About KIKYO (Ala Carte)

KIKYO, established in 2023 at The Troika, KLCC, delivers Kuala Lumpur's highest standard of Japanese fine dining. The restaurant centres its experience on the rare Warayaki cooking method and the meticulous culinary approach of Head Chef Sean Thu.  A Seasonal Journey   You experience a complete immersion into Japan’s seasonal shifts through KIKYO’s signature 11-course Omakase. The menu follows the rhythm of nature. It begins with delicate appetizers and progresses to the intensity of straw-grilled mains. Chef Thu balances the 900°C flame of the Warayaki with precise, quiet plating. This structure ensures you taste the clean, distinct flavors of each ingredient.  Curated Sake Pairings   KIKYO presents a masterfully curated sake experience. Unlike wine pairings that often focus on acidity to cut through fat, this sake selection focuses on texture and umami enhancement. The curation complements the smoky aroma of the Warayaki dishes. It creates a seamless flavor profile that wine cannot always achieve.  The Versatile Dining Options  Fine dining does not always require a full multi-course commitment. KIKYO offers an extensive à la carte and lounge menu for a more casual evening. You can enjoy specific dishes and the atmosphere without the time investment of the full Omakase. This makes KIKYO an approachable destination for both special occasions and spontaneous dinners.  The venue features a chic second-floor lo unge for bespoke cocktails and premium spirits. KIKYO provides a complete evening destination for every preference.
