Sushi Zanmai @ One Utama (New Wing)

It was my 22nd bday..We went to Sushi Zanmai today as my birthday makan which had just started its operations..
It is crowded but we decided to wait for the seat. No regret of trying this Sushi Zanmai, friendly speaking, it taste better and kinda cheaper than either Sushi King or Genki Sushi. The seafood are fresh and the rice is soft to eat. Unlike some other places, the sushi rice are actually make by machine. In Sushi Zanmai, all the sushi are hand make from the chef and its really really fresh.

There are three of us ordered Unadon, roasted eel on rice.The Unagi tasted fantastic! It’s not too sweet or tasteless to be eaten, one word! Ngam Ngam Ho! Haha! And this Unadon cost Rm15.80 (S)

We had Yakiniku Don, grilled beef on riceThe beef is soft and its easy to bite unlike those grilled beef which had over cook and it hardly bite. This cost only Rm10.80

We had Ebidon, deep fried prawn with egg on riceIt was just nice, and the eggs are mix together with the prawn, the main thing is…the prawn is fresh. This Ebidon had just cost RM8.80 (S)

Sakura Chirashi Don, assorted seafood on sushi rice...It not only looks beautiful on the menu, but it really looks nice on real. The salmon, the prawn are taste fresh and the rice are soft. It’s a good try! And it cost RM10.80 (S) Reasonable price?

Chicken Katsu Curry, chicken cutlet & rice with curry sauce..For me, this Chicken Katsu Curry is a little bit taste like the Maggie Mee soup that u always cook at home, nothing special, but the chicken cutlet is crispy. This plate cost RM10.80 (S)

This is Kakiage Don, fired prawn and vegetable on rice...

The prawn is really big and it’s crispy when u bitten on it. It cost RM8.80 (S)

This is Soft Shelf Crab Maki, fried soft shelf crab...

It’s my favorite in Japanese cuisine, the shelf crab is crispy and tasty. Whenever I went for Japanese restaurant, I will never forget to have this Soft Shelf Crab. Guest what? The price is Rm6 per plate. I think it sounds reasonable for me…hehe

Wasabillar Roll, salmon & crispy chips sushi roll topped with wasabi flying-fish roe...This Wasabillar Roll is a caterpillar design, the green color on top is the wasabi flying-fish roe which represent the caterpillar hair, and the two big red fish roe is the caterpillar eyes. Its cute! And taste gud! Keke

This is Chawanmushi, steamed egg custard...Don’t just look at the surface of the egg, it actually contain mushrooms, prawns, chicken slices, and crab meat. And do not hesitate the prawns, it is really fresh and it’s big! I don’t think you can find such a great ingredient in Sushi King rite? Not to say I’m giving the unfair judgment la..I was Sushi King fans before trying Sushi Zanmai.. hehe I’m just giving the comment according what I’d tried.. And it’s only cost RM 4.80. We actually ordered 6 of Chawanmushi, who ask us like egg so much?? Haha!

Inari, sweet beancurd...Kind of tofu skin, taste sweet, and it contain sushi rice. Same..It’s RM1.60 too.

This is Chuka Lidako, seasoned baby octopus...

This seasoned baby octopus with a little bit of sesame on top makes the overall looks beautiful. The color are very attractive to me, and the octopus are crispy once u bite it, it is fresh, and it doesn’t smell weird for those some of the octopus are not really freshy, it will have some certain weird smell. But this don’t have. This plate of seasoned baby octopus had cost me RM6 which similar with Sushi King actually.

Kanpyo Maki, dry gourd... The gry gourd kinda crispy, the taste are not too salty and it just nice..This cost RM1.60 for 6pcs..I think it’s quite “dai” lo…

We ordered 2 set of Tamago, Omelette, and it just cost RM1.60 per set..We ordered one California, avocado, crabmeat & omelette with smelt roe with RM4.80

Sushi King will cost RM5.80...so here cheaper rite? Shh...

Our last call is Aso (12 pcs + 1 roll)Aso which consist of tuna, yellow-tail, salmon, eel, prawn, boiled scallop, crabmeat, octopus, cuttlefish, omelette, beancurb, shrimp roe, cucumber roll. This Aso is RM23.80

While writing the prices, I started to realize that most of the price will come with a number eight behind. Likes RM23.80, RM15.80, RM10.80… I suspect the owner of Sushi Zanmai should be a Chinese men who must be believe that the number eight will giving him luck in his business…Haha! Anyway just a thought!

Total bill was RM241++. I can't really remember the actual price. There are 9 of us, and each person with only about RM26 can have such satisfying meal, it's worth! Their service was good, the waitress are polite and patient especially while taking order.

Sushi Zanmai is located at SK9A, Second Floor Highstreet, 1 Utama Shopping Centre (new wing).

Do give a try! No worries, it's purely halal...haha
