| - It's so deceiving how MoZen bistro is highly listed under Sushi and Asian Fusion on Yelp when the majority of the good reviews are on about their breakfast, brunch, curry, and buffet. Situated to make decisions in a short time frame with a limited data plan on the go, my friend and I went out of our way to Mandarin Oriental at around 2:00pm to try this "Four-star, Japanese, Asian Fusion, Sushi Bar".
The mid-day light fare lunch menu was not very appealing and was quite limited to basic sandwiches, soup, and a small selection of overpriced sashimi, nigiri, and sushi rolls. $18 for a California roll with "blue crab", this better be pretty outstanding. Nope, this California Roll was the most poorly made sushi roll I've had to date. The "blue crab" tasted nothing out of the usual, it was bland and unseasoned. No hint of vinegar or seasoning in the sushi rice. Unfortunately, I just don't have anything good to say about this dish. Sorry to say I am 110% sure that the pre-made rolls from supermarkets or fast food stalls would've offered something better tasting for 1/4 of the price.
I don't doubt that their regular menu or hot dishes would have provided us a much better experience. My friend and I ordered the soup of the day each which happened to be Chicken Curry with rice bits. At least it was flavored like curry for a much more reasonable price of $12.
