Yoshiya Japanese Restaurant @ Sungai Petani, Kedah

During our trip to Sungai Petani, we went to Yoshiya Japanese Restaurant, one of the few Japanese restaurants available in Kedah. The restaurant actually quite near to Central Square, the place I used to passby frequently when I was a kid, but I have never set foot into it.

Yoshiya Japanese Restaurant, Sungai Petani

Yoshiya Japanese Restaurant located at Taman Petani Jaya, near to the highway exit of Sungai Petani (Selatan/South). It is a bit secluded as it is hidden at one of the shop houses inside a housing area. Yoshiya Japanese Restaurant has been opened for a long time, so no worry, you can easily find it on Waze!

Upon entering the restaurant, there are two types of seating, the tatami style and the normal seating, similar to Miraku Japanese Restaurant at G Hotel Penang. Since the tatami style seating are quite unique, most of the time are full, so reservation is needed and remember to specify the desired seating.

The first one we had was Chasu set (RM17.80), which consists of Chasu Ramen, mini Unagi Don, fruit and Cawan Mushi. The Chasu Ramen was quite okay but would be better if they are using the onsen egg instead of hard boiled egg. Unagi was way smaller than the photo illustrated in menu, but taste wise, still acceptable.

Baby ordered Salmon Cheese set (RM19.80), which comes with fried salmon, udon, rice, fruit, Cawan Mushi and Miso Soup. According to the friendly waitress, this is one of the most popular dish. We find it unique as the cheese was hidden inside the fried salmon, just like Cordon Bleu, wrapped around cheese, breaded and deep-fried. Crispy breaded skin on the outside, melting cheese from the inside. Certainly a good try especially for cheese lover!

We added on another ala carte dish - Dragon Maki (RM10.80). The Dragon Maki was quite good too given the excessive fish roe as the topping. The price was okay too but given the location in Sungai Petani, I believe this is their acceptable price range.

During our visit, Yoshiya Japanese Restaurant was full house, I supposed people find it a good place for friends and family gathering during the weekend, after all there are not many options in Sungai Petani too. If comparing to the other limited neighboring Japanese restaurant in Sungai Petani, Yoshiya Japanese Restaurant is consider as the best.

Go try and let me know how you think!
