Genki Sushi at Sunway Pyramid

Words can’t describe how hype I was when I was told Genki Sushi is back in Malaysia! Welcome back and I’ve missed you, Genki Sushi!😚

In celebration of its first outlet opening in Malaysia, Genki Sushi will be launching its menu consisting of 122 core food items that will definitely satiate your appetite along with the selections on the Dai Man Zoku and Genki Premium Selection menu.

Fun Fact: Did you know Genki Sushi’s ‘angry face’ logo is to visualize a serious, professional and confident face of a Japanese sushi expert chef?😡

This time they’ve stepped up their A-game and will definitely make their diners thrilled with the debut of its ‘Kousoku Express’ sushi delivery system and signature Dai Man Zoku selections here at Sunway Pyramid.

What’s Kousoku Express if you’re wondering? Instead of using the regular conveyor belt with plates of sushi making rounds after rounds, it delivers food items directly from the kitchen to the table as they want to ensure what they serve has to be fresh which also provide diners a different level of dining experience.

True to its innovation legacy since historic times in Japan, Genki Sushi continously incorporates technology into their preparation processes, capturing Japanese efficiency and speed at its best all whilst preserving quality simultaneously.

After the opening ceremony and sake breaking, we had an opportunity to make our very own Temaki. Not going to lie but it was pretty fun getting to test our skills. Guess who won 2nd prize and won RM30 dining vouchers?😂

Here’s how we’ll be ordering our food! A QR code will be provided upon seated and you may start ordering straight off from your phone. There’s no need to fuss on waiting for your turn to use the tab to order what you want.😬

I love how they provide Green Tea Powder instead of sachets. It has this really nice hints of vegetal and oceanic flavors to it.

Here’s a peek on what we had for those who crave nostalgia or ones who are curious what makes Genki Sushi different:

Scallop (RM 6.80)

We ordered some sushi from their ‘Premium Collection’. It was simply tender, sweet carefully butterfly-cut scallop. Simple yet pleasantly delicious.

Salmon & Flying Fish Roe (RM 9.80)

There’s this mouth-filling sensation having this. The salmon was so fresh.😍

Salmon Sashimi (RM13.80)

Look at the marbling on the salmon!😍

Fried Egg (RM 3.80)

Can’t go wrong with tamagoyaki! Slightly sweet, delicate and comforting.

Seared Salmon with Cheese (RM 6.80)

This was so addictive!

Seared Crab Stick with Cheese (RM 4.80)

Good choice for those who’d prefer a lighter option.

Corn Mayo Inari (RM 4.80)

Flying Fish Roe Inari (RM 7.80)

Tuna Mayo Inari (RM 4.80)

Y’all know I have mad love for inari.❤ The Corn Mayo was so sweet and crunchy, Flying Fish Roe were generously stuffed into the bean curd skin and Tuna Mayo has actual tuna flakes in it and not mushy.

Udon with Smoked Duck (RM 8.80)

Highly recommended! Smoked Duck was ridiculously flavorful and not too chewy. The udon was springy and slurpi-licious paired perfectly with the broth which was so comforting and satisfying.

Deep-fried Soft Shell Crab (RM 16.80)

Exceptional texture and surprisingly juicy inside. Definitely a recommended dish.

Deep-fried Oyster (RM 13.80)

Crunchy deep-fried to perfection evenly coated with batter.

Deep-fried Rice Cake with Cheese (RM 7.80)

This has to be one of my personal favorite here. You got to have it while it’s piping hot and stretch those cheesy goodness.😛

Deep-fried Salmon Skin (RM 8.80)

For those who’d prefer something a little more healthier, you should definitely order this. It may not be as crispy and a little chewy as you’d get a wee bit of salmon flesh on it.

Takoyaki (RM 7.80)

It’s pretty yum, just the right springy texture from the octopus.

Grilled Scallop with Cheese (RM 8.90)

Love the creamy texture from the cheese and mayo topped on the scallop.

Grilled Eel [half] (RM 28.80)

Soft, firm and barely has fishy aftertaste. Highly recommended to unagi lovers!

Grilled Mackerel (RM 12.80)

If you’re not too fond with eels, mackerel could be the other alternative to go for. Lightly salted but still super flavorful.

Steamed Egg Custard (RM 3.80)

And of course we can’t forget helping ourselves with a piping hot chawanmushi.

PNP Restaurant – Japanese Cuisine Artistry at Faber Imperial Court

A symphony of art, culture & epicurean delights.

Jyo Nigiri-zushi 7 Shu – 7 Types of Special Hand-made Sushi (RM 110)

People and People (PNP) offers traditional Japanese carefully prepared by a renowned chef to transform each dish with creative flair in his choice of ingredients and selective cuts of the finest produce. The spiritual essence of traditional Japanese cuisine is fully preserved yet enhanced with his maestro touch.

Personally I’m never a huge fan of eating raw fish and seafood but I was convinced by the chef’s professionalism and food quality to give a try. Needless to say I helped myself with a few pieces and indulged it. One of the nigiri sushi I’ve got to highlight is the soyu maguro, tuna marinated overnight in soy sauce giving it a whole different level.

Take Sashimi 5 Shu – 5 Types of Fresh Raw Fish (RM 110)

The chef also incorporate aesthetic elements of arrangement and presentation as practiced in Ikebana (Art of flower arrangement) to produce a 5-Star presentation.

Ultimately, guests will revel in a dining experience that is a feast fit for a king. I mean, how often do you see sushi beautifully plated like that?😍😍

Salmon Aburi Maki – Torched Salmon Roll (RM 38)

This was one of the few memorable dishes I had throughout dining here, I really enjoyed the lightly charred flavors on the salmon. Highly recommended!💖

Kani Chawan Mushi – Crab Steamed Egg Custard (RM 18)

Generous amount of crab meat topped on the creamy egg custard. The crab meat was simply sensational and barely rubbery. I could help myself with another one or two!

Karai Kasen Udon – Spicy Seafood Udon Thick Wheat Noodles (RM 35)

Perfect dish to warm your insides! Obsess with the chewy udon noodles soaked in the rich flavorful spicy broth. It wasn’t too spicy for me, so I had it all bottoms up.😋 Everything about this dish was so spectacular, another highly recommended dish.🍜

Kurogama Ice – Black Sesame Ice Cream (RM 12)

Green tea ice cream is overrated and almost everywhere but finding REALLY GOOD black sesame ice cream is tougher. Nutty richness of the black sesame was intensely decadent. It wasn’t too sweet and the red bean paste complemented the ice cream admirably.

Yuzu Sorbet – Citrus Fruit Sorbet (RM 12)

Simply refreshing and delightful yuzu sorbet that refreshes the palate after a heavy meal. It was so irresistibly tasty to have with citrusy-floral essence of the fruit.

Mochi Ice – Japanese Mochi Ice Cream (RM 15)

Soft chewy mochi bursting with black sesame ice cream inside! If you’d like to have black sesame with some texture then you should totally give this a try.

Chi-zu Stikku Ice – Cheese Stick Ice Cream (RM 18)

By far my favorite dessert here! Thinly shelled cheesy-licious ice cream. It was like having cheesecake in one bite: creamy, rich and savory.❤

At PNP Japanese Cuisine Artistry, they elevate the joy of fine Japanese dining to new heights of passion with a creative approach. Visually, the dishes will be a feast for the eyes and food for the soul.

Psst! There will be an exclusive group of traditional Japanese dancers who will provide twice nightly performances on weekends. This is the first restaurant in Malaysia to host this!

Mix & Match Set Lunch at Sushi Zento 膳户 Japanese Restaurant

The struggle when stepping into a restaurant and you can’t decide which dish to go for especially when you’re on a tight budget with only one stomach.😰

Sushi Zento is back with their Mix & Match set lunch where you can pick any 2 dishes as per the menu above! If you’re only craving for that one dish, make it double!✌
It’s only available on weekdays excluding public holidays and strictly for dine-ins only.

• RM 17.90++ : 11:30 AM – 12:59 PM (Early Bird Promo)
• RM 19.90++ : 1 PM – 2:15 PM

Portion wise is pretty decent, not too heavy nor little.
Some dishes may be a little small but at least you’ll get the best of both.😛
Anyways, here’s a quick peek on some of the dishes from their menu!

EB02 – Saba Steak (Mackerel Steak)

EB03 – Tori Drumette Karaage (Deep Fried Chicken Drumette)

EB04 – Salmon Teriyaki (Grilled Salmon with Teriyaki Sauce)

EB05 – Saba Shioyaki (Grilled Mackerel with Salt)

EB06 – Hotate To Kinoko Butter Itame (Stir-fried Scallop & Assorted Mushroom with Butter)

EB11 – Wakadori Karaage (Deep-fried Marinated Chicken)

EB12 – Buta Kakuni (Stewed Pork Belly)

EB13 – Ebi Teppan (Pan-fried Prawn with Garlic Butter Sauce)

EB16 – Pork Katsu (Deep-fried Pork Cutlet)

Personally I’d recommend these few dishes; the Buta Kakuni (Stewed Pork Belly) was ridiculously flavorful also has a perfectly balanced sweet and savory flavor to it. Not so Japanese, but it doesn’t matter!😂 Most importantly its super soft in texture. The Pork Katsu (Deep-fried Pork Cutlet) was crispy and golden brown outside, tender and juicy within. Ebi Teppan (Pan-fried Prawn with Garlic Butter Sauce) will definitely be loved by ones who enjoy garlicky dishes. Their Salmon Teriyaki (Grilled Salmon with Teriyaki Sauce) and Wakadori Karaage (Deep-fried Marinated Chicken) aren’t too bad as well, that’s if you don’t mind the portion.

You should consider bringing your friends, family and even your colleagues over here for lunch! To spill the beans, there might be a really special promo happening on their restaurant’s anniversary and you wouldn’t want to miss it!🤫
