Welcome to Ikigai Izakaya Bar | Yakitori & Highball | Pet Friendly

“ Excellent price point, great staff (shoutout to Nicole!) and the highballs are *chef’s kiss*. Highly recommended. ”

“ Ordered Salmon Donburi. It was nice. The waiters are friendly and a good place to chill on Friday night ”

“ Came couple of times. Had the food but no pics It’s a chill place, Friday slightly abit louder than normal but nice place to come have dinner , have couple of drinks ”

“ A nice izakaya place with 3 versions of highball available, whisky, yuzu and ume. Yuzu highball gives a very fragrant alternative than the usual whisky highball. The yakitori are OK, but would be better if they are slightly charred. ”

“ The yakitori are good stuff! Buy 5 free 1 ;) I tried its chicken thigh and pork. Pretty decent. Pork siumai was solid. Pumpkin was nice The drinks' price is pretty reasonable. Every Fri night 8-10pm free unlimited tuak for ladies. Expect noisier and more people smoking as the night hits. The chanenabe pork is pretty nice and hearty. It will be better if they put less meat balls and more meat slices. I add shime which is rice and egg. Finish about 1/3 of the pot and then pour rice and egg to stir fry it. The spicy ebi ramen doesn't taste authentic Japanese. Tasted like prawn noodle and the bowl look really small so I guess decent sized eater might not like the portion. ”

“ Great place for tuak highballs! Save your tummy for some yakitori - loved the mala and teriyaki flavours. Definitely a gem in Taman Megah. Service here is top notch - always attentive and friendly as ever everytime we visit which is rare in most bars. ”

“ I recently had the pleasure of dining at a new Japanese restaurant, and it was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm and cozy ambiance that immediately made me feel at home. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and enjoyable meal with friends and colleagues. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful recommendations, making us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. Now, let's talk about the food—it was simply outstanding. Once we started indulging in the dishes, we couldn't stop ourselves. The flavors were incredible, and each bite left us wanting more. The attention to detail in the preparation and presentation of the food was evident, and it truly enhanced the overall experience. The menu offered a wide variety of options, from sushi and sashimi to mouthwatering hot dishes, satisfying all our cravings. In conclusion, I highly recommend this Japanese restaurant to anyone seeking a cozy and homely dining experience. The welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and delectable food make it a go-to destination for a delightful meal with friends. Give it a try, and I'm confident you won't be disappointed. ”

“ It’s located at shop lots facing the LDP highway in Taman Megah, turn in from the tayar shop. Parking is easy to get. The environment is bright and spacious, no strong unpleasant smells. The toilet is clean and spacious with a big mirror. Music not too loud, nice to drink and talk. Staffs are attentive and friendly. We ordered a few items from the menu and the mala bacons are great, fat and tasty. Chicken wings are good to go with the drinks. Pizza a little bit dry but overall ok. The yuzu highball is recommended followed by passion fruit and tuak. I personally don’t really like the taste of ume, other than that the Whiskey and gin is good if you like something less sweet. Will definitely come back again to try other foods from the menu. ”
