Mono Sushi, Solaris Dutamas

The deal: RM16 for RM30 cash voucher for food and drinks at Mono Sushi (the RM30-for-RM60 vouchers were sold out by the time we decided to get the deal)

What we got:

Mono Sushi prides itself on its 120-variety of sushi; 10 interpretations each of 12 different main ingredients: aji (horse mackarel), ika (cuttlefish), hamachi (amberjack), suzuki (sea bass), tai (sea bream), hotate (scallop), ebi (shrimp), unagi (eel), salmon,  managatsuo (butterfish), tako (octopus) and maguro (blue tuna). Prices for the sushi range from RM1.80 to RM10.80. 

Left to right: salmon belly (RM2.80), butterfish (RM1.80), sea bass carpaccio (RM3.80), mentai butterfish (RM2.80), spicy blue tuna (RM4.80) and mango eel (RM6.80)

Ume shiso sauce sea bream (RM3.80) and nama su sauce sea bass (RM2.80)

When presented with so many choices, it can be hard to make a decision - so what we did was to decide what seafood we wanted first, then move on to how we want it prepared. As you can see we kept it safe the first order round, before venturing into less familiar territory with the last two sushi. 

The fish/eel were generally fresh, but we weren't a fan of the rice; it was too wet/mushy and the taste required tweaking (for us, some of the better conveyor-belt sushi chains may fare better). 

Chicken teriyaki and sushi bento (RM23.80)

Mono Sushi's bento box came with the usual chawanmushi and miso soup, but no fruits. Portion was a little small for our liking (though it may not look it from the picture; that or we were just really hungry) and we didn't really enjoy the sushi (the centre is cucumber, not fish as you would expect). In terms of taste, it was just average.

We also ordered a glass of cold green tea, which costs RM1.80.

As a whole, we'd say Mono Sushi was worth a try, 

Tax: Service charge of 10%

How much we paid: RM32.50
