Yama & J Fusion Sushi Buffet @ Jaya On, PJ
Japanese
food – Yay or Nay? As for a Japanese food lover like meJ, I’m indeed fortunate to have the
opportunity to go for food-tasting.
Yama & J, a Fusion sushi restaurant was opened about a year back by a partnership of three. Head Chef, Chef Yama San has more than 26 years of sushi making experience as he has been living in a cross-cultured lifestyle - from Japan to New York. By returning to homeland with all the experiences in food industry, Chef Yama San is ready to serve another style of sushi with passion and creativity to the public.
As
for the night, the restaurant was closed-off for Joe’s birthday celebration and
also for this dining event.
There
was loads of sashimi (fresh and imported) going around that night……
Sashimi Boat 1...
Sashimi Boat 2...
Before
dinner, let’s have some tidbits!!!!!!
First
up, Salmon Belly Kudu [RM68]....
A
slice of smooth salmon belly topped with chopped garlic, scallions and ebiko
meeting with special sauce, together with their signature freshly made wasabi. The
combination of little burning sensation and the smooth meaty taste definitely makes
you want for more.
Fresh Oysters - 12 Pieces [RM48]
Fresh
oysters topped with fusion sauce are meant to be soaking up with one breath. For
those who likes to eat oysters but afraid of the “smell”, you gonna try this
out as the fusion sauces will overlay the “smell”.
Tokyo Smoke Duck [RM6/each]
My
pick of the night – Smoked Duck Sushi!! The slice of the smoked duck meat was
juicy (with a little fat) and flavorful as the duck meat was not overly smoked
(freshness and sweetness of duck meat still remain).
Salmon Belly Osaka [RM68]
Another
version of salmon belly, the Salmon Belly Osaka was sliced thinly and served
with black pepper, cilantro and chef’s signature sauce that had an unmistakable
sour taste to it. If I were to pick between Salmon Belly Kudu and Salmon Belly
Osaka, I certainly will go Salmon Belly Kudu as Salmon Belly Osaka.
Japanese Lasagna
With
the concoction of snow crab meat and avocado underneath while coated with a
layer of baked cheese and chef’s signature sauce, this certainly a beautiful
dish. However, this appeared to be slightly too complicated to know what’s
exactly lies underneath.
Fuji Volcano Roll [RM43]
Art Of Maki
Consists
of hammered tuna, avocado and crabmeat wrapped with tuna – most uncomplicated
dish of the night. Frankly speaking, it would be best without sitting on a pool
of yuzu sauce.
Seafood Martini [RM43]
Everyone
seemed reluctant to eat this beautiful creation by the chef!!!! Tuna, white
tuna, and salmon slices, layed on a martini glass with yuzu and wasabi sauce.
It was too saucy; however, the slices of sashimi were fresh and had great
textures.
Eiffel Tower [RM58]
I
was thinking how I am going to eat this, but guess what, the spicy tuna tartare
need to eat with a tea-spoon!!! In fact, this wasn’t my cup of tea as the rice
was too mushy and it is hardly for me to identify what’s inside.
Happy Sumo [RM43]
It
had shrimp tempura, cream cheese and snow crab inside; deep-fried with potato
strip around and topped with chef’s signature yuzu sauce(citrusy flavor), eel sauce(savory
flavor) and strawberry sauce(sweet and sour flavor). I was glad that there were
numerous flavors going on in the dish. Thumbs Up!!!
This
is one of the more affordable Japanese buffet in town – priced at RM48++
(Lunch) and RM88++ (Dinner). You can make order from their a la carte menu and
there are also special deals for VIP card members.
Overall Rating: 6/10. As for the night progressed, those
dishes were eventually out of your expectations – full of surprise and
tempting. If you’re a sashimi lover, fusion food lover, adventurous or even
willing to accept new things around, you definitely have to head over to Yama
& J. However, there were too much sauces going around that night.
