"Had dinner there and the foods taste great, salad mixed with unique souce and had adequate amount of portion. I will visit again."

"We had our dinner there and we all agreed that the food was really good. The salad we had was really refreshing and delicious. The garlic fried rice was sometime everyone loved. The salmon sashimi and salmon roe don was very good too. The tempura was also something that I would recommend."

"Mokuren offers some of the most authentic Japanese cuisine I’ve experienced outside of Japan. The food is truly excellent. While the venue is quite small and the seating can feel a bit cramped, it doesn’t take away from the experience. If anything, the crowd gives the place a warm, happening, and lively energy that makes it feel like a hidden gem in Tokyo. Service is standard and efficient; no complaints there. If you prioritize food quality above all else, this is a must-visit."

"Fresh and awesome for sushi/shasimi lover but cooked food can say OK only. Service average and not QR order deserve 1 star extra. Atmosphere abit pack but still consider clean."

"Mokuren Ipoh! One of the best Japanese shops in ipoh <3 – Homey, Couple-Run Japanese Gem with Outstanding Sashimi, Niku Udon & King Prawn Roll If you’re searching for authentic Japanese food in Ipoh, Mokuren is a rare find. This is not a commercial chain — it’s a small, couple-run Japanese restaurant where genuine care and passion are felt in every detail. The sashimi is a standout: impeccably fresh, clean-tasting, and precisely sliced, allowing the natural sweetness of the fish to shine. It’s simple, confident, and quality-driven — exactly how sashimi should be. Their niku udon is pure comfort food. The broth is deeply umami yet light, the beef is tender and flavourful, and the udon noodles have the perfect chew. It’s warm, satisfying, and incredibly well balanced. Another must-order is the king prawn roll — crisp, generous, and beautifully done without being greasy. The sweetness of the prawn comes through clearly, making it a great complement to the lighter sashimi and hearty udon. What truly sets Mokuren apart is its homey, intimate atmosphere. Being run by a couple gives the restaurant a personal, welcoming feel — like dining at a small neighbourhood spot in Japan. The service is sincere and unhurried, making the entire experience relaxed and memorable. If you’re searching for: • Best Japanese restaurant in Ipoh • Authentic sashimi Ipoh • Niku udon Ipoh • King prawn roll Ipoh • Hidden Japanese gem Malaysia Mokuren Ipoh is absolutely worth seeking out — a place you’ll want to return to. I would absolutely go back to this place again."

"Love everything here . The crab porridge is great and so sweet . Buy I guess it’s a little peppery but still take nice and yummy . The salmon are so fresh but it’s a little too thick cut but taste is still good . Service is good and fast serving . Love the atmosphere here but parking is hard here on weekdays or even weekends . Highly recommended"

"One of my absolute favorite Japanese restaurants! The sashimi here is incredibly fresh, with each bite melting in your mouth. Their red snapper soup is a true comfort dish—perfectly warm and packed with the soothing flavor of ginger. It never fails to leave me feeling satisfied and cozy. Highly recommend this place for authentic Japanese cuisine! 真是天花板级别的美味!"

"Mokuren is currently my favorite Japanese restaurant in Ipoh. The owner is very meticulous about the ingredients and cooking methods. The sashimi is extremely fresh. The owner often prepares special dishes for customers, which are not available in ordinary Japanese restaurants in Ipoh. Having traveled to Japan many times, I find the Japanese cuisine prepared by the owner comparable to the local delicacies in Japan. Whenever I miss Japanese food, I visit Mokuren."
