SUSHI ZANMAI - I UTAMA

Tonight dinner was a "bonus" gathering for the family, it is hard to have every one to eat together because of work commitments. Today, Mindy flew back from Saigon in the afternoon, Michelle was off and Mike finished his reviewer's work early. We met up at Sushi Zanmai at 1 Utama for dinner.
Sushi Zanmai is a Japanese restaurant with the usual conveyor filled with freshly made sushi snaking around part of the restaurant. It was quite a sight to watch the various type of Sushi going round and round. Their menu is varied and they claimed, their food to be authentically Japanese with original recipes and they used genuine ingredients. I really like their good food presentation, very visually pleasing, and I could feel that it was made with a lot of patience, effort and skills. Most of their Sushi ingredients like Tuna, Salmon and Prawn are generously sized and fully covered the vinegared rice, unlike others!
We ordered a few dishes from the menu, some Sushi from the conveyor and had hot Green Tea for drinks. Overall, it was a happy and hearty meal for the six of us.
