Allow customer to create their own sushi rolls by selecting the fillings, wrappings, etc themselves. Located somewhere below The Red Beanbag.

We were warmly welcomed by the staff and were shown to our designated table. It was a rather breezy order, as there were already some dishes that they specifically wanted me to try. We just ordered some other dishes that caught our attention (without thinking that perhaps we would not be able to finish so much) and our drinks. We wished we had bigger stomaches!

San Nae Deul is non-halal with meaty assortments of pork, chicken and beef, all available either in BBQ or non-BBQ styles. The rest of the menu is also extensively filled with Korean delicacies such as jiggae, fried rice, soups, and many more. The marinated chicken slices were served raw for barbecuing on the table itself. The marination was sufficient and flavourful, satisfactorily good when wrapped in lettuce with the Korean sauce. The grilling hot pan is imported from Korea to provide intense heat and immediate cooking. Plus, it doesn't emit much smoke hence it doesn't require any exhaust pipe protruding from the ceiling (which very often seems to take up ample of space and pretty annoying) for ventilation purposes. It is advisable that grilling be done with care and it doesn't take more than a couple of minutes for your meat to reach its optimum cookedness so over-grilling will cause parts of your meat to be charred. If you aren't confident of barbecuing yourselves, seek assistance from San Nae Deul's team of servers who are very adept at grilling for you.

Our verdict? Sadly not worth the RM100 paid. The unagi was tasty yes but the flesh was really soft as though it has been refrigerated for too long. The texture was a real disappointment for us and when consulted with the waiter, we were told it's meant to be like that. Strange. We're still glad we made the trip to Uokatsu though. The grilled items and the mentai rice were excellent, I can't say the same for the rest. If the craving for really good grilled saba and squid kicks in, I know where to go for a fix.

Tsubohachi Malaysia – A new Japanese Izakaya restaurant in Publika Solaris Dutamas KL that is worth visiting for Sub-Zero Asahi Super Dry, stay for Umeshu and Yuzushu Glass On The Rock, get carried away with Nagashi Somen Setto.

Reasons to visit: the stylish New York atmosphere, fun cocktails made for sharing, American comfort food, tempting desserts!

Verdict: Food was above average but the price range not really wallet friendly.

At TRYST, it is where everyone relaxes and unwinds. Let loose and be loud.

Overall, we were pleased with our experience at Tryst and it has become one of our favorite places to eat in Publika. I like that they are sticking to the fundamentals by serving affordable, unpretentious and filling food. At night, Tryst buzzes with customers, many of them shisha lovers who come to hang out and relax till late.

Black Truffle Shanghai Mini Dumplings, Steamed Scallop with Baby Abalone Dumplings and Chicken & Shrimp Dumplings with Mushrooms (RM62) are some of the steamed dim sums to check out. Bite into a soupy Shanghai mini dumpling enhanced with highly prized and aromatic black truffle, the soup is exquisitely delicious as well as the filling. The crystal skin steamed scallop and abalone dumpling has delicious bouncy textures as well as spot on flavours. The chicken & shrimp dumpling or Siew Mai is also sufficiently satisfying in terms of flavours and textures too.

It's a great place for simple Thai noodles - not so simple if you're planning to go for lobsters! If you're not good with chilli, do request for less chilli because everything seems to be way too spicy.

All in all, it was an enjoyable meal with great company and none of us felt there was anything we could find fault with. Sae Ma Eul’s prices are sensible for the food quality and serving size, and the service we experienced was excellent as well. I think our BBQ pan was replaced with a new one at least 5 times – all without having to ask at all.

You may say nothing great but yeah, it’s worth a try when you’re at Bestari.

Overall Rating: 6/10. The food I sampled that evening was quite delicious, especially the BBQ meats - you have to try those.

Another surprise at the Wall Street bar at Solaris Dutamas KL is that, the finger food is rather good. They make you wait forever, and wonder if it will ever come, but, it does. Of better quality than your regular bar food, this might just keep us coming back for more unlimited happy hours to come.

It's an interesting concept and a variance in tastes, I would like give another try in the future.
