Exceptional Service and a Magical Birthday Surprise! Just had an incredible omakase dinner at Haku Penang with the family (including our kid and elders!). The food was amazing, but the service and attention to detail were what truly blew us away. The team overheard we were celebrating our daughter's birthday and secretly prepared a special dessert with a dry ice effect that was pure magic. It was such a thoughtful and unforgettable touch. The ambience is lovely, and the staff are incredibly welcoming and professional. Highly, highly recommended for a special night out. They made our family feel so special!

A wonderful and chic Japanese restaurant offering a classic omakase that will delight your taste buds without burning a hole in your pocket. While omakase dining has always been associated with high prices and a commensurate high quality gastronomic experience, Haku Extraordinary Japanese Cuisine offers a full flavoured and delectable 10-course omakase experience at an unbeatable value for money price point!!! The highlights of our meal were surely the sumptuous Karei/Ikura (main course), and the amaebi ceviche, the seared hotate (Hokkaido scallop), and the unforgettable dessert endnotes of Ankimo Macaron and Milk Gelato Walnut Croquant. Exceptionally attentive and courteous table service complements the serene fine dining ambience at this cozy gem of a Japanese restaurant. 5-stars all around!!!
