In a city teeming with four-figure, MIchelin-rated omakase menus, Shin Zushi has earned a following for being an unfussy sushi spot with still-affordable fresh fish. Start with some edamame (RM6), tamago mentaiko (RM10) or a light seaweed salad (RM7). If you’re after a roll, there are plenty to choose from: fresh tuna (RM6), salmon roe (RM8), soft shell crab (RM7), and more. Sashimi lovers will want to go in for salmon belly (RM15), or classics such as tuna (RM12) and octopus (RM11).
If raw fish isn’t your style, Shin Zushi offers plenty of cooked and hot options; their signature, in fact, is aburi sushi i.e. nigiri sushi prepared grilled, seared or torched. Also popular and under RM15: gyoza (RM9), rice bowl with your choice of protein, like teriyaki grilled chicken (RM13) or tama mentaiyaki (RM13), and roast duck ramen (RM15). Go early to beat the queue.
