Sushi Oribe, is a unique Japanese restaurant that serves true authentic Japanese sushi – the way it’s meant to be created and consumed. Located on the ground floor of ViPod Residences in Kuala Lumpur, Oribe offers an omakase-style dining experience to all of its diners.There are 12 counter seats and a small dining room area. All the sushi is made by only two key men, Master Chef Hideaki Oritsuki (a.k.a Chef Ori) himself and his right hand man, Naoya – depending on which section of the sushi counter you are seating at. Upon making the reservation, I made a special request to be seated right in front of Chef Ori in order to get the best view!On a lovely Monday afternoon, Miss M and I arrived slightly early for our 12pm seating. We were fortunate to watch a truck unloading fresh ingredients all the way from Japan. Oribe’s ingredients are flown in directly from Japan three times a week in order to maintain the best freshness and the highest quality of ingredients.For their lunch menu, Oribe offers 5 different dining experiences – Seto, Iga, Mino, Oribe and Omakase. Their lunch sets get progressively expensive down the menu but it also comes with more expensive and exclusive ingredients.For our experience, we opted for their Mino Set. It is comprised of an appetizer, steamed egg custard, 13 “chef’s speciality” nigiri, sushi roll, miso soup and a dessert. The reason why we chose this menu was because it focuses on nigiri.However, the menu doesn’t specify what the nigiris will be. The chef will simply serve from the range of fresh ingredients they currently have and whatever he thinks is best for the diner – omakase!At the end of the course, we were very satisfied and left as happy customers. Sushi Oribe really is one of a kind. With the abundant amount of Japanese restaurants in Kuala Lumpur – with most serving sub-par Japanese food, this establishment stands out and excels beyond the dining scene with it’s authentic Japanese dining experience.Dining at Oribe changed my perception of Japanese sushi entirely. To watch a passionate sushi master work with so much care and precision really opened my eyes. I think my taste buds have been spoilt and I’m not sure if I can turn back.Some might feel that their price is on the expensive side, but considering the superior quality of their fresh ingredients, along with their omakase dining style and sushi bar concept, every dime spent here is absolutely worth it. If you plan to visit Oribe, remember to try and snag a seat in front of Chef Ori for the best experience!For a full review, please visit eatsleepliverepeat.com/2016/04/06/oribe-malaysia
