Hana Japanese Restaurant enjoys a popularity, which was quite unexpected for when it was so new. Even now that it’s no longer the only Japanese Restaurant at City Mall, there’s always a crowd at Hana Japanese Restaurant.

But like other popular restaurants in Borneo, Hana Japanese Restaurant has found success in the combination of good service and good food, attracting customers in droves.

Hana Japanese Restaurant is situated on the right side of City Mall, opposite Old Town White Coffee and near Big Apple Donuts. Having recently added an outside seating area, the inside area consists of several inlets and areas providing a level of privacy to diners.

In the front of the shop the sushi train displays a selection of delicacies, which can either be picked from the train perpetually looping the sushi counter, or ordered.

Using a system of the usual colour-coded plates, dishes range in price from RM2 to RM10.

The menu of Hana Japanese Restaurant features creative Japanese dishes not seen elsewhere in KK’s growing number of Japanese restaurants.

The usual set dishes with either fish, beef or chicken as the main, is interspersed with creative dishes like deep fried tofu, chicken skewers, squid sticks and the must-try sushi pizza.

The sushi pizza is salmon on a deep fried rice bed, and if you don’t love it the first time, you certainly will like it. The menu is peppered with an irresistible collection of small dishes that begs to be tried.

What is noticeable from the moment you try to open the door before a light-footed staff member does it for you, is that Hana Japanese Restaurant’s staff are very attentive. Plates are cleared virtually the moment they become empty and green teas are replenished moments after your last sip.

Prices on the menu at Hana Japanese Restaurant are reasonable, and vary from RM6 for some of the individual dishes, up to RM20 for set meals and more for some of the premium meat dishes. It’s easy to push up your own bill, because the food is delicious and inviting, making self control hard.

When you have a craving for not just traditional Japanese food, but Japanese food with an edge, then you’ll find satisfaction at Kota Kinabalu’s City Mall by visiting Hana Japanese Restaurant.

Highlights on the Starters section include Little Italy’s bread basket, the talk of the town, a variety of Bruschetta, and the Soup of the Day, which is usually one of the first things the waiters will highlight for you.

From the mains menu everything has the potential to be a favourite, but as we favour pizza here at sabahbah.com, the pizza pollo e funghi comes highly recommended and features chicken and mushrooms smothered in a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.

From the dessert menu it would be wrong not to highlight the Tiramisu, as of the many places in KK where this traditional dessert can be sampled, it is arguably the most outstanding at Little Italy.

The Wine List features a selection of Italian wines and is supported by a beverage menu that includes soft drinks, juices and a generous selection of Aperitivi, gourmet and imported coffees.

Opposite 1Borneo in a development called Alamesra, lies Seremban Seafood Restaurant which is fast gaining a good reputation.

Of seafood restaurants KK and Sabah has no shortage and although many have a wide selection, some are known for a specific little ocean treasure.

Such is Seremban Seafood Restaurant in the complex opposite 1Borneo, that it is fast gaining a reputation for it’s crabs. And even though it’s a good 20 minutes outside Kota Kinabalu, those who drive there do so willingly.

Seremban Seafood Restaurant has, as expected, a menu full of delicacies from the sea, but it’s the mud crabs that has everybody talking.

Could it be the tasty basting sauce, which people literally lick off their fingers, or is it perhaps the fact these crabs are some of the bigger ones you can find in KK? Whatever it is, the relatively small restaurant seems to be doing brisk business in it’s surrounding which are still eerily unoccupied as the complex is new.

Once 1Borneo completes later in the year and more tenants flock to this cluster of shop lots, queue are anticipated. So if you crave a good crab, a visit to Seremban Seafood Restaurant now might give you the opportunity to say ‘I ate there long before they were famous’ later on.

Of course, driving out all that way you can’t stick to the crab only, even if it is some of KK’s best crab. Luckily the rest of the menu is pretty mouth-watering as well.

Other seafood sampled included the prawns, which a rich buttery sauce, which will have the prawns melt in your mouth. Then there’s the Shop Speciality bean curd; beans, scallops and veggie surrounding an odd-looking, but flavoursome bean curd soaked in a sweet-and-tangy sauce. A variety of veggie balances the ample seafood menu.

Prices are reasonable, if a little on the steep side for the drinks. Soft drinks are RM4 each and fruit juices RM5. As per the included pictures, the crab is RM58.30, the prawn RM30, the veggies RM18 and the Shop Speciality Tofu was RM12, which is not bad for a seafood dinner in KK.

If you’re in the area, feel like exploring or just got to have some tasty crabs, then you’re well recommended to visit Alamesra for a sitting at Seremban Seafood Restaurant.

Seremban Seafood Restaurant is located in Alamesra, a new development opposite the soon-to-be-completed 1Borneo just outside of Kota Kinabalu.

Serving a range of seafood, it’s fast gaining a reputation in KK for it’s sizeable and delicious mud crabs.
