Rakuzen - Publika Solaris Dutamas

We used to pass by Rakuzen through the entrance of Publika West Gate but we've never eaten there before because there are simply too many restaurants in Publika. We finally got to try this Japanese restaurant yesterday. The place looked nice and classy. We walked in without a reservation, luckily seats are available. 

FYI: We arrived at 7pm on Saturday.  

Unatama Jyu Zen (Roasted eel and omelette on rice set)
Unatama Jyu Zen - RM38
Roasted eel and omelette (rice set)

Udon with assorted sushi, chawanmushi, tofu, fruits
Sushi to Mini Udon Zen - RM40
With the combination of sushi and udon in small portion, specially for those who can't make up their mind between udon and sushi. The set is served with chawanmushi, tofu, and fruits.

I found out that set order is way worthy. However, make sure you have someone to share with because their food portion is quite large.


Udon topped with Tempura, served with california roll, chawanmushi, fruits
Nabeyaki Udon to California Maki Zen - RM50
Udon in claypot served with Tempura, California roll, chawanmushi, fruits.

 I love the soup and the udon is chewy. Chawanmushi is so tempting. The tempura is not that crispy as they served it by topping it on the udon. I used to love the crispiness of tempura. Probably this is the way to serve Nabeyaki Udon? I have no idea but I really enjoy the crispiness of tempura.


Salad served with crab meat and chef's special dressing
Pari Pari Kani Salada (Big) - RM36

Lastly, the Pari Pari Kani Salada! I love the texture of crab meat and the salad dressing is so special. We can't help but finish it within few minutes.

Overall, I think Rakuzen is slightly cheaper than one of the Japanese restaurant we used to go in Hartamas. Rakuzen serves a wide range of Japanese cuisine at reasonable price. Food served is worth for money due to its quality, freshness and portion size. Besides, food is served within a short time. Staffs are friendly and helpful.
