Food Blog | Sushiro Malaysia | KLCC | Kuala Lumpur

Hailing from Japan, Sushiro is the country’s leading kaiten (conveyor belt) sushi chain, offering a variety of fresh sushi dishes along with special seasonal options—making every visit to Sushiro a unique experience!

I actually had Sushiro once at the Dubai Expo and again in Singapore. The Sushiro in Malaysia is quite new and still incredibly busy. You’ll often see long queues, so I highly recommend downloading the app and making a reservation beforehand. I believe this is the only way to make a reservation beforehand.

Is it Halal?

Let’s make this clear: they are not halal-certified. However, they do operate in the “Muslim-friendly” space. They state that none of their dishes contain pork or lard, and that all their poultry products are halal-certified. Interestingly, they also offer two types of soy sauce—one that is halal, and one that is not.

Where It Is

It’s actually quite hidden. The best way I can describe its location is this: from the center of KLCC (the exhibition area in the middle), walk in the direction of Cold Storage / Sephora, toward the RHB Bank branch / KFry direction.

Here’s a little hack while waiting: I noticed that many people don’t see the small seating area, so keep an eye out—it might help you get a seat quicker! It’s on the right of their main entrance, and you will be able to keep track of the queue numbers with their television there.

On weekends, when I go to KLCC, I prefer to park at Wisma Central—it’s significantly cheaper than parking directly at KLCC. But of course, do consider weather conditions like rain, etc.

What It Costs

Just a heads-up: what you see on my blog is often ordered with the intention of showcasing more than what the average person would usually eat at Sushiro. I’d say the typical customer will likely eat about 80% of what’s shown here—for two people.

Here’s what we had:

7 x RM5.80 sushi
2 x RM7.80 sushi
3 x RM10.80 sushi
RM12.80 Takoyaki
RM6 Warabi Mochi
RM15.80 Chocolate Parfait

Total with 10% service charge and 6% tax: RM166.11

Which is why I’d say RM66 (or 80% of my total, split between two people) is probably a good ballpark for what you’d expect to pay per person here.

In terms of value, I’d say you could probably skip the chocolate parfait. As much as I love ice cream (and it is pretty good, I must say), I don’t think it’s worth the price—especially when the Warabi Mochi is super yummy and costs less than half!

How it Tastes

There are definitely a few hacks that you’d probably need to know beforehand. The one they will probably tell you about is the Green Tea and the hot water at your table and the chilli packets. But you can actually get ice around the front, at the soft drinks area (to be honest, I had no idea how I was supposed to get ice before I happened to walk past).

With regard to ordering, you have two options: you can do the classic way and wait for sushi on the main conveyer belt. I say shared because there is a parallel conveyer for things you order on their tablet that will come straight to you too! (so don’t try to take food from the top conveyer belt, it’s something someone else ordered!)

I would say that the sushi itself definitely puts itself in a tier above your Sushi Zanmais, Hokkaido Sushi, etc. Basically any other conveyer sushi, even the slightly more atas ones, I would say Sushiro is better in terms of quality - although maybe not quite in variety. With Sushiro, you basically (at least at time of writing) have the classics without any of the mentaiko, mayo, kind of mix. I was also a bit sad that quite a few dishes were sold out, even their chawan mushi :(. Combine it with the fact that they don’t have too many roll options as well.

Don’t expect top quality sushi, but expect decent quality sushi. It will be their promo items which will have the most bang for your buck.

Regardless of what you order in the machine, sushi will all be calculated at plate value:

Red - RM5.80
Silver - RM7.80
Gold - RM10.80
Black - RM15.80

I think the assorted salmon is really good, for identifying what exactly you want out of your salmon. Their selection of tunas are all very delicious as well, so I think those are the main two things that are good. Tamago, I kinda feel like you can give it a miss. Unagi, squid and shrimp tempura were all really good as well, so I can advocate for those.

The takoyaki is one of my favourite food items from Sushiro. Nice textures and flavours that I think really anyone will enjoy. Whether it is worth RM12.80 is the other questions as well I guess.

Ramen in Red Snapper Chicken broth (With Yuzu Pepper)

Ramen wise, we had the interesting Ramen in Red Snapper Chicken broth. They actually serve it with yuzu pepper - which if you try alone, has a really strong citrusy, slightly salty taste, with a hint of spice. On it’s own, it’s actually really weird. With the ramen, it actually works quite well. I feel like I see a lot of reviews online criticizing Sushiro ramen, but I honestly thought that their ramen was quite nice. The broth - whilst incomparable to nice ramen chains, has flavour and is decent - whilst the noodles were nice and springy. Although I say that, don’t come here for ramen.

I honestly think that their dessert options are actually legit. Some are really overpriced, but I still think they are legit regardless. Their ice cream in the parfait is a delicious way to end the meal, and almost a perfect complement to the Warabi Mochi. The warabi mochi is really brilliant in terms of texture and taste. It’s those two elements that really make it a super yummy dessert. Plus the fact that it is RM6, I honestly think that if I had to choose the move value thing at sushiro, it really could be that mochi.

Star Rating

7/10. I think there’s quite a few things holding this rating back. First, the fact that you ARE going to have to queue quite a while to get a seat here (or reserve beforehand). Second, it’s the fact that it is pricey for what it is - which is, a slightly more atas version of Sushi Zanmai (with arguably less options, but slightly higher quality). I still think this is a really authentic Japanese experience that is worth coming just to try - but not something that I think someone would come back regularly for.

Not a place I’d recommend you come to chit-chat - as they do have quite a few warnings, even a timer on the iPad telling you that your time is up (they allocate 1 hour for each sitting especially during busy periods).
