the menu.

We ordered…
Una don set with miso soup (charcoal grilled eel on rice)
Shake Chazuke (charcoal grilled salmon risotto)
Kaki Teppanyaki 4 pcs
Tamago and salmon mentai sushi

Dashi Chazuke is a Japanese simple dish with cooked rice and soaked with Dashi (traditional Japanese broth cooked with kombu and bonito).

We were expected a hearty serving of unagi and salmon, somehow it were far smaller. Both were served with a large portion of rice and I couldn’t finish it.

The kaki teppanyaki was on special, so I decided to order it for both my mom and me. Unfortunately, it tasted gritty, like there was sand in it. Yucks!

While the service was decent, overall, the dining experience was completely missed the mark.

Kthxbye.

Nishiki has updated their lunch set menu. While the portions seem smaller than before, I still enjoyed the sashimi set.

I also tried the teppanyaki kaki (oyster) as an addition, though it was smaller than expected, it tasted great.

Kthxbye.
