I had very high expectations for Sushi Room because of all the stellar reviews.
First of all, the service was impeccable, the staff were attentive, polite and professional throughout our visit.
We ordered the $65 lunch set with wagyu sirloin. While it delivered the level of quality you’d expect at this price point, there were a few details I couldn’t help but notice:
1. The soy sauce tasted like a standard soy sauce without any special touch or customisation.
2. The nigiri was served too cold, both the rice and the fish. One piece in particular felt as if it had just come straight from the fridge.
3. The presentation of the steak was inconsistent between the two plates. Not only the plating looked quite different, my portion was much fattier than my partner’s, almost as if they were different cuts.
4. I ordered a serve of rice to go with the steak, expecting plain steamed rice. Instead, I was served warm vinegared sushi rice, which didn’t quite pair as well with the steak.
Overall, it was a good lunch and reasonably priced. However, for the same price point, or with a small step up in cost, I think there are better options offering higher quality.
