Sushi Tei, Jakarta

My friend invited me to celebrate her birthday at Sushi Tei yesterday.

So glad with her choice of place because it's also my favorite place for having sushi.

This Sushi Tei restaurant that we went is located in Plaza Indonesia. It's very crowded as usual although this month is a fasting month for the Muslim.

We chose to sit beside the Kaiten Sushi (sushi train where a stream of plates winding through in the middle of the restaurant). We had total of 8 plates and pleased with the taste.

sushi
Shoyu (Japanese soy sauce), wasabi (green paste), gari (sweet pickled ginger) and ocha (green tea) as condiments.


A bowl of Tempura Soba for me.... so comforting with the crispy tempura.

My other friend ordered Tsukimi Udon with raw egg on the top.

No one ordered for dessert because.... there's no more space in everyone's stomach :)

    I luv Sushi Tei as compared to Sakae Sushi. We can never get bored eating Japanese food. They are so delicious yet healthy (minus the tempura). ;)

    Sushi Tei is also my favourite Sushi restaurant in Jakarta, I always go there everytime I visit Indo. Sushi Sei is also good, but I think Sushi Tei is better and cheaper...

    anncoo: That sounds great! :)

    angie's recipes: Udon noodle soup sounds wonderful :)

    FFT: My humble opinion, the shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) in Sakae Sushi is very salty compared to Sushi Tei. Oh... tempura... hahaha... yeah, fried stuff... not really healthy :)

    C-G: *hi5* I guess Sushi Tei is much better than other Sushi places :)

    faith: *nods* And... everything is yummy :)

    Like the new header and the new link/search bar, as well as the larger photos! So much food here:). The salmon looks so interesting as it almost seems like every layer between the fat and meat is separate from each other.

    The sushi looks so great. I'm especially intrigued by the Udon. I've seen noodle dishes with an egg on them before, but haven't had the opportunity to try them. It sounds good to me! A lovely place and looks to be a great celebration!

    I love unagi so much! I was surprised by how absent it was from most restaurants in Japan. When I asked a chef, he said its a delicacy. It's much more common in Canada!
    This looks like a brilliant Japanese place, no wonder it's your favourite :)

    In KL Sushi King is king with families packing them in at the Malls. Seems very popular with youngsters too.

    For many this the first exposure to delicate pretty raw Jap cuisine , a stunning experience for the Big Bowl Chinamen

    Yes, its yummy! :p

    best of all, the price is even yummier (in a good direction).

    Rp. 250.000 for 5 person is a good price in a sense of the classy restaurant.

    I really miss the fresh salmon and wasabi.

    yummy *piggy mode on*
