Sushi Zento (Sri Petaling)

Read full review

When I came to Sri Petaling last week, I noticed that there is big brown building selling sushi and thought of trying it tonight. There were quite a number of customers here, as described by the bloggers. But when I saw the menu, I almost felt like getting out because all the food are overpriced at RM 38-50 for small plates of food like noodles, rice or even california rolls.

I finally pondered and ordered the Sashimi Set (RM 48) which was the most worthwhile. The sashimi pieces are very thick and fresh. There are 4 varieties of maguro, salmon, butterfish and also scallops. The set comes together with chawanmushi, rice, miso soup, salad.

The other delicious thing here is the Tempura Moriawase (RM 22) which was very worth the price considering the big portion of 3 ebi, and 1 each of brinjal, capcisum, orange potato, yam, ladies fingers, pumpkin, fish. The tempura and sashimi are the only two things we like best and come out praising highly.

The red plates here cost RM 6.30, blue: RM 2.30, purple plate: RM 8.30. The red and purple plates are quite pricey. The ground floor has conveyor sushi whereas the top floor is focused on dining. The sukiyaki cost a lot here at almost RM 48-72.

We ended the meal with Hotate Mentai Yaki (RM 27) which was so mushy, creamy with the cheese mixed with mentai and fish roe and chopped mushrooms and tiny chopped scallops. This made me very full and don't feel like eating anything else after that.
