Thoughts: Instead of Modern grill methods in most restaurants, "炉端焼き Robataya Izakaya" offers the authentic way of Japanese charcoal grill Japanese Grill which is using an "居炉裏 irori" (traditional Japanese "sunken 壁爐 hearth" used for heating the home and for cooking food) to grill meats. Instead of a ground level "sunken hearth", the waist level traditional charcoal grill can be seen at the entrance to the restaurant.

The Izakaya is located at SS16's Subang Empire, the Japanese restaurants takes up quite a large floor space and have these beautifully decorated semi-private rooms (which required reservations with at least 7 customers) but I see groups coming in with only 4 people got the reserved rooms. Hint: when you call to book these reservations, just say it is booking for 7 people and you will likely get these nice rooms!
Unfortunately, the Izakaya no longer offer the set meals (that's only for take-outs) BUT the menu is really very extensive. The skewers menu offers about 50 items with prices from rm$3 to rm$22, the skewers sampled today were good, juicy, and not dry.
Fun Facts: The Japanese word izakaya (居酒屋) is made up of three kanji with the meaning, in order, “stay-drink-place.” A spot to grab a drink, settle in, and get comfortable. And in Japan, it is usually a small place, typically inexpensive, dishes and snacks are served to accompany the alcoholic drinks. Usually a place for the working class to unwind after work with common menu items include 生魚 sashimi, 烤雞肉串 yakitori, 烤肉 grilled meat and 海鮮 seafood, 沙拉 salads, 泡菜 pickles, 油炸食品 fried foods, 地方美食 regional delicacies, 火鍋菜餚 hot pot dishes, 米飯 rice and 麵食 noodle dishes.
The same can be said for Malaysia too as there are plenty of 居酒屋 Izakayas scattered around (in KL and PJ). Izakayas here usually offers quite extensive menu item choices as well as alcoholic drinks and sake.
