    There was a vast assortment of dishes available. The salad was generously portioned, and the sauce was exceptional. The amusing robot singing entertaining songs added to the experience 🤖 I was extremely satiated 🤤

    Failed as a sushi house, sushi rice is so soggy and sticky as if eating nyonya kuih. Cha soba is overcook, turn out very mushy. Vegetable portion is terribly small, and priced for Rm 10. Only thing good is the soft shell crab salad and vegetable kakiage.

    Definitely our favourite sushi restaurant in Penang. Products are fresh, food is tasty and prices are not high. There is always a lot of people here, but the stuff is doing well. Also nice atmosphere.

    So far so good. A better version of "sushi king" and things to improve: fried salmon is icy cold and super dry. The fried squid seems microwave, but not sure. Fried soft shell crab is very oily, in hokkien we say chao yiu ai (臭油味). One star missing is because, not a single alcohol is selling. That's my personal preference.

    Go for the prawn, curry and sushi. Stay away from the crab dishes. They have weekday value set which was tasty. Parking might be a hassle but I got there early.

    First experience eating sushi at Sushi YA and it was mesmerizing!! The sushi just melts in your mouth. My friend and I didn’t realize how many plates we took because we were enjoying it so much. The staff in jelutong outlet really friendly and welcoming. People out there don’t hesitate, just come here to enjoy the food and service <3

  • 2/5 Yuky I. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tuna and squid were not bad, but the rice was too soft and the vinegar didn't work either. If the rice is bad, the sushi is bad. The seasoning of Chinese food is also unpleasant. I was expecting it because the menu is abundant, but I'm sorry. (Original) マグロやイカなどは悪くなかったがシャリ(ご飯) が柔らかすぎで酢も効いてない。ご飯が悪いと寿司は不味い。中華くらげの味付けも不味い。メニューが豊富なので期待してたが残念。

    Need to wait patiently for take out order. Food is quite salty for me but it's delicious. Chicken teriyaki is good.

  • 4/5 Andrew 1 year ago on Google
    Garlic fried rice was really good. Service was good and ordering through QR code very convenient. There’s a cute robot serving customers too. Soft shell crab smelled and tasted like it had gone bad, -1 star for that but mentioned it to the staff and they immediately prepared a new set. Overall very good and sushi is nice too

  • 3/5 vynny y. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap Sushi and reasonable price for ala carte order. Staff : not friendly and cool face. Environment : OK Price : Reasonable Food : Taste OK

  • 4/5 Food R. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a pleasant dining experience at this place. The curry chicken katsu was quite delicious, although I wished the portion was a bit larger. The curry itself was decently portioned. The sushi was a highlight, being fresh and tasty. Their green tea was also a good choice. What stood out was the excellent service, and to top it off, they offered free ice cream, which was a delightful surprise. Overall, a nice place to enjoy Japanese cuisine with some minor room for improvement in portion sizes.

  • 5/5 NUR FARALISA MOHD S. 11 months ago on Google
    This is my third time eating sushi ya here. The environment was good and the food was superb and maintain the quality. My favourite of this place which is gunkan ikura which normally hard to find in penang. Best place to dine in with family and friend. Really recommend tho. The special menu that not in menu is the salmon bones which is only sometimes happen in weekend. Thats was walla.

  • 5/5 Nur S. 7 months ago on Google
    Let me tell you what's nice about this outlet. You get friendly, fast and superb service from the staffs and free ice cream in a cute container. The sushi was excellent, and nicely plated. Sorry, no photos, we gobbled up everything 😅. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Aero W. 7 months ago on Google
    The sushi is decent, but the ramen is surprisingly outstanding. My dining experience was briefly interrupted by a peculiar beggar entering the establishment, which was somewhat unusual. Nonetheless, the overall cleanliness of the restaurant was commendable.

  • 2/5 Stephanie S. 6 months ago on Google
    Clean restaurant. Karaage chicken was served cold with a long wait. Toufu in miso soup had sour gone off taste.

  • 2/5 Sky C. 7 months ago on Google
    Sushi was really bad. The ones on the train. Rice didn't have enough vinegar. Cawamushi was also bad. Sauce also bad. Wasabi also. Haih I also don't know. You think free ice cream will save you? ... yes it did! ... that's why 2 stars :) hope you improve.

    (Translated by Google) The food is delicious and the service is good.The downside is that if there are many people, you have to line up outside. (Original) 东西很好吃 服务也不错 缺点是如果很多人的话要排队排在外面.

    I have a thing for cold soba, and I would say that the cold soba here is one of the best I've tried (price=quality). Especially when it served on ice! Good stuff.

    (Translated by Google) It’s getting more and more unpalatable. When I went to eat, the shusi's rice was hard and bad. I used to eat it, but now I can’t eat it. (Original) 越来越难吃了,去吃的时候 shusi的饭 硬硬的 差到,之前常吃的,现在越来越不能吃了

  • 2/5 ju y. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After the renovation, it is very comfortable and very cold and cheap ❤️ The staff are very nice and will ask: "I'm sorry. The revolving sushi table is not full for the time being. Is it ok to sit in a place where there is no revolving sushi?" At first I sat down and we were all ok, but slowly I felt that someone was watching us all the time. It turned out to be an employee sitting at a table near the toilet. Have you never seen someone eat? Keep watching? ? ? What catches your eyes? When I looked back at him, I turned away. I probably looked back at him a few times. You take a break and it’s fine if you don’t work. Will you always look at customers like this? ? Or do you want us to keep watching you? ? Really upset eh (Original) 这次装修后 很舒服 冷气很冷 又便宜 ❤️ 员工都很好 会问:“很抱歉 暂时旋转寿司桌子 没有位 满了 坐在没有旋转寿司的地方ok吗?” 开始我坐下来 我们都ok , 慢慢的觉得一直有人在看我们 原来是坐在靠近厕所的 桌子员工. 是没看过 人家吃东西吗? 一直看??? 有什么好看的? 我眼神看回他的时候就 闪开 我也大概看回他几次了 你休息 没工作都好 会一直这样看顾客吗?? 还是你希望我们一直看着你这?? 真的感觉很不爽eh

    Average. The prices are affordable, but the rice used in the sushi and donburi is below par. Service is not very good either.

    Taste-revelling Japanese selections in an uplifting ambience. But 1 of the 2 miso soup servings was abnormally over-salty. Cheery and courteous staff.

👍 Queue seemed quite long when we arrived around 2.30 pm but we only waited about 20 minutes. I think they should have more signage to tell customers what to do so the process can be easier. There was only one waiter upstairs in the seating area so it was quite difficult to get his attention. Food is...
