[CITY HALL, SINGAPORE] Sushi Zushi is an upgrade from your usual sushi chains. As the sushi pieces are made 1 by 1 by hand, the quality of their sashimi is higher, though prices are higher as well.
Each sushi order comes in pairs, and prices can vary according to how premium the seafood cuts are. Salmon can almost never go wrong, and their Salmon Belly 🍣 ($5.50) were indeed full of umami flavours. The most premium cut we got was the Scallop ($9) that was scrumptious.
There was a sashimi promo going at $1.50 a piece, which was actually quite worthwhile considering how thick the Hamachi 🐟 slices were. Those were succulent and fatty too!
We would say the sushi quality here is very decent though not mind-blowingly good. It's definitely quite a few steps below that of omakase courses. As the sushi pieces are not big, an average male may need to spend about $60 per pax to be adequately full 😂 Perhaps this is a place to try once!
How do I cope with my withdrawals after coming back from Japan?! Eating more sushi in Singapore, of course. And Sushi Zushi had quite the array of quality offerings at pretty good value (causing me to go a little crazy and over-ordering)~
Chutoro Sushi ($9/ 2pcs) - damn shiok and complementary to the tangy red vinegar marinated rice
Otoro Sushi ($12/ 2pcs) - even more shiok; loving the very soft and almost buttery bites
Aburi Engawa Sushi ($6/ 2pcs) - wonderfully charred with tantalising smokey flavour and decently tender. Wished it was much more melty
Unagi Sushi ($4.50/ 2pcs) - tare/sauce is a bit overpowering but a very decent option
Chawanmushi ($3.50) - very silky with pleasant, distinctly comforting dashi flavour and the added chewy mochi was a fun textural surprise
Torotaku Handroll ($4.50) - needs a little bit more oomph but is a safe, yummy choice
Uni Ikura Handroll ($15) - indulgent roll with briny roe and creamy uni; a real fool-proof treat
Sake Sashimi ($1.50/ slice) - really fatty and fresh-tasting, a must order
