Man Zen Izakaya 萬膳居酒屋 @ Iconic Point, Simpang Ampat, Penang.

One of the few Japanese restaurants at Iconic Point Simpang Ampat- Man Zen Izakaya offers a big Japanese menu, featuring many classic Japanese delights... from Appetizers, to Don, to Udon/ Soba, Sushi, Teishoku... potentially everything you can name. The prices are however, on the higher side (almost comparable to Penang island's). The tables are well-spaced and the overall dining atmosphere is good and comfortable... service can be more attentive though (we found ourselves asking for Tea refill many times on our visit). Find Man Zen Izakaya on the first floor, right above Guardian at Iconic Point. 


Sushi and Sashimi Zen (Rm 65)


Salmon Sashimi and Ebi Tendon Zen (Rm 48)


Maguro Sushi (Rm 5), Tobiko Sushi (Rm 5) and Ika Sushi (Rm 5)

We took the safest bet and went straight into the Teishoku so we can try a little of everything. We had the Sushi and Sashimi Zen- some of the Sashimi was fresh but some were unfortunately not (you can probably tell from the color). The Sashimi was however, generously sliced to the right thickness. Another one was Salmon Sashimi and Ebi Tendon Zen, the Ebi Tendon was good but we would personally prefer the Tendon to have more sauce.... a tad too dry towards the end. Each Teishoku comes with a Chawanmushi, Miso Soup, Salad (drenched in dressing) and fruit (Orange in our case).
