Sakae Sushi

A new eatery has landed in Penang Queensbay Mall. It is a Japanese restaurant called Sakae Sushi. It has a sushi conveyer, much like Sushi King. One thing I like about this place is every table has a computer for you to order. Very high tech. You can browse through the menu there and order on your own without a staff. However, the software is not very user friendly, it doesn’t have a page that shows you all the items available. It goes by category and all the food is listed by that category. It has pictures of all available items. Not bad eh? For those not IT savvy, you can wait for the waitress to take your order.

However I am not sure whether it is new or what, the service sucks big time. It is slow and takes forever for the food to come. My hubby’s order never arrived. We follow up with the waitress 4 times. At last one waitress came, after 30 minutes, told us that the beef ran out and asked us to change to chicken. We asked them, how long would that take. She said another 30 minutes. My hubby decided to cancel it. She could have told us early that they were short of beef.

The food, it was ok, nothing special. I must say they have quite a lot of variety on their menu. They served children’s menu in special tray, like aeroplane, bus or train. However the children menu is not suited to children’s taste.

Price, as pricey as all the Japanese restaurant here.

  Hi there. Think u know by now that Sakae Sushi’s Singaporean, but the Jap food it serves is in no way authentic. It actually one of the worst IMO – which counts quite a bit since I’m a Jap food enthusiast and have tasted Jap cuisine in several price ranges in a few countries.

  it’s bad. 🙂

  Jan: Singapore have lots of variety of Jap places, I tried a few and I liked it.

  sushilover: Maybe you can share with us, which are the good places we can go.

  Julian: I think the staff is short handed.

  Jazz: I only allowed her to use chopstick when we are eating out. You get the picture. :giggles: We went early, after we left, there were a long long Q outside.
