The Sushi Bar's first outlet was a small unpretentious joint in Far East Plaza, with a snaking queue at its shopfront during peak hours. I remember having to wait up to an hour to get in (on a weekday night!) and no one was happier than me when I heard that a more spacious branch is due to be opened in Takashimaya.
The Sushi Bar is located on the fifth level of Takashimaya. We was there on a weekend afternoon and surprisingly there was no queue! We were ushered to our seats immediately which was a bonus compared to my previous visits to the sushi bar at Far East Plaza.
The Salmon Aburi Roll came in 8 pieces and was undoubtedly the star dish of everything we tried. The play-off between the raw salmon, the torched salmon and the mayo combined to give the most marvelous melt-in-the-mouth effect. Personally, I prefer this over "shiok maki" which gets jelat pretty quickly with the rich cream sauce.
Among the three of us, we also shared the Chirasi Don ($26.90-Regular), which was topped with thick, generously-sliced salmon, tuna, scallops, swordfish, yellowtail and ikura(salmon roe). It was beautifully plated. The fish was fresh, sweet and very reasonably priced.
Having tried both branches before, my time at Takashimaya branch was much more enjoyable. With a shorter waiting time and a more spacious dining area, what's not to love? Give this place a go and find out what you have been missing out before the queue starts!
