A tad expensive; quality needs to be improved
Finally had the chance to try this after walking past it countless times. Always felt it looked like an upmarket Jap place with its dark deco tones and soft lightings, and this was a good although more pricey option than Sushi Tei if you don't feel like joining the harrowing queue there.
Availability of booth seats provided a relief from the usual noisy crowd for the 4 of us, and we orderded sufficiently adequate:
Ebi Avocado Maki ($10.80) - Rather big portions but I cant quite taste the avocado. The rice was quite loosely packed and fell all over the place; prawns was also abit soggy.
Tako Fry ($8.80) - Jap calamari. Too oily for my liking and the batter was more like fish&chips-style batter. Whatever freshness of the tako was overpowered by the too-heavy batter.
Gyu Asparagus Maki ($3.80) - Don't know why they called it Maki when its not. The picture in the menu is misleading. The skewer of 4 pieces of asparagus wrapped with beef came in puny portions. Overdose of salt and black pepper killed the dish.
Cha Soba ($8.80) - refreshingly light, especially after the tako fry. Its a standard dish but thumbs up for the noodles that came nicely chilled.
The things I didnt try: Nabeyaki Udon ($14.80), Tori Nanban Soba ($12.80), Beef Inaniwa Udon ($16.80).
Service was quite efficient and food was served promptly. Tea was topped up regularly as well. The prices are abit high I thought, and I wouldnt have minded it so much if the quality of food was better. But I'll leave it up to you to decide for yourselves~
Oh, and they serve this complimentary starter which I find strangely addictive. Its just cucumber and carrot sticks with raw cabbage pieces, but comes with a savory bean dip that provides a healthy tasty crunch.

After a fun pre raya shopping spree, I was famished and in need to food. After walking around for about half an hour we settled on Shin Kushiya mainly cos I wanted jap but didnt wanna queue up for Sushi Tei. We were seated nxt to the glass thingy. can view sentosa from where we were seated but i was more interested in the view of the menu
We ordered Sashimi Salad- $13.90 Plenty of veges, liked the wasabi soya sauce dressing though the wasabi in it was really potent. Was on a wasabi rush each time i ate abit. The salmon and swordfish sashimi in it was really really fresh and good. think they used salmon belly so i happily ate em up
Wagyu Karubi - $7.80 3 cubes of wagyu skewered and grilled. I must say this was really good. My first time trying wagyu(2nd if you count the burger @ brown sugar) and really enjoyed how easy it was to chew the meat and it was really really really juicy and tender and buttery(melt in ur mouth good)
Nigiri Sushis Chutoro - $7.80 Salmon Belly - $2.80 Mekakiki - $2.50
the sushis were oryt. i enjoyed my salmon belly n chutoro but from my past experience eatin chutoro i think this was not as good though.
Tako Fry - $7.80 This was really good. Came piping hot and was a mix of fried squid n octopus. Really liked it though it got a bit jerlak towards the end. Quite a big portion
Lamb chop - $9.80 Now this was superb. The lamb was tender, juicy, not overdoused with salt or any other spices and grilled well. The fats were the best part and my dining partner was enticing me with it the whole time. needless to say i caved and attacked it after that.
Sake Harasu - $3.80 Grilled Salmon Belly was my 2nd favourite of the nite after the wagyu. The fish was not overcooked and the flavours just danced around in my mouth. I loved that the salmon was done so well and of course since its the belly its super sinful and good
Negima Mekajiki - $3.80 Another grilled item. Really good. Was quite skeptikal trying out grilled swordfish but it came out really good. melt in my mouth good. and of course flavourful too. Was satisfied.
Had other items like yakitori and Asparagus maki which were nothing to shout about.
Service was atttentive and good. Even though it was a full house we didnt feel neglected at all.
Only grouse was that the drinks cos a whopping $3 for soft drinks(not too teribble but partner has a lychee cooler(more like lychee drink ) which set us back $6.00. i could buy a lychee cordial and pay the same. But overall experience was good. I would return but maybe not order some things so that i can order more of others ;)
