With Subang Jaya’s diverse population, there’s no shortage of eateries and different kinds of cuisines offered. However, this also comes with a common first-world problem—deciding what to eat!
We’ve divided this list into different types of cuisines to make it easier (maybe) for you to answer the big question of the day: “What to eat today, ah?”
Korean
Sae Ma Eul BBQ, SS15
Korean Barbeque is perfect for that special office lunch occasion or when you’re dining with a group of friends. Their all-you-can-eat menu and affordable prices make it easier for conversations over a grill as you eat to your heart’s content.
Address: 62, Jalan SS 15/4d, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Mukó, USJ10, Taipan
This little Korean cafe serves simple and decent dishes at a reasonable price. Although small in size, it welcomes a steady stream of customers who return for the homey and friendly atmosphere. They’re located on the first floor and have a variety of vegetarian and meatless choices for those with dietary restrictions.
Address: No. 26, Jalan USJ 10/1e, Taipan Business Centre, 47620 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Japanese
Sumi-Ka, SS15
Located on the second floor, Sumi-Ka transports you to a small and smoky Japanese Izakaya for a bit. Yakitori is the main attraction here, and reservations are highly recommended as the place is usually packed. The Japanese chef grills everything to juicy perfection!
Address: 19, Jalan SS 15/4, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Asumo, SS15
This Japanese-owned-and-run restaurant is perfect for your first foray into Yakiniku (Japanese grilled meat). Their Yakiniku set lunches come highly recommended, and you get to choose between different grades of beef. Prices are affordable, considering the meat choices, and you’ll get to experience cooking your own beef slices over the flame.
According to our local source, the sides that come with the lunch set are nice (not an afterthought), and if you have the stomach for dessert after, their Matcha Tiramisu will be the perfect end to your meal. Asumo is also great for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries, as they have private rooms of various sizes.
Address: No. 49 & 51, Jalan SS 15/5a, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Jyu Raku, SS15
With an extensive menu, this casual-dining Japanese restaurant has something for everyone. From their fresh sashimi to value-for-money set meals, the food here won’t let you down. You’ll see Japanese folks dining here too, so you know the food here is Japanese-approved. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant can get packed during mealtimes.
Address: 13, Jalan SS 15/5a, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Fusion
The Foxhole, SS18
Foxhole is quite a popular bakery cafe, so be prepared to wait a little bit for seats. Alternatively, you can get desserts to enjoy at home. The cafe has great natural lighting and is a great spot for breakfast, as it opens at 9am.
Address: 33, Jalan SS 18/1b, Ss18, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
RATA Restaurant, SS15
In the mood for a great atmosphere, nice food, and a couple of drinks? Head over to RATA, where the pizza is raved about. Our local foodie recommends the Beef Pepperoni & Pulled Beef Pizza, although we’re pretty sure you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes here. Enjoy a yummy cocktail and splurge a little on your special night out with loved ones.
Address: 25, Jalan SS 15/5a, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Diners
Hot Bird, SS15
This is what our local foodie said: “It’s the best fried chicken I’ve ever had.” The adjectives she used were: well-flavoured, juicy, freshly fried, good portions. The thick-cut fries are a plus point. ‘Nuff said. You’ve got to try these Nashville Style Hot Chickens for yourself.
Address: 25, Jalan SS 15/4, SS15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Fowl Boys, SS15
Another fried chicken contender is Fowl Boys, which also serves juicy, crispy chicken, burgers, and milkshakes. You can pick different spice levels for your chicken, especially if your tongue’s not keen on spice. Our local foodie recommends the Sugar Daddy burger for a sweet and savoury experience, paired with tangy slaw, gherkins, and a garlic mayo potato bun.
Address: 38, Jalan SS 15/4b, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Cor Blimey! British Fish & Chips
For an authentic British Fish and chips experience, head on over to Cor Blimey. With various kinds of sharing platters available, you’ll get to sample a little bit of everything to see what you like. Choose from different batters (our local foodie loves the Western Curry) and sides, and upgrade from Dory to better-quality fish if you’d like. The Homemade English Lemonade is the perfect drink to pair your meal with!
Address: 23, Jalan SS 15/4, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Indian
Canai 15 Cafè, SS14
If you’re looking for a nice place to lepak that has good food, Canai is the place to go. Their afternoon mixed rice spread is great for a satisfying meal, and their dhal slaps. Breakfast, lunch, tea time, dinner, or supper, they’ve got you covered.
Address: 99, Jalan SS 14/1, Ss 14, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Moorthy’s Mathai Restaurant, USJ4
Craving for some banana leaf rice? Here’s one spot our local foodie recommends. Of course, you can expect the usual suspects from a banana leaf rice meal, but you’ve got to try their fried fish egg. It will blow your mind.
Address: 24, Jalan USJ 4/9g, Usj 4, 47600 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Indonesian
Wartek, SS15
Previously named Kotak, we’d advise that you dine here only if you can handle the spice! The Ayam Geprek is a must-try, and the sambal has the perfect balance of spicyness and fragrance from the garlic. No frills, good Indonesian food? Wartek, here we come!
Address: 10, Jalan SS 15/8b, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Malaysian
Nasi Lemak Shop, SS15
I mean, the name pretty much says it all, right? No Malaysian can argue with the fact that a plate of fragrant nasi lemak pretty much always makes a bad day a little better. The best part about this place? Sambal refills are on the house!
Address: G12 & G12A, Jln SS 15/4G, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
