Still Kings Of The Kaiten


Though there are now quite a few options for quick sushi based on the kaiten belt system (that’s the conveyer with ready-to-eat plates of sushi placed on it), it is heartening to know that the pioneers of this system of food service are still up to mark.

A few months back I wrote that I was on the verge of dismissing Sushi King from my places to eat, but of late, ever since my three-year-old has decided she liked many of the components of Japanese food, we have gone to the Sushi King outlet in Giant Kelana Jaya quite a bit. 

This trip saw us waiting outside because the outlet opens only at 11.30am. Fair enough when you consider most locals don’t think of sushi as breakfast food. We had some food off the kaiten to stave off hunger pangs, but the bulk of the meal was from the ala carte menu. 
Futomaki off the kaiten.
The favourite food of a three-year-old, believe it or not.
Rather messy California rolls.
Two plates of salmon were needed to satisfy the Salmon King.

The salmon toro khomi was fresh, though cut a little badly. RM14.90 a plate of five slices is not too bad, considering the rise of food prices everywhere. 
Tofu with beef.

The Nikumiso Tofu (RM7.90) was a change from the usual Agedashi Tofu, and we liked the tender slices of beef, although it could have done with a little more sauce. 
Tasty, but salty noodles!

The Shoyu Ramen (RM13.90) stood out for its super fresh noodles, bursting with a rich, eggy taste, complemented by tender slices of chicken and veggies. Unfortunately it made us incredibly thirsty after! 

The meal for a hungry foursome (although a small eater grandma and nibbler toddler can be lumped together as one person) came up to RM73.90. 

Sushi King has a few promos on Facebook (www.facebook.com/sushikingasia) and on www.sushi-king.com
