Thoughts: Hakone Japanese Restaurant in Pekan Ayer Itam, Penang, is a neighborhood eatery located at 609B, Jln Balik Pulau, known for serving affordable, casual Japanese comfort food, including ramen, rice bowls (donburi), and set meals. Managed by a chef with experience in Omakase, it offers a homely, accessible dining experience in the Air Itam area. BUT, according to the lady boss, they have taken over the business from the previous owner since early November of 2025 but decided to remain the same restaurant name of Hakone, with a refresh menu of Japanese, Asian, and Fusion dishes.
