Hachiko Japanese Restaurant at Taman Desa Tebrau, Johor Bahru.

The cozy and relax environment will really let us enjoy our dinner peacefully...

Our order :-
*  American Grilled Beef set
*  Chicken Teriyaki
*  Unagi with rice set.

American Grilled Beef

I requested for medium and during the beef served on table, it was just perfect! Taste was above average and tender. Not Bad.

Chicken Teriyaki Set

The Chicken Teriyaki set for my wife was served with common side dishes but we felt it was more variety than we had it in Johor Bahru Japanese Restaurant. It had the Chicken Teriyaki, Cawan Mushi, rice, fruits, cucumber...etc. The extra was this...additional of 2 small pieces of Shisamo...

Shisamo

The Chicken Teriyaki taste nice and others were just as common...

Unagi fish with rice

My daughter was enjoyed her Unagi Rice quietly without any complain...I guess she was happy with her meal...:)

Overall, we like the quiet environment with some soft music, and the friendly staff around. It's a good place to dine-in. As for the foods, satisfied! Even the price is slightly higher compare with other Japanese Restaurant in JB, I think it still worth it because of the serving portion.

The Damage : RM99.00 included drinks for our meal above.

It's a nice restaurant and we will be back for more...
