🍢 Shibui Yakitori Bar @ SkyAvenue, Genting Highlands

#gentingattractions Step into a cozy slice of Japan in the clouds at Shibui Yakitori Bar, perched on Level 4 of SkyAvenue. Inspired by Showa-era izakayas, this spot offers a laid-back, semi-outdoor vibe with unique double-decker seating and vintage charm . ⸻ 🔥 Must-Try Highlights • Yakitori Platter (RM 60–70): smoky, juicy skewers—chicken thigh, beef, lamb, veggies—all expertly grilled. One Lemon8 review gave it a solid 9/10: “Yakitori Platter … smooky‑2 I like!”  • Chicken Teriyaki Don (RM 33): juicy meat and rich sauce—rated 8.5/10 by a foodie reviewer . • Draft Sake & Japanese beers: perfect pairing for the cool Genting chill . ⸻ 🏡 Atmosphere & Decorum • Vintage aesthetic with an open kitchen/bar and comfy cubicle seats—great for relaxed group dining . • Cozy & casual: ideal for yakitori lovers and those seeking a casual Japanese bar in Genting . ⸻ ❗ User Feedback Summary • Food: generally tasty skewers and don bowls, though some note mild saltiness or overcooking in beef/lamb . • Service & Wait Times: friendly staff, but longer waits (up to 1 hr) during peak periods; elevated seating becomes warm under spotlights . • Value: slightly pricey, yet many consider the food and experience worth it (). ⸻ 🕒 Insider Tips Tip Details Reserve or arrive early Open daily 10 am–10 pm (Fri/Sat till ~11:30 pm) () Best combos Go for yakitori platter + Chicken Don; wash down with sake or Japanese beer Beat queues Visit during weekday daytime or avoid dinner peak Seating note Upper seats great for view—but may get warm from lighting ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict Shibui Yakitori Bar brings smoky skewers, savory donburi, and sake in a retro-Japanese setting—high-altitude comfort food at its best. If you’re into yakitori and laid-back vibes, it’s a can’t-miss stop in Genting’s SkyAvenue. Just prepare for a bit of a wait—and maybe less salty if you’re sensitive.
