For some of you who follow this humble blog, you might know that I vouched not to ever spend a dime at Sushi King and Genki Sushi. Although both the restaurants serve inferior sushi on conveyor belt, it doesn’t mean that all conveyor belt sushi restaurants are bad, as my latest experiment at Sushi Zanmai (Sunway Pyramid) assured me.
conveyor belt sushi, with a lot of other items on the menu
I stumbled upon this place a couple of months ago when I visited Zen Sushi at their Pyramid branch. The menu enticed me (particularly the ikura chawamushi) to actually go there a few weeks ago when I had an appointment at Pyramid.
proper portion of fish over rice, nice
For the quick dinner, I picked 4 dishes of sushi (sake, maguro, amaebi, tofu skin) from the conveyor, and ordered a cup of the irresistible ikura chawamushi (salmon roe on top of steamed egg) and a plate of hotate sashimi (raw scallop).
The sushi dishes were actually very good, the portion of fish is generous, and if you look at the amaebi sushi (sweet shrimp), it is actually one big shrimp instead of the usual two tiny ones. They are plenty fresh and tasted very good too. I am one of those people who cannot say no to ikura, and the ikura chawamushi, albeit a bit small in portion, was actually very nice. It is a bit different from the usual roe over sushi rice though. Lastly, the succulent hotate sashimi (5 pieces of fresh scallop) was perfect to round up my dinner.
ikura chawamushi (salmon roe) and hotate sashimi (scallop)
The dinner cost Rm 35.42, with ikura chawamushi being the most expensive at RM 9.80, the sashimi was only RM 8, and sushi plates were between RM 1.60 (tofu skin) to RM 4.80 (shrimp). 10% service charge and the 5% tax is added. Still a pretty good value, and I am going there again.

Sushi Zanmai has a new outlet at the Garden, Mid Valley.
The Ikura Chawanmushi is a must try for me. Do they have Ikura sushi too? Also, do they have Uni sushi (Sea Urchin) one of my favourite but hard to find in local Japanese restaurant.

Sushi Zanmai….coincidently, there is a Sushizanmai in Tsukiji fish market too, which is quite popular for its fresh sushi.

I went there upon recommendation from an old friend. Food was great and sashimi fresh. I like the sashimi rice (forgot the name in Jap). However, I am going there again soon to find out whether there is uni.
Suggestion on wine corkage shall be reduced to RM20 per bottle.
Thanks.
