A bit pricey but food was very good
Initially wanted to eat a different shop, but after being unable to locate that shop - decided to give this restaurant a try. Definitely worth it :)
Food:
Ordered the Salmon Sashimi Set + Dragon Roll + Soft Shell Crab Roll + 2 Hot Water + Green Tea Ice Cream. Salmon Sashimi Set came in 5 thick salmon pieces. It wasn't just thick, but it was so delicious that the salmon taste stayed in my mouth even after I ate it! It also came in a red miso soup (very rich and tasty). The cawanmushi was very tasty and authentic, and better than many places. It also came with a bamboo vegetable thing as well as a Japanese sushi rice. Dragon Roll was truly the highlight of the night. It was basically 6 Unagi meat with the Unagi sauce plated on 6 sushi rice that had cheese and cucumber rolled into it. It was incredibly tasty and very wholesome!!! So glad I ordered this dish! Soft Shell Crab Roll was also nice, but somehow couldn't outshine the Dragon Roll 🔥 But you can taste the delicious soft shell crab rolled in it. The hot water taste like hot water, but the green tea ice cream was quite different. Instead of being your average ice cream, this was more icy like ice shards, but somehow was very green tea-ish. Best of all, came in 2 scoops so it can be shared!
Price:
- Salmon Sashimi Set (RM34.80)
- Dragon Roll (RM19.80)
- Soft Shell Crab Roll (RM19.80)
- 2 x Hot water (RM0.50 each)
- Green Tea Ice Cream (RM6.80)
RM87.15 for all 3 plates + water and ice cream is actually quite affordable for both the taste and portion. They really are generous with what they provide!
Service:
The waiter was very nice to us. He was very patient and kind and humble to us. When we found out he was actually the chef and boss of Ichiro, we were astounded because he instead became the waiter for the shop. We ordered food via the digital tablet and it was very organised and easy. There was a regular customer there who was chatting with the boss a lot, and I could see that the boss is a very friendly person. The hot water was actually not refillable, but the boss personally took our cups and refilled them one time. It was very nice of him.
Ambience:
Came here for dinner on a Thursday at 8.20pm, was actually quite full so we had to wait about 20 minutes. But thankfully they had a very long bench we could sit outside and wait. Only one family in queue ahead of us. It has a very nice interior ambience. Even though the seating was not very spacious, the boss made sure everyone had their private space and not squeeze everyone together at the sushi bar.
Overall Experience:
Came here after not finding a shop we wanted to try. But am glad that I stumbled upon this mini gem in 1U. I would recommend coming back here and eating that Salmon Sashimi Set and Dragon Roll again! Many customers were eating them Chawanmushi, so do give that a go! :)
