[CLOSED] Nihon Mura Express (The Cathay)

Would say this is an affordable sushi place if you're craving for sushi in town. But the quality is really not up to standard. The rice is pretty terrible and whenever I order salmon mayo... the mayo is nowhere to be seen (really MAYO 没有 lol). The spicy chicken is not even spicy and soba noodles was so dry sobs. The only thing they did right was probably nice playlist and cheap pricing 😣

Was the orange plate meant to camouflage the size of the salmon sashimi? 😅 A few touches on their not so responsive iPad menu had made the experience a little unpleasant. whitepuff is not impressed 😅

Nothing impressive but this is definitely very decent simple sushi if that’s what you’re craving for. ($1.80++ per plate)

Glad I finally got to try this hidden sushi shop at the basement of The Cathay though I probably wouldn’t return 😅

🤤

TLDR; get better value for your buck and tummy elsewhere.

This was appalling small - about the size of a 50-cent coin! Yes, this is cheap at $1.50 but the quality was shocking and the rice mushed. The only things worth ordering here are still the salmon dishes.

This Tori Karaage with Egg Tartar is the most extravagant tasting $1.60 plate I've ever had at a conveyor sushi chain restaurant. The lean fried chicken chunks were not at all soggy oily, the skin was crispy and meat was tender. With the right acidity and creaminess, the egg tartar was the perfect complement to this classic all-time favourite. 😋

I wished these Yuzu and Kyoho Grape Sorbet cups were available everywhere because each only costs $1.60! Mind blown 😲

I was delighted to see Lobster Salad with Ebi Avocado Maki ($1.60) which has everything I love in one mouthful of maki. 😋 Succulent prawn with creamy avocado, and bite into the spicy lobster salad wrapped in fluffy Japanese rice rolled with fish roes - this was what I imagine this maki should be. Sadly, the friendly price tag downplays the quality and taste of each element. 😜
