Hi! This is gonna be my first review here on my personal website http://www.kitbayron.com and I’m defo looking forward to writing more!
Likewise, it was my first time dining at Ichiro Sushi Bar, a Japanese restaurant at Isetan Eat Paradise, 1 Utama.
The restaurant doesn’t have a lot of seats but it had this nice Japanese vibe, complete with cooks and servers happily greeting you upon entering. There was also an open counter where you can watch the food being prepared in front of you.
Ordering was self-service. The waiters would leave a tablet on the table so you can browse through the e-menu. The service was really fast too so I’d say it’s a good idea to come here when you’re really hungry and can’t afford to wait!
I’m a big fan of unagi, so one of the first things that caught my attention on the menu was this Dragon Roll, which was really tasty and also reasonably priced at RM19.80 per plate. One thing I also find quite unique about this one is the cream cheese inside.
We also tried the Volcano Roll, which had crabstick, raw scallops, and fish roe in it. I don’t really eat anything raw or even half-cooked but this one was quite a surprise. There was an excellent balance of flavours, and is definitely worth the try. A plate costs RM19.80.
And do you see that beautiful, golden slab of fish above? Well, it’s nothing much… just regular salmon belly. Regular enough to make you drool and ask for another plate.
Three words: Grilled to perfection.
It was a tad bit too salty when eaten by itself, but the fish was really fresh. The skin’s crispy and the meat just melts in your mouth (ohhh la la!). I love salmon so I might be a bit biased here, but nope, I’m not. I’m definitely recommending this one.
