Mr Sushi
- Takashimaya Basement Food Hall

Walking past here will make you stop for a second look, or rather, it made me do so. It may seem like just a small humble stall, but you get value-for-money authentic japanese food here. Opened by a true-blue Japanese businessman, the japanese chef here heartily whips up appetising japanese sets.

Saba(Mackerel) Set ($6.50 with a cup of free green tea)

A thick slab of saba fish,pickles, warm bowl of rice and a bowl of seafood miso soup.


The saba was nicely grilled, but with bones. It is also accompanied by a small portion of salad topped with japanese mayonnaise.

Something i had to rave about is the seafood miso soup. It was especially well-done and unlike those you find elsewhere. Home-cooked to a sweet-tasting broth, you can find bits of prawns, salmon, fish, red & white carrots as well as a kind of japanese jelly in it. An individual bowl of it will cost you $3 but i believe it is worth it.

Salmon Teriyaki Set ($9.90 with a cup of free green tea)

Sides are the same, but with salmon instead.


The salmon, small but really thick and fresh. I hate it when some places overcook the salmon until it turns too dry, but the one here is still moist.

Overall: Good food at cheap rates, plus commendable service. The only problem is the limited seats available, and it does get packed during mealtimes. Many other varieties to choose from like unagi, codfish and ika, and they do sell ready-packed sushi sets for takeouts as well.

Rating: 4.5 /5 ( For Japanese Foodcourt Fare)
Taste- 4.2/ 5
Value- 5 / 5
Presentation- 4.2 /5
