Sushi Sei

Okay here goes, for us Jakarta people, we know that the fast food for a good affordable Japanese food is the branch of "Sushi Tei" Restaurant that originated from Singapore. Who would complain, even i say its a good restaurant, it has a Japanese atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in an actual Japanese restaurant, the food are simply delicious for a very good price and the service is also really great. But then again, this is the main place people would go to for a Japanese food, but then again we should see in a larger perspective because there are other places with even a better Japanese food than Sushi Tei. The place that i went has always been my favorite Japanese restaurant since i was a kid living here. The place is in Plaza Senayan 4th floor across the most famous club in Jakarta, X2. The restaurant is called "Sushi Sei", i am not sure about the similarities of the names but this restaurant has been here way before the branch of Sushi tei has been in Jakarta. Decoration wise, definitely this place is better, the place has a very traditional concept of a Japanese restaurant so they even have the semi private room decorated like a real Japanese restaurant where you have to kneel down to sit and eat like Japanese people. I have been craving for a Salmon Teriyaki so i ordered the menu set, they have everything starting from the 2 piece of salmon teriyaki with this amazingly sweet soy sauce, radish and vegetables, chawan mushi, rice, and miso soup. My dad was very nice that he gave the head of Hamachi(Yellow Tail), i love the head of the fish, especially yellow tail because the best part of a fish is the head, stomach and the fin. The eye is extremely good too, its so juicy and tender. I also have a uni nigiri sushi, its literally translated as "sea urchin". Oddly i think its good, even though i do not know anybody in Jakarta except my sister who likes this food too. The taste, well how could i describe it, its soft, sweet but salty but has this new taste that i have never found in other Japanese foods which is why i like it. But then this nigiri sushi is the most expensive sushi i have ever ordered, but then it was so worth it! Overall i think this place is much better than sushi tei but the price is much more pricey than Sushi Tei, i would recommend going to this place with your family than your friends because then you don't have to pay for it.
