Fortune Street in Subang Jaya
Finding a spot with both great food and great vibes is rare, as it’s always one or the other. But the rising popularity of izakaya-style restaurants in Malaysia, with their vibrant neon lights and tasty menus, has made them a cult-favourite for Instagram photos, after-work drinks, and get-togethers with friends.
Luckily, there are places like Fortune Street, a cool spot in Subang Jaya serving up dishes so good, you’ll be thinking about them the next time you’re stuck in a midday office slump.
Mouth-watering menu choices

The menu here is impressively extensive, which is no surprise considering it’s curated by Chef Vic, who clearly knows his way around good food. He’s the mastermind behind other popular food spots in Subang Jaya, like RATA, Chachi, and Big Brooklyn Pizza, each known for its unique concept and menu.
At Fortune Street, the new addition of crispy, golden Sesame Prawn Toast (RM28.90), paired with a smoky Romesco dip, offers an unbeatable crunch.
For bao lovers, they feature a variety of options, including Crispy Sriracha Chicken (RM29.90), Sweet and Sour Softshell Crab (RM33.90), and for something different, the Roasted Duck & Bakkwa (RM28.90) and Tempura Oyster Mushroom (RM27.90) baos.
Their menu blends Western dishes with oriental influences, like the Crispy Orange Chicken Burger for RM35.90. The menu is frequently updated with new and seasonal items, keeping the menu brimming with options. If you’re feeling like you need spice or just a hit of that asian cuisine, then opt for the local favourite Crispy Prawn Fried Rice (RM36.90) from their local food selection.
Pretty much everything is on the menu, so whatever it is you’re feeling, it’s probably here. A range of 14-inch hot stone pizzas from Beef Pepperoni & Pulled Beef (RM51.90) to a Classic New York (RM42.90). The pasta range is just as tempting, with selections like Gochujang & Crispy Prawn Rigatoni (RM38.90).
Deals on quality made drinks
A great meal deserves an equally great drink, and Fortune Street doesn’t disappoint.
Their drink menu speaks volumes, especially with mini cocktails priced at RM20 each or 3 for just RM50. If you’re feeling bold, go for the house-infused sake, specially crafted in-house and perfect for sharing.
Weekday deals like the Tuesday-only buy-3-get-1 offer on Sapporo beers make it even more tempting to swing by this spot for after-work drinks. For something with a twist, try the Ghostini (RM37), a standout cocktail featuring rose umeshu and a delicate rosewater foam.
Vibey spot in a vibrant locale

A lot of the time, the trendiest spots are tucked deep in the heart of KL – great if you’re nearby, but a bit of a trek if you’re living on the outskirts of the city.
But this is what makes this cosy neighborhood gem such a win. You don’t have to head into the city to enjoy good food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that’s just as Instagram-worthy as the ones everyone’s buzzing about. It’s the kind of spot that feels local, laid-back, and effortlessly vibey.
Chef Vic is known on social media for his globetrotting in pursuit of culinary inspiration, and for this spot, it looks like Japan was the muse. From the flavours on the menu to the overall vibe, the Japanese influence adds a fresh, unique twist to the neighbourhood dining scene.
