Bukit Jalil is known as one of the most opulent, high-rolling suburbs in the entirety of Malaysia. The National Sports Complex, containing the famous Stadium Bukit Jalil, is on the east side of the area and is one of the most popular sites for visitation in the country. What is there to eat while you’re here in Bukit Jalil? Here are 12 of Bukit Jalil’s best food spots highly recommended by SGMYTRIPS that you absolutely must try!
1. SHIN ZUSHI
1. SHIN ZUSHI
A Japanese restaurant praised by many, Shin Zushi serves some good Japanese food at an affordable price. A quaint spot that is relatively small, they get a better control on their quality and service. We recommend trying out their aburi sushi and sushi rolls. Lunch sets are available too and they’re worth the money. Do come a little earlier during peak hours as they’re usually full.
Location: Ground Floor, No.11, Jalan Jalil Jaya 7 Jalil Link, Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur
Opening hours: 11.30 am-10 pm
