Shin Kushiya

Located in a corner of Vivocity nearby the GV Cinema, Shin Kushiya caught my eye and I decided to give this Jap restaurant a try.


Shin Kushiya


Sashimi Moriawase... consisting of Maguro, Salmon, Mekajiki, Hamachi and Amaebi. $22.


Onsen Tamago - loosely translated as "Hot Spring Egg". This one is a soft boiled egg served in a cup of soba sauce topped with spring onions! Didn't really get to taste the yolk of the egg here as the soba sauce and spring onions covered the taste of the egg.


Agedashi Tofu - topped with yummy seaweed strips!


Buta Mentai Kushiyaki - Pork-on-a-stick, topped with spicy fish roe! The pork was served on a stick in neat rectangular slices, alternating between lean meat and some fats. The Mentaiko here, unfortunately, didn't taste like what you normally find in most restaurants. $3.20 per stick


Shishamo! Usual, nothing out of the ordinary here. $1.90 per pc.


Soft shell Crab! this one tasted crispy on the outside and squishy on the inside.


Niku Nabe (Meat Hotpot) - This one tasted quite ok, full of ingredients such as meat slices, mushrooms and other interesting stuff.


Mentaiko Spaghetti - This one was a disappointment for me as the mentaiko did not taste like it normally would in other restaurants. Or maybe it was just a different type that I wasn't used to.


And how else to top off a very satisfying meal - a scoop of nice Haagen-Dazs ice cream! =D

Overall the service was very polite and prompt, but the food was pretty ok-lah standard. Nothing special to shout about, but to their credit, they carried quite a wide range of Jap food for you to choose from. Not exactly cheap either.

I spent about $46 per person.
