Kikyo — in Japanese, a name that speaks of enduring love and eternity.
In Japanese, it speaks of forever love and eternity.
When Kikyo opened at The Troika, KLCC, it was built on a single belief: that the finest evenings in life deserve a setting worthy of them.
That a birthday should feel like the most important night of the year. That an anniversary should remind you why you chose each other. That a graduation, a Valentine's, a Mother's Day — each deserves to be marked somewhere that rises to meet the moment. Kikyo was built to be that place in Kuala Lumpur: an elevated Japanese dining destination made for the occasions that matter, whether over a seasonal omakase or à la carte.
The name is the promise. Forever love. Forever remembered. And an evening — with Malaysia's first premium warayaki experience at its heart — that lives up to both.
Culinary Philosophy
The Experience Behind Every Celebration
Every celebration at Kikyo is anchored by an experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else in Malaysia. At the heart of the dining room, Chef Sean commands an open kitchen where Malaysia's first premium warayaki technique transforms the finest ingredients into the centrepiece of your evening.
The ancient Kochi Prefecture art of searing over imported Japanese rice straw at 900°C+. A technique so rare, Kikyo is the only restaurant in Malaysia that practises it.
Josper Charcoal Oven
The world's finest charcoal-fired oven, used to unlock deep natural flavours with the precision of a master and the finish only fire can give.
Dry Ageing
A patient craft. Moisture expelled, flavour concentrated, texture transformed, revealing each cut at the precise moment it is ready.
Your occasion deserves Kikyo
Whether it's a birthday, an anniversary, a celebration of something that matters
