The very affordable empire style sushi

Whilst I'm not an avid Sushi guy, but I don't mind dive into Japanese food once in a while. Especially the elder kid is now all about arigato konbanwa mitsubishi honda suzuki. So, as a family guy I will do my best to adapt it despite knowingly these "imports" is going to cost a bomb!

I heard one the of the world most sophisticated subway system is in Tokyo, is that the reason they send food by using a subway train? Note that the train also has a buzzer, making some children song whilst sending food over. Once customer remove plates from the tray, press the little button on the side and the train will shoot back to the kitchen and get ready for the next batch. However, better make it quick. You wouldn't know when the kitchen staff hit the button and the train will make a home run.

Ex-girlfriend ordered a sabakabayaki don, and the girl go for terriyaki chicken. Both came together in less than 10 minutes preparation time. I'm really surprised by the efficiency of the kitchen. Bravo!

Portion is really satisfying consider the price is only like 13.90, and according to ex-girlfriend, the salad is really fresh. The radish is tasty too.

As for the big girl, look at the joy of her face when the terriyaki don was served, its like her mouth is going to touch her ears! This is much they like Japanese culture.

This little fella said, they made one of the best tamago maki around the world. Trust me, he's only been through like 3 different Japanese chain restaurant, so he knows this is one of the best among the three.

My bite is kanikama something can't remember exactly the name. I ordered based on the picture in the menu, so I have no idea what could it be. At first glance, the crabstick salad came with green stuff in it, I begin to wonder what is going on. Apparently, those are sliced cucumber. I wouldn't say if its good or bad, but it's unique to my taste bud. Never I have a kanikama something that came with cucumber sliced. Worth a try!

Followed by a bowl of avocado salad. Don't expect too much form a bowl of 8.80 worth of salad, there's only 4 thin slices of avocado. But the salad sauce is amazing.

And a bowl of chicken katsu don to share with the little guy. The chicken is really tender and properly fried. Crunchy from the outside, and soft from the inside. Do not miss this bowl if you have young children tag along.

A bowl of clamp soup is really appetizing, especially when we're talking about this bowl only cost 5.00, seriously affordable.

And finally, a cup of chawanmushi steam egg to end the session. It's soft and lightly salted with a piece of chicken meat, a sliced of crabstick, and a piece of lotus seed.

We ended the bill with 73.65, and after discount it was 68.00! Seriously, with this amount of food, for 4 person, at a sushi shop, it's considering extremely affordable. Not to mention the "entertainment" provided by the subway train. Haha.

This is a Malaysian local franchise restaurant. You can find out more from their official webpage at https://www.empiresushi.com.my/ The restaurant I've visited is in Starling Petaling Jaya.
