Kozan Teppan-yaki

Kozan’s interior echoes the minimalist aesthetics of a classic Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant combined with a clean, modern design. Kozan, meaning ‘mountain’ in Japanese, was adopted in admiration of Mount Kinabalu, one of South East Asia’s highest mounta

We both ordered steaks, they were excellent. The experience was let down somewhat by the chef not interacting really, maybe he was not confident in English tho so not worth complaining about. We had a rare steak and a well done, both were cooked to perfection. The vegetables were very tasty. I would have expected the jasmine tea to be loose leaf tea and not a tea bag, that was a shame.Alcohol is expensive. Dear susan2909, Thank you for your review of your recent stay with us at the Rasa Ria Resort. I am glad that you have enjoyed your meal and will be addressed with our team to improve the overall dining experience.We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.Regards,Roger

We came for lunch. Buffet. Porkless dim sum was not delicious and those who are not used to it may want to pass. Buffet had little choice and concept is confused or confusing. Staff very good. Lunch concept at this place requires a re jig.
