The newly renovated Sushi Tei at Flavor Bliss boasts a stunning ambiance perfect for photos and gatherings. But is the food still up to par? This review dives into a mixed experience, praising classic dishes like the Tuna Salad Crispy Mentai while warning against potential letdowns, such as fishy-tasting sashimi. Discover which dishes to order and which to avoid, plus tips on navigating the crowds and heat, to decide if this revamped spot is truly worth your money.
Honestly, when I passed by Flavor Bliss in Alam Sutera and saw how beautiful the newly renovated Sushi Tei was, I almost rushed in without thinking. The interior design and spaciousness really caught my eye, the ambiance was on point, and it's perfect for coming to Nongkrong with friends. But after sitting down and ordering, I realized things weren't that simple... 🤔
The newly renovated environment is truly Mantap, much more comfortable than before. It's great for small gatherings with friends or family dinners, and any photo you take turns out great[1]. When it comes to the food, as usual, you have to order those few "safe bets." Tuna Salad Crispy Mentai[2] is still a choice you can't go wrong with. The crispy texture with the mentai sauce is super satisfying in one bite. And then there's the Soft Shell Crab[3], fried to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I can't help but order it every time I come. If you're bringing your parents, you can try their Salmon Head Soup[4]; it's warm and very comforting.
But! Girls, take note, I really hit a few landmines this time. The Toro Sashimi I ordered to try something new actually had a fishy smell, like it was just taken out of the freezer. The texture was stiff, truly Anjay 🤮[5]. There was also a cheese roll, and the taste of the cheese is hard to describe. They also put way too much sauce, completely overpowering the flavor of the ingredients themselves. I feel like the quality has dropped a bit, not sure if it's because it was too crowded. The portions for some dishes also felt a bit smaller than before, like the seafood in the miso ramen[6].
In terms of price, the average cost per person is around 150k-250k[7], which isn't cheap. The tea, however, is free-flow. But there are some experiences I really have to complain about. The waiting area was hot enough to grill meat[8], and the hygiene and ventilation in the restroom were a bit emmm... I hope they can improve.
Key takeaways! My guide to avoiding pitfalls 📝
- Expect a queue during peak hours: It gets super crowded during lunch and dinner times, so be prepared to wait for about 15-20 minutes[9]. If you don't want to wait, go during off-peak hours!
- Order with caution: Try to stick to the popular signature dishes on the menu. For the less common ones, like the Toro I had this time, the freshness might not be guaranteed[10].
- Don't count on the conveyor belt: There are very few types of sushi on the conveyor belt[11], so it's better to order what you want directly from the staff. And once you take a plate, you can't put it back!
- Parking is super convenient: For friends who drive, no need to worry. It's right inside Flavor Bliss, and there are plenty of parking spots[12].
- Avoid sitting near the entrance if you can't stand the heat: The waiting area and the seats near the entrance can be quite hot. If you're sensitive to heat, remember to ask the staff for a seat further inside.
- The revamped Sushi Tei Alam Sutera has a stunning design. Spacious, vibey, and photogenic—perfect for group hangs [1].
- Tuna Salad Crispy Mentai is still a must-order. The crispy texture and mentaiko sauce are a flavor explosion in one bite [2].
- The Soft Shell Crab is fried crispy-tender. A perfect combo of crunchy shell and juicy meat, a must-order every time [3]
