Ever since Sushi Zanmai is available in IOI City mall nearby my office, I've stopped goin to the outlet at The Gardens.
Besides, there used to be an outlet in IOI Puchong which i frequently patronised, but it has been closed down sometime last year.
I have totally forgotten about this outlet at The Gardens until recently i craved for some Japanese food.
It was quiet and only a few tables occupied. The interior of the restaurant is always impressive....The walls and ceiling are furnished with wood elements carvings and pattern.
Nice lanterns too...
Food ordering was done via mobile phone. The site link was established by scanning a 2D barcode.
I wanted to try out their katsu curry rice...hence i ordered a small plate (there are only 2 size portion available, big or small).
The curry is OK, though i prefer it to have some potato & carrot chunks rather than just plain gravy.
Chicken katsu is deep fried to perfection, not too dry yet crispy on the outer layer.
Instead of ordering sushi at a sushi restaurant, i had curry rice which is not their core😁
Despite that, when compared to Yoshinoya, this one taste better.
I also ordered an assorted tempuras platter...
This plate consists of 2 prawns, 1 fish slice, 1 eggplant, 1 okra, and 1 mushroom tempuras.
It was freshly prepared from the kitchen and was served piping hot.
Overall, a pleasant meal...and the price is reasonable too.
Total damage: RM28.60
Here's the shop front...at 3rd floor....next to Ippudo
My next target is to try out Ippudo's ramen.
Initially i wanted to try Ippudo at first, but not keen to queue/wait due to the restaurant has reached the limit number of patrons at that time (adhered to CMCO SOP).
another one in my next target list is 'Beauty in The Pot'.
The shop facade is nicely decorated in pink...with a huge pink teddy bear!
Such a unique colour theme for a restaurant...
I used to go to sushi Zanmai at the Gardens frequently but after Rakuzen opened in Gardens, I prefer to eat at Rakuzen despite Rakuzen price is a bit higher but the salmon shioyaki is better quality. I don't like steam boat or hot pot so beauty in a pot is out. Inspired by your trip to Midvalley and gardens, today I break my ban and went there. Lolx!
ReplyDeleteTried sushi Zanmai once. It was not bad. :)
ReplyDeleteMun: the Xmas deco are up now in MV😃. I have eaten at Rakuzen before & agree tht the quality is better.
ReplyDeleteTekkaus: yea not bad.
I miss Japanese food and haven't had any yet. I must go to Sushi Zanmai at the Starling to eat sushi! I don't know why I don't like tempura.
ReplyDeletePH: u dont like deep fried food?
DeleteMaybe she has only eaten soggy tempura and not freshly just fried tempura.
DeleteBeen to the chain here twice. The design of the outlet more or less the same.
ReplyDeleteI like chicken katsu.
Rose world: yea interior is quite similar in every outlet.
DeleteI love to eat at Rakuzen and Sushi Zanmai as their interior decor is so tastefully Japanese style. Food wise, fantastic!!! Even the Chawan Mushi is fantabulous.
ReplyDeleteTwilight Man: i m sure u can always drop by 1U to get your chawanmushi fix😃
DeleteI am not a big fan of Japanese cuisine but I do love tempura and other fried items.
ReplyDeleteSushi Zanmai or Sushi King, which to go for?
ReplyDeleteNo need to ask, of course is sushi Zanmai.
DeleteI have been to Sushi Zanmai once.. but I think Penang branch. Sad to see the place empty, right? but then everyone have to be safe...

ReplyDeleteI agree with you, with potatoes and carrot chunks would taste better. SG beauty in the pot also has that huge pink teddy bear.
ReplyDeleteI like the assorted tempura platter.
ReplyDeleteSushi Zanmai is the one with the perpetual long queue no? I've been twice and don't get the hype. Probably just don't know how to appreciate! My default is Sakae Sushi.
