Sushi Couture though is a step up from other Sushi joint in the Annex area but when compare to other Japanese restaurants I been to with the same price point, it is not as good or dare I say authentic?
We did not go for the Omakase menu but opted for the a la carte.. The prices are quite reasonable.
Beef Teriyaki Dinner ($11.99) comes with miso soup and salad
- Beef is not the best cut, but for that price, I don't expect much
- a little chewy and a little overcooked but the waitress never ask how we like the beef cooked...
- nicely presented and the teriyaki sauce is ok
- rice has sprinkle of black sesame seeds
Sashimi Dinner ($15.99) come with miso soup and salad
-There are 16 pieces of fishes and nicely presented
- The only concern I have is out of the 16 pieces, only 7 of them 5 piece of Salmon and 2 piece of Hamachi not seared or with no sauce on them?
- OK I am here on a Sunday night and using the blow torch techniques and a light sauce of top does cover the original freshness taste
Sushi Couture Maki ($10.99)
- The best order of the night!
- Scallops lightly seared with a smokey taste.. melt in the mouth tenderness
- The roll were cut into pieces that were too small... less than bite size
- the sauce is nicely balanced and has good flavour
Uni Sushi ($8.50) 2 pieces
- Fresh and buttery... such strong taste!
- so small! :) little little uni...
Black Seasame Ice Cream ($3.99)
- stored bought.. standard
- took 15 minutes to arrive!!! I will definitely skip that next time!
The 2 sushi chefs and the kitchen staffs are all Chinese speaking. I heard them talking to each other in Cantonese. So the verdict is: if you only eat at Japanese owned/chef restaurant, Sushi Couture is not the one to come to.
There is something definitely lacking in the presentation, the taste and the spirt in Sushi Couture for them to be a really top notch Japanese restaurant!
They accepts Visa and Mastercard only!
