Sushi Zento Mount Austin — Restaurant in Johor

Decently good Jap spot

Tried the wagyu don, salmon don, salmon and maguro sashimi and tempura set and kakiage. The works, to check out if the 3 main stars of a Japanese meal (to me) meet my standards.

The sashimi comes in fresh thick cuts and makes for a nice chewy mouthful. However the cuts were of mid range quality but for the price point, acceptable. The dons were generally decent. The wagyu is again the mid range cuts.

Fried kungfu? Above average as well. The tempura was crispy, just a tad oily. The batter used was mild, which goes well not to overshadow the main ingredients such as the ebi. The ebi is fresh and firm to the bite. You know that the ebi tempura is well executed when you can easily chew through the tail as well. Kakiage is done with a slightly different batter. Again not overly flavoured, so the taste of the vegetable strips came through quite well. Dons were above average as well.

The grilled shitake unfortunately was a little too salty for my liking.

Service is welcoming, and responsive.

Ambience is nice for chilling and conversations. Not overly noisy, lit for comfort and relaxation with nice decor.

Will return again to try the other dishes from the super...

Absolutely loved this gem! 2 of us came, and like most Singaporeans, we will find the pricing relatively alot cheaper than in spore and thus we ordered quite a few dishes.

I had their sashimi be not with 10 slices of thick cut sashimi, namely salmon, tuna, white tuna, hamachi and hotate, 2 slices each and all were super good. My fave was the white tuna and scallops,that I can literally taste the freshness and sweetness! The bento also comes with a miso soup and chawanmushi which was good. All these for 50rm. In Sg, it will be easily double the price. Oh and I added 4rm for freshly grated wasibi! Something that goes really so well with sashimi, instead of the normal paste wasabi. We also had a foie gras hand roll which was interesting for us, at 20rm. As we wanted some soup, so we also ordered the clear soup hotpot with pork, where the pork belly is surprisingly tender and soft. That's I think 37rm. And finally I had a 250ml of house sake ar 25rm. Can't fight with the good ones but at that price point, I have no complaint! Overall its so good that we are already planning our next trip...
