There staff are all wearing black and we were there for dinner. Looks like a really dark place. We liked the Mohd Sultan area, and found the outside seating to be better than inside. Inside is really small and cramped and although the restaruant was totally empty inside, we were placed in the furthest corner of the restaurant. We asked for a table with a view and the view they arranged for us was in front of the sake fridge in the corner of the restaurant!
We didn't take many pictures because everything that came to the table was different to what was pictured in the menu! And it was really dark. The menu had fantastic pictures. But what comes to your table is an entirely different story.
We ordered some sushi makis and the natto ones were slimy! The soft shell crab sushi makis tasted great - as is with all things deep fried. But the portions and presentation were absolutely nothing like in the menu. What they serve you is very much smaller than the pictures in the menu, with none of the trimmings, and you might even think you've been given the wrong food! The river prawns were raved about but it's nothing special. Very spikey in the mouth. And oily.
We also ordered a whole unagi sushi maki which in the picture in menu was a long piece of the whole unagi. But what came out was a rolled up piece of unagi, of a different colour to the unagi menu with a lump of rice in the middle! The menu had the typical unagi that's grilled and nicely browned. The one that came to the table was grey! and slimy!
We had some salmon sashimi as well, which wasn't fantastic at all. Even the wasabi is not real wasabi but some commerical crap. We had chawanmushi which wasn't in the menu, and that was pretty good. But at $7 for a small little pot the size of a tea cup, it's seriously overpriced! Everything looked really grey and off colour.
We love Japanese food and might give this place another go because of the "cheap" prices. But otherwise, it's not recommended! Not sure to brand this place a "rip off" or not, since the quality really reflects the price. It's not really 50% off if the quality is also 50% off! And the drinks are 30% because it's 30% less than normal! Not to mention, our drinks came out in different sized glasses each time. Inconsistency!
