It was my first time meeting my son’s future parents in law and I decided to arrange dinner get together at Iketeru. As I was staying at Hilton, I made reservations through the hotel for a private room for the occasion. The restaurant normally charges RM 100 for the private room but this was waived when they heard that it was a family occasion to discuss wedding plans for our children. This was a first indication on having a good start to a fantastic time we were going to have that evening. Iketeru is situated at the pool level of Hilton hotel and the overall feature of the restaurant entrance was like a Japanese tea house. As you enter the restaurant you will see the teppanyaki station on the right. We were lead to the private room to the left of the restaurant. The entire restaurant felt cozy and bright. The private room was well appointed and the 5 of us felt comfortable as the room was a fair sized one.When it came to ordering, we found the menu extensive with the normal Japanese fairs like sushi, maki, sashimi, tempura, udon etc. We ordered a mix of sushi, sashimi, fried udon and the Wagyu set which comprised of hotpot and teppanyaki style beef. The entire selection of food was absolutely delectable! The sushi and sashimi were fresh and flavourful. The highlight of the dinner meal was the Wagyu set of course. The Wagyu for the hotpot was finely sliced when the beef was put in the pot, it didn’t take long to cook and it was absolutely tender to eat. Then there was the Wagyu teppanyaki. This was done to perfection and the beef just melted in your mouth when eaten. Some may find the Wagyu set pricey but I found it to be good value for money and definitely a MUST try if ever you have a meal at Iketeru. The great food and the wonderful ambience of Iketeru made for a fantastic and successful evening in the discussion for my son’s wedding. I can’t thank the Iketeru team enough for making a significant evening so memorable for my son, his future wife, future in laws and me. Iketeru will forever hold a special place to us now and I will make it a point to return again whenever I am in KL for work or vacation. Domo Arigato Iketeru!
