Kingu Kongu

In a city full of good Japanese food, Kingu Kongu is a fun spot that stands out from the pack for its Muslim-friendly menu of contemporary Japanese cuisine covering everything from sushi, sashimi and yakitori to don and soba — a broad appeal that keeps the tables turning over, especially on weekends. Come for the beef tataki, grilled whole squid, and unagi maki with cheese (Malaysians love all things cheese, after all). Note: The Muslim-owned restaurant doesn’t have its halal certification yet, but it states that it serves only food made with halal ingredients, and does not offer alcohol on its menu. There’s a prayer room on-site.
