The Japan Club Of Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

Brendan M.

Well, another time tunnel. Looks like nothing has changed since the mid-eighties. Faded, nostalgic,seemingly frequented by a mixed bunch of members and guests with ties to Japan.

Waiters polite but have trouble pronouncing the menu. Menu comprehensive cheap izakaya style. Food menu looks mediocre cos of the photo presentation but was tasty.

Beer is Carlsberg. What about decent Japanese draft?

So much could be improved here with a refurb. Underwhelming overall. Sad because I lived in Japan for 12 years and so wanted to enjoy my visit here.

Received a recommendation to dine here. The boss and Chef are Japanese. Remember to collect the pass at the guardhouse and tap at the door entrance.

Himawari restaurant is a place for Japan club Malaysia members to dine. As an individual who lived in Nogaya Japan for 2 months as an exchange student, personally I can feel the overall ambience of a cozy japanese restaurant. Price wise is still affordable with good food quality and service. However I feel the food is little bit bland(maybe Malaysians have a heavy tastebud).

A very old place with paranormal activity.

Good environment,
haven't try the Japanese food but will try in future.

Everything was ok until the sun set.

my advise: try not to go level 2 alone at night & do not use upstairs toilet at night.

This is my honest review of JCKL from a Malaysian perspective after being a member for almost five or more years.
Very good environment, library is a very comfortable place to get work done. There are plenty of outlets for everyone to charge their devices. Front desk staffs are super nice and friendly, they immediately try to solve any problems faced by the members. A few shops that sells Japanese products with okay pricing. Restaurant and cafes here are good.
Bad thing is, JCKL is very double standard when it comes to Japanese and non Japanese members in my opinion.
Example: Japanese member complains about library being noisy, executive secretary immediately takes action and writes a notice to be pasted in the library the following few days.
Malaysian member complains about guards constantly stopping them from entering JCKL despite having the car sticker clearly visible on the windshield, front desk and manager only took action after the Malaysian member complained after ten times. The guards was very obviously looking at the face of the driver first, not the car member sticker. The guards, from what I see, are much more friendlier towards the Japanese members meanwhile they give the non Japanese members a black face and never greet or bother to look at us pretending we're not there. Honestly this group of guards and the manager are the worst group, the previous guards were much more nicer and had never of these problems stated.

If you're a Japanese, yeah definitely recommended to join this club. If you're not a Japanese, can join lah but got risk of double standard.
The funny things is, from what I heard, there are more Malaysian members than Japanese members. You don't see us often is because we only come once a week. So I'm not sure why are they treating us so badly.

There is no Comfortable Nursing Room even though they are held baby play groups byweekly. So Each mothers change baby diapers and breastfeeding at the classroom(be held activities). There is nicer than bathroom which is really sad. I hope they improve this issues promptly.

This club is well take care. Only member can use the facilities and have meals here. Western, Japanese restaurant is well known here. Japanese mart also available... really hope I can be the member...

JCKL, a place where if you're Japanese, you're allowed to talk normally in the library with no problem. If you're non Japanese but a Malaysian, you'll be judged for making a sound or not following the same rule as they are following. Not recommended for Malaysians who want to hang out there to be honest. I always get eyes looking at me when I was working on my laptop. Honestly JCKL is pretty bias.

Working in here. Parking is free. The restaurant is quite good. They got their daily limited menu as well. If you come aeound morning or noon, please try the coffee house as well.
