    Widely raved by the locals as one of the best places to dive in a diversity of Japanese delicacies. Wooden-themed background embellished with chic lightings instills a cozy ambiance. Never miss their range of sushi, adroitly assembled with fresh and flavourful ingredients. Sake Haru Cheese Maki is among the front runners, which is as good as it looks. Sushi is layered with fresh salmon and cheese, which is then torched to perfection. For crab lovers, soft shell crab sushi roll is spot-on.

    Wildly variable and unusually cheap sushi, this is what comes to mind when we enter this most renowned sushi brand in Malaysia. Among the most-buzzed branch is tucked inside City Square, habitually teeming with patrons, who just mop up every palm-sized pleasure on the conveyor belt, from scallops to unagi, soft shell crab, and prawns. You can also opt for their ala carte or set meal.

    Sidestepping from the dimmer and darker backdrop, Sushi Mentai has ambient lighting and whitewashed walls with artistic touches draping up a full-of-life bar that brooks out a range of delicious sushi on the conveyor belt which leads to the comfy dining space. Jostling away the frame of mind that to savour dainty sushi you’ve got to break the bank, this eatery starts with RM1.80. Therefore, binge as many you can with their homemade dipping sauce and return home with a happy palate and wallet.
