Halal Sushi in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor

Where We Stand on Halal

We are asked this a lot, so here is the plain answer — including the part that is still in progress.

  • Central kitchen

    JAKIM certified

    Our central kitchen, where the food is prepared, has been halal certified by JAKIM under the Malaysian halal food standard MS 1500 since May 2026 (certificate no. 1 092-02/2026).

  • USJ Taipan restaurant

    JAKIM certified

    Sushi Hiro USJ Taipan became our first halal-certified restaurant on 6 November 2026, certified by JAKIM under MS 1500 (certificate no. 2 092-02/2026).

  • Our five other restaurants

    Not yet certified

    Our five other restaurants — Sri Petaling, SS2, Puchong, Menjalara and Klang — are not yet halal certified. We are working towards certification for each of them and will share the news as each one is certified.

What JAKIM Certification Covers

  • Where the food comes from

    Certification looks at the whole journey of our food — where ingredients come from, and how they are stored, prepared and handled.

  • How the kitchen is run

    Hygiene and cleanliness are assessed throughout the kitchen, not just at the point the food is made.

  • Checked, and checked again

    JAKIM audits the kitchen against these requirements before certifying it, and keeps checking afterwards.
