Looking for good seafood and poultry steamboat these days ain't easy! Let alone, it is not common to find a really good Halal certified steamboat restaurant. Only a selected few that you may come across with and Pak John Steamboat is definitely one of them.


What's different with Pak John Steamboat, is that you get to enjoy free flow of food and beverages! Yes! It's buffet style! Why I love Halal certified food is because we are ensured of the finest ingredients used that meets the requirements and also the method of cooking and managing the kitchen overall is at utmost importance! (Eg. Even the poultry that is selected is important, you can't simply buy any poultry from the nearby market, it has to be of a Halal certified establishment with proper etiquettes and methods in preparing the food for consumption)


And being Malaysian, it is of the greatest joy to be able to dine together with everybody from all walks of life under one roof!


The entrance was really neat and organized. The colours, interiors and branding matched from the floor to the ceiling, plus it is well-lit. It is quite spacious inside and their seating arrangements are of a sharing concept.


Pak John has a variety of choices to satisfy your hunger and even your kids will be excited to be there! Their menu is quite simple, you simply pick the days and time you wanna be there and that will be the price per pax at that selected time slot. If you have a huge group, best is to call for booking or you can just walk in with your family.



They have 5 types of soup to choose from

#1 Prawn soup is my favourite, you can taste and smell the fragrance of the fresh prawn (with no prawn in it but you can add your own later lah). Surprisingly it is not spicy! It's like eating prawn noodle soup! Definitely a must try!
#2 Chicken soup is pretty common and suitable for the kids.
#3 Miso soup also suitable for the kids but it can be a little salty and sweet.
#4 Tom Yam soup was not spicy but it looks like red Tom Yam. I felt that it lacked the "kick" of the rich Tom Yam flavours & scent. Maybe because it was just the soup base. However, you can improvise it on your own to your liking because they have all the seafood, vegetables and sauces for you to play around with.
#5 Curry soup looks rich and some say "fragrant" but I was told it is also spicy! But if you love curry then you can opt. for this flavour!


What I like about this restaurant is that, apart from its steamboat at the bottom base and the grilling pan available on the top, their variety of cooked and raw food are aplenty! Means while waiting for your raw food to be cooked, you can savour the cooked food first. My kids (and my) favourite are the finger food! You can also order Waffles or DimSum and Pao too!

If you are a fan of Beef, Lamb or Abalone, they have a special counter to order these 3 Premium cuts! And it's unlimited, all-you-can-eat!


They also have a variety of noodles for your choosing and right after that there's also desserts, cakes, ice cream and even ABC ice shavings!


Drinks are free flow too! You can try everything, pick the one you love the most (for me it's Lemonade) or you can just opt. for plain water hot, warm or cold!

I really enjoyed the Sizzling Duck Chop (RM29.80), it is tender, soft, succulent and juicy with every bite! It's been tenderized and marinated perfectly before it's grilled to perfection, with the brown sauce over it, it makes this sizzling dish piping hot and juicy to savour! 

They also have, Duck Chop Pasta (RM33.80), grilled savoury duck chop slices complementing linguine pasta sautéed with caramelized onions, mushrooms and brown sauce!

If you're a seafood lover, then you shouldn't miss their Seafood Board (RM32.80), a combo of fish fillet with four pieces of shrimps and four pieces calamari served with salad, fries and tartar sauce. Also their Sizzling Emerald Fish Combo (RM29.80) that comes in a combo of four different combination where you can pair your Emerald Fish with Lamb Cevapi, Chicken Cevapi, Garlic Shrimps or Smoked Beef!

If you enjoy eating burgers like me, then you will definitely enjoy their Smokehouse Burger (RM29.80)! Chargrilled beef patty (150gms) topped with cheddar cheese and sauteed smoked beef, caramelized onions, chilli flakes, served with fries and drizzled with Bistro sauce! Every bite is satisfying and surely keeps your mouth full! Trust me, you cannot eat "politely" with this burger, because it is HUGE! (Must open mouth big big lolx!)

"We would like to create an enjoyable and value for money experience for our guests. Our team are always on-the-go figuring out how to cater to what's best for our guests everyday! And thanks to their dedication and team effort, 60% of the items in this new menu are new based on popularity amongst our guests. After round of testing and due to the great response and high demand, we've also incorporated some dishes from our limited-time offerings from the past 7 months in this new menu." said Muhamad Adam Mah, Brand General Manager of  NY Steak Shack.

I really enjoyed their Sizzling Lamb Noisette (RM58.80), it's actually rolled boneless lamb at the shoulder part, tenderized and marinated, then grilled and served with your choice of 2 sides and sauce. I almost mistook this for Ribeye because of it's medallion shape! 

But it was so juicy and succulent! I'll definitely bring my family over again for more of this! You could hardly taste the mild gamey taste that most lambs would have, because it is well marinated and tenderized before grilling to perfection, and with the sauce over it, it's just a match made in heaven!

At NY Steak Shack, you most definitely have to order their affordable steaks! And some of their popular steak that is now permanent on their menu due to its popularity from a previous limited-time offering campaign, are the Pulled Beef Sandwich (RM26.80) that is made of hand-pulled smoked beef (150gms) with black pepper sauce and caramelized onions, their Sizzling Beef Brisket Steak (RM40.80, 200gms), Beef Meatballs (RM11.80)and Sizzling Darling Downs Wagyu (RM68.80, 200gms).

I love their Sizzling Darling Downs Wagyu (RM68.80, 200gms)! Ordered second servings of it because it's really yummy! Made out of Wagyu Striploin grilled to perfection and served with your choice of two sides and sauce. You can also choose your "Doneness" level, which my favourite are the Medium or Medium Well! Because every bite your teeth sinks into the meat, it actually unleashes a warm juicy and meaty beef that is marinated perfectly to suit your tastebuds! And if you love Wagyu and beef, for the first time ever, NY Steak Shack will be having a Wagyu Steak Eating Challenge where winners get to walk away with FREE meals at NY Steak Shack for an entire year!
