Niwa Sushi is a little franchise serving reasonably priced Japanese food in the heartland's. In fact, the Eunos outlet has been featured on "The Savings King" (省钱王) and has been blogged about quite some time ago by other bloggers. The Simei outlet has been around for about half a year by now and has garnered a reasonable stream of patrons. I work near the place so i frequent it pretty often for convenience, here's what i think about it.
Location: Eastpoint Mall Level 1
Price Range: $5-8 per head
Mixed Sushi SetLocation: Eastpoint Mall Level 1
Price Range: $5-8 per head
The mixed sushi set is rather decent but its the price that will make you smile. $2.50 for a box containing tamago, unagi, ebi sushi and crab maki. Its only slightly more expensive then NTUC's Edo sushi offering and offers taste equal to or better then Edo's.
Chicken Katsu
The chicken katsu was rather dry but came in a generous portion. It was served with rice, potato salad and mixed greens with soy sauce sprinkled over the rice. It was alright and cost less then $5. Better then hawker centre japanese food for sure.
Unagi Bento
Their unagi has been shrinking as far as i can tell, i remember my very first visit to this place and the Unagi took up and overflowed the tray, gradually, it became smaller and smaller as you see now. Still, this cost about $5 and is definitely filling enough for a quick lunch. The unagi, though small, is well marinated and well baked to be soft and tasty.
Yakiniku set ($4.80) - Now this is a set i heartily recommend to be ordered. Reason being, the beef is generous, tasty and soft and this has remained constant for the number of times i've been here. I was introduced to the Yakiniku set by a fellow colleague who also used to frequent Niwa Sushi. She told me the best item to order would be the yakiniku because "its pretty close to restaurant quality". I wouldn't go as far to call it restaurant quality but its indeed pretty darn good. I return to have this whenever i need a quick and cheap beef fix nowadays.
Overall Score: 7/10
Last Word:
Please don't expect much service. The interior is also as basic as can be. There's nothing to make you want to stay too long in the outlet but thats not the point here. The point is simply to have reasonably good and cheap japanese food. So if thats what you want and you're as sick of bad japanese food in foodcourts as me, this is the next place to go.
