Their Mix and Match Set was given a good review so I decided to try it. Pick any 2 dishes for MYR14.90 or any 3 dishes for MYR21.50 - after we have ordered we found out that the prices are different for different combinations but the prices are roughly around the stated price.
Mix and Match Set 1: Salmon Zuke Don, Tempura Udon, Mentai Gohan. All small portions. MYR23.70 (inclusive of 10% service charge and 6% GST).
Salmon Zuke Don - Sashimi salmon slices marinated in yuzu (a citrus fruit) juice - the taste is more sweet than sour. I find this dish to be appetising due to the yuzu juice.
Tempura Udon - The single prawn tempura is crispy and the udon is chewy. Quite all right.
Mentai Gohan - This dish is the favourite dish of the online review that I read so I have high expectation of it. The mentaiko (fish roe) has a very slight hot and spicy taste. Those who like to eat crispy seaweed and mentaiko would like this dish that is a bit on the salty side.
Saba Kabayaki - Small piece of saba drenched in Kabayaki sauce (sweet soy sauce). Good for those who love sweet sauce and are indifferent to the saba.
Half salmon steak - this salmon is also for those who are indifferent to salmon.
Miso soup and chawanmushi - passable.
This is our order
Now this chain is also using electronic devices (tablets) for their customers to enter the orders. We did not order anything from this page.
We ordered two items from this page
The prices for the colour coded plates/items from the conveyor belt. We did not select any item from the conveyor belt.
Sausage sushi anyone?
This outlet is at the Mines Shopping Center
Not a fan of the outlet here. Waited for over 2 hours for our a la carte orders...and 3 hours after we left the place, plus it wasn't cheap. I can jolly well live without this kind of torture! Once is already one time too many! :(
ReplyDeleteThat was really a bad experience. No wonder you boycott them forever.
DeleteHaha, even with their revamped menu, I still find it hard to get motivated to come to this chain. The only times I come is when the friends/colleagues want to come and I just follow..
ReplyDeleteYou did not persuade your friends/colleagues not to go to this place?
DeleteI tried before, and gave up... Penangites especially, I think they love this place because it is slightly cheaper compared to Sakae or Sushi Tei, and they think the food is similar quality... *scratch head*
DeleteGuess they are just going for value for money and not for taste.
DeleteIt has been a while since I go to this outlet
ReplyDeleteYou did not miss much.
DeleteI've always wanted to try Japanese Cuisine.. but the only thing that worries me is that I don't know how to use chop sticks hehe
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Just use other utensils to eat them.
Deletesausage sushi?! I've never seen anything like this before!
ReplyDeleteOwn local creation, I guess, hahaha!
DeleteMy son loves dining at sushi outlets with conveyor belts, but always end up paying a lot cause he kept taking & taking without realizing. Lol!
ReplyDeleteNot much on one plate so have to keep taking more plates to be full.
DeleteHad Sushi King when I went Malacca in 2011, the salmon came in one big piece and not very nice
ReplyDeleteI did not know that they even have outlets there.
Deletemix and match seems like a great idea. i have always had trouble deciding whcih set menu, as usually each one have something i dont want and want.
ReplyDeleteThat's why many people like this mix and match sets.
DeleteI am not a great fan of sushi outlets. After this, will u be going back?
ReplyDeleteThere are some really good sushi outlets (not this chain, other chains). Don't think so.
DeleteWould you return no that you've giving it a second chance with the revamped menu?
ReplyDeleteProbably not.
DeleteFirst time I see sausage sushi.. Just fried sausage on top of sushi? Been there few times, only had their egg mayo sushi, kekekekeke..
ReplyDeleteYes, just like that. You can also make sausage sushi at home.
Deleteoooh, I have actually told myself many many years ago that I do not want to visit this conveyor sushi belt chain ever again.. not even giving it a second chance, haha!! we have so many better options out there, agree??
ReplyDeleteYes, many better options out there. Agree.
DeleteYup...mee too...I've given up on this sushi chain a long time ago. Do you think I should give them another chance?
ReplyDeleteNot unless you like pickled salmon sashimi and you are curious to taste it.
DeleteSounds like a good concept. I have a few things I like and usually have to pick one or the other, can't have all. Now many can hehe.
ReplyDeleteVery true. The mix and match is a plus point.
DeleteSakae Sushi overtook them in many areas including the tablet menus. Now Sushi King must be making a comeback. I will go and check it out.
ReplyDeletePlease write a post on it after you checked it out, ok?
