About the restaurant

Our journey began in 2022 in Malaysia with our first restaurant nestled in Bamboo Hills, offering an unparalleled all-you-can-eat experience featuring A5 Wagyu. Our commitment to delivering the freshest, most affordable A5 Wagyu has resonated with diners, paving the way for our expansion.

In 2024, we proudly introduced our second location in the iconic Twin Tower of Kuala Lumpur. Here, guests enjoy a complete culinary journey with a sushi bar, teppanyaki, and yakiniku, all of which have garnered overwhelming praise. Encouraged by this success, we are thrilled to announce our next chapter at Seri Pacific Hotel.

Happy with all of our cocktails, starters and the pork main but the chicken main was very bland.

The Balcony looked great and we might have chosen that as the day was perfect weather-wise. The Alfresco area was our choice and with the blinds up offers a good view of the gardens

About the restaurant

Think of it as a little love note from Spain, when you take the pleasure of dining at Heno & Rey. The clinking of sangria glasses and the warmth of laughter against the backdrop of Spanish music; the atmosphere is so vibrant and lively that the tapas themselves are almost dancing off the plates. The dishes are deliciously authentic, perfect to share with a few friends or with many.
So, settle in and stay awhile.
