KNK began in 2000 with a bold mission: to bring authentic Japanese Yakiniku to Malaysia. At a time when the cuisine was still unknown, founder Leow poured his heart into every detail—sourcing tools, refining grilling techniques, and honing knife skills. What set KNK apart wasn’t only premium ingredients, but the discipline and care that revealed the essence of each cut.
For over 25 years, KNK has believed that Yakiniku is not just wagyu quality, but mastery behind every slice. Our chefs train in traditional Japanese butchery, ensuring each cut is precise and enhances taste, texture, and beauty. This dedication won the trust of early Japanese patrons and grew a loyal following by word of mouth.
Today, as Yakiniku thrives in Malaysia, KNK stays true to its craft. We select wagyu raised with respect, but it is the knife—guided by experience and heart—that turns beef into art. KNK is more than a restaurant; it is a tribute to quiet mastery and joyful gatherings.
七輪と備長炭
SHICHIRIN TO BINCHOTAN
Shichirin grills made from diatomaceous earth or ceramic emit far-infrared heat that locks in juiciness. Paired with high-temperature binchotan charcoal, the meat sears quickly, sealing moisture and flavor for tender, succulent bites.
