Decent Japanese sushi at Ichiro Sushi Bar @ Eat Paradise, One Utama, Petaling Jaya

Ichiro sushi bar is a decent Japanese restaurant located at upper floor of Isetan in One Utama. Usually food in shopping malls don't serve great food but Ichiro is different from the rest. The food here is fresh and prepared by Japanese chef which is rare sight in Japanese restaurant nowadays. Another good thing about Ichiro is sometimes they serve seasonal items and some of the fishes are not found in the mainstream Japanese Restaurants. So do check them out from time to time on their facebook page (link below). Ordering for your meal is simple and fast via ipad.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Sushi are fresh and they have fishes which are not found in other Japanese restaurant. Tried sanma & mackerel which hard to find elsewhere. Both were good. Sorbet dessert taste good and refreshing as well. Do also check out their alcoholic drink such as Umeshu and Aragoshi momo which taste great - no picture as my phone out of battery :-( ).
Price:3/10(Expensive. If you choose to have their premium sushi which can't get somewhere else in any Japanese restaurant, then the price is expensive. Their kinmedai fish sushi cost MYR30.00 for two pieces and toro for MYR60.00 for two. The price is more reasonable if you come here during lunch time to have their sashimi rice bowl which is just cost around MYR25.00. Yuzu sorbet at MYR7.00 and Japanese sweet alcoholic drink at MYR18.00 a glass).

Second visit to Zenki Japanese Restaurant @ Bukit Tinggi, Klang

This is my second visit to Zenki after having good sashimi here during my first visit. This time I tried their salmon belly sushi, salmon head, fried rice and grilled chicken rice. Their raw fish seafood items were still fresh.

Taste:8/10(Good. Their food is still good. The highlight were their shake mentai. Its grilled perfectly with taste of fish roe. Their unagi fried rice is fragrant with many chunk of unagi. Ikura and salmon belly sushi were fresh and fish roe bursting in my mouth. Grilled fish head salmon was slight over cooked and have burned parts. However, the fish head taste were still good).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Salmon belly sushi at MYR7.80, unagi fried rice at MYR15.80, grilled chicken rice at MYR16.80, ikura at MYR9.80, grilled salmon with roe (shake mentai) at MYR20.80, grilled fish head salmon at MYR15.80 and green tea at MYR1.00. Great thing is the pricing already included service charge and GST. Pricing wise is quite reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food served).

Tasty uni ikura don from Sushi Zanmai @ Tsukiji Market, Tokyo

Tsukiji market in Tokyo is a one stop centre where you can find the best and freshest raw seafood. One of the attraction dish here is uni ikura don which combined two best melt in your mouth delicacy which is sea urchin and fish roe (red caviar) on top of cooked rice. The firm globes of salty salmon roe complement well with the rich and softness of sea urchin. There are many variation of rice bowl available in the market but I found uni ikura don offers the best flavour.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. Fresh fish roe and melt in your mouth sea urchin. Adequate flavour on the rice with slight sourness of vinegar and the sea urchin taste sweet).
Price:3/10(Expensive. The rice bowl priced at 2,800 Yen).
