39th Diamond: Genki Sushi


There's a new sushi place in town!


Well okay fine I pretty much spend most of my time in Tangerang, but I still spend my weekends at Jakarta. And it's fun that way! Now last weekend, I went to Senayan. Actually I went to f(x) first to buy some shoes at Nine West outlet (which girl doesn't love quality shoes at discounted price?!) THEN I went to Senayan. One of the reasons why is because there's a new sushi restaurant!

The name's Genki Sushi and it's not just any ordinary sushi restaurant, you know what makes this place special? Your food comes in mini express trains! HOW CUTE IS THAT!?! So when you're seated, you're given an ipad mini and all you need to do is choose the food you want from it. Then they'll deliver the sushi to you via mini express trains!

One thing I know is that this sushi restaurant actually has a lot of branches in several countries already, but I'm so hyped that it finally opened here!! HOW IS SUSHI DELIVERED ON MINI TRAINS NOT CUTE?! 

I didn't took a lot of pictures...mainly because my camera kind of sucks and yeah my camera sucks ;D teehee. I promise, if I get a better camera, I'll take lots and lots of pictures. One food I took a picture of though, is this aburi salmon sushi over here! 

Salmon Supreme Nigiri - 16k
Just look at it! That's some generous serving of fish roes. I also tried the cawanmushi, udon, and some other dishes. I had to say the cawanmushi (24k) was not the best cawanmushi I've tried. I'm guessing it was because the broth was a bit bland. The one in Ippeke Komachi is still the best so far. The kake udon was all right. It only costs 19k, but the portion wasn't that big either. If you ordered the one with tempura, the price is gonna sky rocket. Now the sushiii. The aburi salmon (salmon supreme nigiri) was my favorite. One reason is because they are quite generous with the fish roes, but it is also because their sushi rice is nice and the salmon is just fresh and chewy. I also tried the normal salmon sushi (19k), but didn't really find anything special about it. Another menu I tried was the "Seared Salmon with P...." IT'S GOOD. DEFINITELY GOOD. I'm sorry I forgot the name, but it was similar to salmon mentai but with roe on it. Price is 24k. 

Another thing I like about this place is how you can make your own ocha. They actually provide the green tea powder in each tables and the hot water tap is also free flow. One cup costs 8k. 

As for the whole review of the place, I might come back because the food is nice and the service was also cute. But the place was a bit hot...maybe because of all the lights. There goes my simple review of Genki Sushi. 

As for book progress, I'm still reading the Percy Jackson series. It's definitely fantasy and really light to read. I love it! Will review it once I'm done with the series. :D Thank you for reading and I'll see you in my next post!

Sincerely yours,
