Popular Sushi Zanmai’s menu has evolved significantly since its salad days as a genuine conveyor-belt sushi restaurant.
I remember sampling many of their renowned 100 varieties of sushi a few years ago.
Their extensive selection of cooked dishes is authentically Japanese and delicious.
If you want to gauge the quality of this Japanese restaurant, check the queues of people trying to get a table, whether it’s peak or off-peak hours.
You can go confidently, as the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is well implemented.
We visited on New Year’s Day and queued during the restaurant’s busiest lunchtime. We eventually got our seats.
Weekends are especially packed, but the restaurant ensures that hungry patrons are well-fed.
The food doesn’t take long to arrive, though sometimes it comes in stages and sequences that I’m not accustomed to.
We also noticed that the restaurant runs at full capacity with all hands on deck
Many establishments are running on the skeletal kitchen staff in recement months to dine out.
Sushi Zanmai
Sushi Zanmai outlets are better than the average pricing of Japanese restaurant.
Like all their outlets, the Japanese restaurant has a cozy ambiance and a variety of affordable sushi and Japanese meals.
You can go from conveyor belt Sushi to ala carte, Sashimi, Tempura, and Sukiyaki – all in one place.
Enjoy safer dining with Sushi Zanmai’s contactless ordering.

Sushi Zanmai Menu
One of my friends loves a Japanese menu with the most variety of salmon.
Her favorite dish is Salmon Zanmai.
You will agree that it is before salmon lovers t to enjoy the various sushi choices simultaneously.
You can order salmon sashimi, salmon belly, broiled salmon, and salmon roasted with cod roe.
If you prefer a hand roll, why not order that to enjoy the delicious melt-in-the-mouth salmon?
For me, I prefer my seafood and fish cooked rather than raw.

Sushi Zanmai Taste wise
The food is tasty, and overall, all items are good, with some missing the mark completely.
Penelope, and I guess it’s probably because the kitchen is missing a few chefs.
The next time I visit, I want to eat these items that I only read after putting in our orders.
- Teriyaki Chicken Miso
- Yakiniku Don
- Beef Sukiyaki
For those who are big fans of fat-loaded sushi rolls.
Mentaiko Spider Roll
I felt a little bad about eating soft-shell crab and sushi rolls because I know how the crabs are manufactured, and it’s just something I don’t consciously order.
For the last item, the Mentaiko Spider Roll, we debated and ordered the Salmon Kimuchi Roll instead.
If you enjoy soft-shell crabs, Sushi Zanmai’s signature Mentaiko Spider Roll, on their menu, is beautifully topped with creamy avocado and cod roe mayonnaise!
What We Finally Ordered
The food arrived in a slightly unusual order, but we weren’t fussy and didn’t mind.
1 Ocha RM2.46
2 Ebi Tempura RM12.08
The restaurant-style shrimp tempura is fair, and because I was so hungry, I ate all and left one for Penelope, who went hunting for a restroom.
3 Spicy Ishikari Nabe RM24.34
Salmon Hot Pot, known as Ishikari Nabe, is a beloved regional dish from Hokkaido, Japan.
The popular regional hot pot dish highlights fresh seafood and in-season vegetables.
The Salmon Hot Pot is a must-try comfort food.
The savory miso-based broth is good with salmon, potatoes, corn, daikon radish, onion, broccoli, mushrooms, and cabbage.
The topping with butter was missing for a rich and creamy finish.
It’s almost like a big miso soup with lots of ingredients!
Even though it was winter in Penang, it felt like the perfect winter meal: spicy, hot, and soupy.
The only items missing that I like are leeks and green onions.
4 Salmon Kimuchi Roll RM16.79
The sushi roll has a nice sauce.
Since I didn’t feel like having raw salmon, Penelope had to help me finish the entire roll by herself.
5 Agedashi Tofu RM7.36
A popular appetizer menu at Izakayas and Japanese restaurants.
Agedashi tofu is crispy, deep-fried, soft tofu coated with potato starch.
It is served in a flavourful Tsuyu (sauce) made of dashi, mirin, and soy sauce, which is poured over the toppings and soaks the tofu to enhance its flavor.
You will find grated daikon, katsuobushi (bonito flakes), scallion, and grated ginger on top.
The unique Agedashi tofu is a tasty appetizer that is crispy on the outside and creamy and soft inside.
The combination tastes terrific, soaked in a savory sauce. This light yet delicious dish is served piping hot, so be careful not to burn yourself.
The version we got at Sushi Zanmai is nothing like our previous experience in other Japanese restaurants.
6 Okura Goma RM4.53
The okra bears little resemblance to the menu. We don’t know what happened and didn’t take a picture.
6 Kani Avocado Salad RM19.62
Interestingly our salad came last. The dressing we chose was chunky and had an interesting taste. Other than that, it was rather ordinary.
Overall, good mouthfeel matters.
The Sushi Zanmai menu has an umami combination of flavors and fresh ingredients.
Sushi Zanmai Review
Although I have tried the famous Sushi Zanmai in KL before, this is my first time dining in the Penang outlet.
The way to order from the menu is relatively easy.
I got Penelope to scan the QR code.
There is a good variety of sushi, main meals, and desserts.
We choose from the Sushi Zanmai menu together, and the server will give us a receipt on our table.
The outlet in Paragon Mall is very popular with the locals.
Even though we went for lunch at 1.30 PM, when we left an hour later, there was a long queue outside!
Overall, the taste is fresh, and we are happy with the quality of the food and the friendly service.
The only item that was below par was the Agedashi Tofu.
Otherwise, the dining experience is good and an excellent place to have a meal with family and friends.
Forms of Payment
You can pay with your credit card or cash.
Come and enjoy this sushi restaurant, which young professionals and families love.
We will return to taste more items on the Sushi Zanmai Menu soon – maybe during off-peak hours.
