For those of you who like cheap sushi like sushi express and nihon mura but are sick of the selections that they have, you can try Itacho Sushi. You can spend about $10 a person, if you know how to order the cheap stuff.Here's what greets you as you take your sit.FYI : they charge $1 for wet tissue. So try and spend about $10/pax to get the $1 tissue charge waived. Look through the menu and write down on the paper what you would like, and call for a waitress. They will take the order sheet from

They will take the order sheet from you and deliver the sushi to you. The service at Plaza Singapura was pretty quick at 1130am on sunday. They had just opened at 11am and it took not more than 5 minutes for our order to arrive on our table, all pretty much at the same time. Except for the fried food items that took longer.

Here are their really cheap sushi offerings. Starting at just 40cents!
So what do you get for something so cheap?

Salmon & Skin Soya Sauce

There we go.. for 40 cents each, which makes this plate just $2++. Dp note, you can only order one sushi per pax.

Salmon Head with Spicy Sauce

For $3.80++ you get this one side of a salmon head w spicy sauce. It wasn't spicy at all, a slight tinge of sourness which complemented the tenderness of the fish. The head was complete with one eyeball. Not a bad dish to order for those who love fish heads.

The Ikura handroll was a let down. The seaweed was mushy, not crispy and fresh. The handroll was dripping and strangely, it was warm. The eggs were okay, not extremely fresh either. Sushi teis' ikura handroll is so much better than this and at the same price too!

Deep Fried Inari w spicy salmon rice w caviar

Here is the spread with the salmon head, smoked duck croquette roll and deep Fried Inari w spicy salmon rice w caviar. We order 4 pieces at 60cents each. It was my favourite. It was very crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside. Imagine a very crispy wanton with like fish meat inside. Definitely worth a try. Although I realized the oil they used had a smell.. Not sure if it's because they haven't changed their oil often enough.

Smoked Duck Croquette Roll

Smoked Duck Croquette Roll, they were alot smaller than expected. About the size of a bigger fish ball. You could taste the smoked duck inside, and the potato was seasoned well. It was crispy and when dipped in the mayonaise mix they provided. It was a good appetizer.

Teriyaki Chicken w red ginger rice and Deep fried squid w lemon flavour rice

At the end of our meal, we asked the waitress if she could check if our bill had hit the $10 per pax, she said it was only $18+. So we decided to get two low priced sushi. At $1.20 per pair, the Teriyaki Chicken w red ginger rice and Deep fried squid w lemon flavour rice was a good dish to end off. The red ginger was strong but not too overpowering and you could taste the teriyaki chicken inside. For the deep fried squid, it was crunchy and yet chewy on the inside. The lemon flakes on the plate added a zesty and a slightly sour taste to the sushi. A very interesting mix of sushi. Again, very different from what you would get at Nihon Mura or Sushi Express and instead ofr $1.50. It is only $1.20
