Sushi Zanmai @ The Gardens, Mid Valley

Lately my life seems to be in the fast lane; starting the day and ending one before I know it. When it comes to times like this, I find myself having quick meals - before running off to tend to some other stuff. Whenever I need to do that when I'm in a shopping mall, I end up at Sushi Zanmai (either at The Gardens or the outlet in 1Utama).

Sushi Zanmai

Well, it's a place I go to for a quick meal like I said, not so much of it being for good food. I do find the food here while pleasing to the eye and at reasonable prices - mediocre. There are a couple of items that I do like though. Of course I'm one who never eats sashimi, so I'm unable to comment on that. When it comes to the rest of the food, it's a meal of convenience to me.

Gyudon
Gyudon - a tiny bowl. Good for those going on a diet or trying not to take too much carbo. Obviously it's not enough for me! Hahaha...I find the beef not marinated well enough.


Dragon Maki
One thing I started to eat only recently - unagi! The Caterpillar Roll Maki is a sushi one would love at first sight (lovely looking avocado slices on top) but unfortunately wasn't that tasty to me. Maybe I have been comparing it to the Volcano Roll, something of a higher and different level? One too high perhaps?

Soft Shell Crab Maki
Something ordered quite frequently; the Soft Shell Crab Maki. If I have to choose one maki that tasted good in Sushi Zanmai, it would be this.

Inari
Inari Sakura with Shiitake mushrooms and sweet fish floss topping. Another sushi that I do like ordering when I eat here. I love mushrooms, I will eat anything that has mushrooms apart from the poisonous ones :p But then, one day when I do find out, it'll be too late! Hahaha...

Sushi Zanmai
I do like interior here albeit a simple one, Sushi Zanmai at The Gardens definitely has a better layout than the one that's in 1 Utama.

Conveyor Belt
Yes, definitely a meal for me when I'm on the go!

wmw,
With current economy, I don't think I can afford Japanese food in M'sia. I think I should start making my own. :(

Merry Christmas! I think I haven't been back to Zanmai Sushi since the one that I posted. Too many new eateries out there, too little time.

Of course this place has to have a better layout haha. It's the Gardens after all. Much more upclass,etc.

I also love the Caterpillar Roll Maki :D Actually, the food there is pretty ok for that kind of price. I have no complaints :)

To me sushi zanmai is pretty good, just that they used too much mayonnaise thingy as their toppings. I quite enjoyed the one at Sunway Pyramid

vkeong : Maybe it's inconsistent when it comes to different outlets I guess.
