Food/Rest. Review : Standing Sushi Bar

Maybe you are a lil' bit confused when you heard the name. Me too ! and my friends too ! :p Even though the restaurant name is "Standing Sushi Bar", don't worry, we actually not 'stand' while we eat ( ha! ), yes they still had chairs and tables ! ;D It is said that the restaurant firstly open in Singapore ( Marina Bay Link Mall & 8th Queen Street ). Now, they opening a new branch at La piazza Kelapa Gading. So..... Irrashaimase ~ ! :)

Atmosphere :
The interior is quite a typical Japanese Restaurant. It's quite spacious with a minimalist modern Japanese design. The ceiling are quite high, and I love a little touch of Sakura Flowers on the wall. Too bad, just like the another 'recently opened' restaurant, the service was BAD. I am taking my napkins, plates and spoon myself, because the waiters are not there to serve us. And when I ask the greeter to help us taking photos, she 'seems' busy and ignore us. We've waited for her for a quite long time, and she still makes herself busy. So yeah... we just leave. But hang on guys, we haven't reached the food review part, so just keep reading ! :p

Price :
IDR 100.000- 120.000/person. ( Yes quite pricey for a restaurant around Kelapa Gading :p )

Food :
When I first coming there, they're had an ongoing promotion which is Salmon Sashimi & Tsukimi Udon just for IDR 13.500 ! So.... without thinking much, we just order that first ! :p

Salmon Sashimi - IDR. 35.000,-. Nothing could go wrong with Salmon Sashimi. Always been my fave ! The sashimi taste fresh and thick. I think it's a good quality salmon that they choose.

Tsukimi Udon - IDR 38.000,- Yes it's just a simple udon and poached egg. I feel like the udon was undercooked, and the broth wasn't savory enough. Need improvement ! :)

Then we order, Jumbo Dragon Roll - IDR 80.000,- Ok I wasn't a big fan of the presentation, but it taste quite nice. It's quite different than the usual dragon roll that I've ever eaten, the Unagi ( Eel ) on top is half broiled, so when it reached to your mouth, you can taste the smoked taste and lil' crunch on it. Interesting.

Next, Spicy Fried Shake ( Salmon) Maki - IDR 35.000,-. I love how spicy the mayonnaise was ! But the salmon inside wasn't too generous, so we just taste the nice crunch outside, but can't taste the salmon.

Tori Katsu - IDR. 22.000,-. The meat are quite tender, but I think a lil' bit more seasoning could made it more yummy. But yea.... chili sauce can help ! ;p
