Sushi Zanmai

Now Closed

I like Japanese food a lot but this outlet really bad with how they manage their food when preparing them at the open kitchen by the sushi bar. The good news is I did not have any food poisoning or stomach discomfort of any kind after the meal. So if I ever do return to this place, I probably order cooked items done in the kitchen only. I would like to deceive myself and that what I don’t see is not going to harm me. Now the Kakiage soba was good. The portion nicely served for one person.

I had the Chicken teriyaki and just as you thought nothing could go wrong with chicken teriyaki, I saw the most horrible thing and that really freak me out a bit. I’m not sure if it was a fortunate thing, but I did notice how foods were prepared while sitting at the sushi bar. The chefs were wearing plastic gloves, and that certainly kept the food sanitary from direct contact with their hands. However, they also touch everything else with the plastic gloves on. Also, I saw them marinating and sk

The love for avocado is what drives me to order anything with avocado in it. Fan of avocado should know that it goes really well with the soft shell crab. There is also the Inari soft shell crab and the Inari with crab and roe for those fan of Inari. Of which I don't find it very fascinating but was good in some way as the texture of soft shell crab usually is more outstanding compared to the other ingredients used which are slightly softer. Don't forget the comforting sip of green tea.

The Tamago Mentai, which any Tamago fan would love. There is this basic Tamago sushi topped with mayonnaise and slightly burned to give the charred aroma. Also the Chuka kurage (jelly fish) sushi for anyone favouring the texture of the Chuka kurage.Now a must try for the salmon fans, try the Spicy Salmon Maki, and the Cranky salmon Makimono. Both delightfully lip smacking.As for the crab lovers, try their soft shell sushi. I ordered the Soft shell crab maki and the spider roll. The spider roll i

The sudden crave to have proper sushi suddenly rushed in last month and no way I was going to just ignore that. I visited Sushi Zanmai inSunway Pyramid and good thing we do not need a huge table, or else I advise making reservation before going to the restaurant. The line was crazy if you go in a group, and needs a table. So the proper way to eating a one person portion sushi (normally 8 pieces), is normally starting out with the ones with lighter or milder taste. Then, gradually work your way u

Soft Shell Crab is my all time favorite in Sushi Zanmai.Well, as for the queue, there's nothing much to say..As usual, I queued for about 20 minutes to get into the restaurant..If you are planning to dine in, just give them a call and make a reservation to avoid long queue.However, it depends on your luck as well because their reservation list is usually FULL.Back to the food. I love everything that goes with soft shell crab, be it the sushi or ramen or anything!This is my first time seeing the

Expected will gone thru a long queue, therefore queue up earlier 20 minutes while my friends was otw. However been cut queue but some tick face foreigner. ( The food ain't gonna taste nicer by cut queue!)It took some time to cool down myself until the must order food been served.(as usual, the pickles helps to refresh, yummyness of the japanese curry chicken totally throw away my anger.)Sorry to tell you that i been brain washed by their curry rice for years and it might not as nice as i describ

想必我也不须再多夸奖Sushi Zanmai了。。单凭其他的review就可以知道这间日本餐厅的知名度有多高。。唯一不足的地方是上菜的时间有一点慢。。或许是太多人了吧。。建议可以请多几位服务员，以避免客人苦苦等待。

The salmon belly here is very delicious to eat. It is not very oily but then at the same time it is so fresh. Since they always comes in three pieces, I always eat in three different way. The first way is to eat it without dipping any sauce. Eating like that able to taste the main taste of the salmon. Then second is just dip a bit soya sauce with the salmon, thirdly only dip with soya sauce together with the wasabi.

If talking about sushi, then you should come to this restaurant. Their sushi is very fresh. The seaweed is still crunchy when they served you. Unlike some other sushi where the seaweed already soft. Their sushi is very nice to eat especially when you dipped the wasabi with shoyu together. The wasabi brings the excite into you nose. You might tears out some but it is ok.

I love Japanese style salads, it is the dressing that makes it special. Here in Sushi Zanmai, I love to have one portion all to myself It came with generous lettuce leaves, tomatoes, cucumbers, slices of tofu, seaweed and a slice of lemon.Each and every were fresh, especially the seaweed, I like the special savoury taste that complements the simple tofu.Sushi Zanmai dressing came in light orange colour is my favourite among all like sesame dressing or vinegar based dressing. This is creamy yet l

Soft Shell Crab Maki. Six pieces of soft shell crab maki was served on top of mayonnaise sauce. The fried soft shell crab was very crunchy and it was not oily at all. It was slightly salty though. There was generous amount of the soft shell crab and it filled the maki to the brim. The crab was wrapped with a layer of seaweed, which was slightly bitter. The rice roll was not too thick, just nice. With the sweetness from mayonnaise, this maki tasted delicious.

Sashimi Salad with Zanmai sauce. This dish consisted of cabbages, cucumbers, tomatoes together with chunks of tuna and salmon sashimi. A piece of lemon was provided for us to squeeze it in order to add a tint of tangerine and sour taste to the salad. The zanmai sauce was very unique, tasted like mayonnaise with garlic flavour and a tint of sesame. The sauce was slight bitter and sweet, it was a good combination. The vegetables used were fresh and crunchy. The sashimi chunks were big, fresh, swee

Rokka Sashimi. This sashimi platter came with tuna, yellow-tail, salmon, sweet shrimp, octopus, cuttlefish. The portion was three pieces each. The tuna, yellow-tail and salmon sashimi were fresh, thick and succulent. The cuttlefish was fresh too and crunchy in texture. The octopus was very chewy and has strong “fishy” smell. The shrimp was slimy, soft and sticky, very weird texture. Next time I will just stick with the normal sashimi.

Tsubu Kimuchi (seasoned top shell – a marine snail). We ordered this even before we know what was it. Only later we found out that it was marine snail. This top shell was seasoned with kimchi flavour. The seasoning tasted slightly spicy and tomato-ish, and slightly tangy in flavour. Although the top shell was crunchy and succulent, it has extremely “fishy” taste.
