Sushi Sei, Plaza Senayan, Jakarta

Sushi Sei has been acknowledged as one among restaurants that serve premium quality sushi. So, finally I got my chance to dine there with my family.

Sushi Sei is located in Plaza Senayan, Jakarta just right in the opposite of X2 Club. The interior is just right, not authentic yet elegant with their big semi-boat-like design.

Mom and dad =)

My dad's order, fresh orange juice.

My premium sushi platter!

I ordered their favourite sushi platter contains of several tuna and cucumber roll, tamago, sweet shrimp sushi, uni sushi, ikura sushi, ika sushi, salmon belly sushi, hamachi sushi, and 2 pcs of TORO!! Yeah.

I took the first bite on the salmon belly and in the same second, I was admitting in my heart that this is truly one of the best salmon belly I've ever eaten. Truly I have no idea of why did that salmon belly taste so good! Beside their thick slice, the freshness of the fish contribute most of the taste I think. It was just so so tasty.

The rolls, thick-tamago, and the ika were decent.

Sweet shrimp was really good. I do love sweet shrimp so much and I think only premium quality sushi resto could serve sweet shrimp at its maximum potential. And here, they serve this shrimp in its maximum potential, the texture was just chewy and kinda crispy on the outerside, and the taste was magnificent.

Now for the best part, the TORO!! I don't know if you would believe this or not, but the toro is the tastiest, freshest, thickest, and the most perfect toro I've ever eaten in my life! This toro totally flown me to the sky! The texture was just melting in your mouth and the taste was really indescribable. If I could trade all the other sushi (salmon belly etc) with another slice of toro off course I would. Truly, this is so so so divine. You know? I remember the toro's taste until now, I haven't find any toro as good as this until now T_T

Salmon Teriyaki. Grilled into perfection and good thick cut.

My dad's set menu contains of some sashimi slices (tuna and squid), agedashi tofu, egg custard (which I forgot the Japanese name), sushi and handroll, ebi tempura, beef teriyaki, and a bit yaki udon. This is a really huge portion which my mom and that finished together..haha..

The sashimi and sushi is off course nice, good and fresh slices of raw fishes. The tempura and teriyaki was decent. But I want to emphasize in the egg custard. The egg custard is so good, one of the best egg custard I've ever have. They put octopus and ikura on the bottom of the bowl and those turned this ordinary egg custard into something special rather than just an eggy custard.

In overall, it was a really pleasant dinner we have at Sushi Sei. The service was good and the food was outstanding. The only concern is their price! They put some crazy price tag for the food. Like my sushi platter was priced Rp 400.000 or more if I'm not mistaken, my dad's set menu was priced Rp 250.000. So I would gladly go back to Sushi Sei (despite their pricing) especially for their toro.

My rating : 9.5 out of 10 (for the food) and 5 out of 10 for the price

So overall rating : 7,5 out of 10 (sorry for the price)
