Sushi King!

    We decided to do a food review on the food in Sushi King at Sunway Pyramid due to few reasons, namely: its reputation and affordable meals. Being located in Sunway Pyramid mall (LG1.42), this famous franchise outlet receives a  diverse group of customers ranging from teenage students to working adults and to families on weekends.


    Being no stranger to Malaysians, Sushi King had captured the imagination of many with its concept of using  the conveyor belt to transport  sushi side dishes throughout the restaurant.

    Last friday (13/4), all six of us decided to have lunch there after our failed attempts to get a place at Kim Gary. As soon as we arrived at Sushi King, we were ushered by an attendant and seated at a long table with comfortable chairs. 

The response time for our orders  was between 10-15 minutes,which was satisfying enough for us.

     Anyway here are the pictures of some  food we ordered:

 The Unagi slice

                               

Shoyu ramen

Tempura Soba

 Nabeyaki Udon

          To start with, the Shoyu Ramen consists of  Japanese egg noddles, served in Shoyu soup(soy bean soup) with slices of teriyaki chicken, one hard boiled egg along with seaweed and vegetable. Unlike other noddle dishes from the hawker stores, the soup was actually nutritious and tasty . I (Erik) actually managed to finished the soup completely, which is saying something because either the MSG(flavouring) content is non-existent or very low. Though, in my opinion, more slices of teriyaki chicken could be added to complement the vegetables and seaweed.

         Yi Lin ordered Saba Teriyaki (Grilled fish) along with a bowl of white rice. According to her, the Saba Teriyaki went well with her white rice since it was served along with sweet sauce. The rice acted as a filler to the rather small portion of Saba Teriyaki that somewhat compensated for its shortcomings with its juicy and fleshy meat.

           Among the ingredients in Adelyn Tan's Nabeyaki Udon were sweet beancurds, mushrooms, spring onions,chicken and crabstick. This dish was particularly unique as it was cooked in a nabe(metal pot), which is where the dish got its name from. This noodle dish had a distinct seafood flavor especially when the prawn tempura was added into the Udon.

          Hooi Xian's Tempura Soba was served with prawn and vegetable tempura. Though the Soba is quite simple with only the wheat noodles and some spring onions, the true strength of this dish in the tempura side dish. Tempura are vegetables or seafood that have been battered with egg than deep fried. Among the tempuras were the long beans, brinjals and prawn. What surprised us though was that the tempuras were a lot less oily than we had expected. Thus,we can say that the Japanese are a health cautious   lot. 

         While we waited for our main dishes, we also took the opportunity to pick up a few side dishes from the conveyor belt that circulates around the whole restaurant. Some of the side dishes worth mentioning are the Unagi slice(picture shown above), Ebi Ten and Egg Mayo sushi. Plus, the (in)famous Wasabi was provided along with a bottle soya sauce and sweet sauce to dip the sushi in. The price the side dishes is determined by the color of the plate as follows:

Blue – RM2.00
Beige – RM3.00
Pink – RM4.00
Red – RM5.00
Purple – RM6.00

 Our recommendation is that the side dishes are worth trying if you do not mind forking out money for the more expensive plates.

      Overall, if you wish to dine in Sushi King, bring around RM 70. That's not because  the Ala carte meal is costly. (it's normally around RM10-RM30) but you just might get caught up in savoring the variety of side dishes Sushi King has to offer.
