"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect dinner experience at Tanba, Twin Galaxy. The food was absolutely solid every dish was well prepared, flavourful, and satisfying from start to finish. You can really tell the quality and consistency in what they serve. What made the experience even better was the service. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, especially Nick and Lisa, who took great care of us and made us feel very welcome. Their friendliness and professionalism truly elevated the night. Highly recommend Tanba Japanese BBQ for anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Definitely a place worth coming back to."

"Ordered the A5 Japanese Wagyu Course. Good variety of beef cut and marinated flavour options. Recommend Salt and Pepper (do drink plenty of water after the meal) that brings out the best flavour in the wagyu. The Salmon sashimi is very fresh and sliced very thick. The Kimchi Jigae isnt too spicy but had a thick broth which is to my liking. Ordered Soju and watermelon juice which make the meal refreshing. The ambience is cosy and dim with very high ceiling that makes the restaurant feel grand. Overall a great place to dine-in as long as you have a huge appetite. This is not the place for smaller eaters as the price for this restaurant is more expensive due to the type and quality of food served."

"Opted for the Wagyu dinner buffet for our special occasion and the experience was great - The beef cuts and marbling was soooo good (this set has 5 different wagyu cuts to choose from) and taste-wise was so yummy, the service was so quick and attentive! The restaurant ambiance was cozy and cool. Would definitely come here again!"

"Absolutely one of the best Japanese dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, everything from the warm atmosphere to the beautifully prepared food was simply amazing. Every dish was fresh, flavourful, and thoughtfully presented, truly showing the quality and care put into each plate. What made the experience even more special was the outstanding service. Huge shoutout to Romnick and Lisa!!!!! They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel so welcome. Their recommendations were spot on, and they went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment of our meal. Great food is important, but exceptional service makes all the difference and this place truly delivers both. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to come back again"

"Didn’t know where to celebrate the birthday, so we wanted something special. My husband’s younger brother absolutely loves salmon sashimi—he ended up eating 100 slices+! Fortunately, sashimi stock is still available.....WOW We chose the RM198+ buffet set, which came with beef slices. The beef was fresh, and the pork dishes were also unique and tasty. The barbecue flames rising up looked spectacular. The atmosphere was vintage-inspired, carrying a nostalgic touch of the past. The Japanese dishes were incredibly delicious. The highlight was the cake—infused with the fragrance of roses and presented with such artistic design. The rose-shaped salmon sashimi was also exquisite. Highly recommended! The staff’s service felt very high-class and attentive. They understood my needs—when I accidentally ordered the premium ice cream (which had an extra charge), even though I only wanted the regular complimentary one, they came over to kindly remind me and asked if I really needed it. Very thoughtful. They even arranged a very comfortable window-side seat for us. Where else can you find such an awesome experience?"
