Malaysia is filled with amazing people from different races and cultures but there is one thing we can all agree on, FOOD! We have SO many varieties of food – from Chinese cuisines, Malay cuisines, Indian cuisines, and many more. Besides that, we also have talented local chefs that learn and master international dishes to our home country (we are very grateful for you)!
Doesn’t matter if you are a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, seafood enthusiast, etc., sushi is always the perfect dish for you! You can never go wrong with sushi as there are many ways to prepare it. In this list, we have compiled the best places to get delicious sushi in Malaysia! Make sure you are hungry because we are going on an adventure!
Instead of going to Japan for an all-out miraculous experience, Malaysia can provide the same scrumptious sushi at a reasonable price! Of course, it’s different for everybody BUT there is one for you! ❗ IMPORTANT NOTE ❗ Don’t worry if the prices are scary at first, it will drop drastically as you go through it! 😆

Introducing another omakase restaurant as it is the finest Japanese cuisine you can experience, so it is not surprising at all! Sushi Hibiki is led by Chef Makoto Saito Sam where he had a few decades of experience in making sushi all the while conversing with the customers. He values the dining experience more than anything else and they are deemed one of the Top 20 restaurants in 2020 by Malaysia Tatler, a high-end magazine reporter.

8. Sushi Mentai
I would personally recommend this if you couldn’t care less for the exquisite Omakase experience above. Sushi Mentai ships most of the ingredients directly from Japan and their goal is to provide everyone the chance to taste authentic sushi regardless of any pricing privilege. The best part of it all is that they have many outlets in Malaysia, so it is accessible by majority. As of now, they are working hard towards popularising quality yet remain affordable.

It wouldn’t be a complete list without having Sushi King, would it? Personally, this is the restaurant that started my sushi craze when I was young. They are also a conveyor belt-type restaurant.
