    Sushi ZentoNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    As noodle lovers, you'd be surprised at the menu selections here. Despite the 'sushi' term placement in its name, Sushi Zento is actually a better fit for crafty handmade udon, ramen and savory pork belly and broths. The Kyu N Kim Ramen is a superb delight created with a mash-up of two different soups in one same bowl.
    Tips

    You can opt to sit indoors and watch the chef personally slicing sashimi on the sushi counter.

    Things to expect

    Noodle heaven.

    Best with

    Some noodles should have some sides! Try the Sashimi To Shake Teriyaki Set, suitable for 2 pax.
