1st Sushi Mentai Outlet in Ipoh!
The newly opened Sushi Mentai outlet in Ipoh was selected as the venue for my early birthday celebration with my family as I am hitting the road again later this week.
The bright orange façade of the corner lot on the same street as Maxis Centre in Greentown Business Centre caught our attention and we couldn’t wait for it to be opened for business.
Sushi Mentai is a familiar brand for those who have a liking for Japanese cuisine – after all, there are more than twenty outlets in cities such as Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Penang and now, it has finally arrived in Ipoh.
The brand is already well-known for bringing Japanese cuisine to the masses by keeping prices affordable without compromising on quality, taste or freshness. So, it was no wonder that the restaurant was packed when my family had our lunch there on the fourth day of its opening (opened on 17th Nov, 2015).
Most people preferred Sushi Mentai’s selection of fresh sushi from the conveyor belt. After all, each plate is only RM1.80 (as indicated by yellow-coloured plates) and RM2.80 (red-coloured plates).
Each range boasts 25 different varieties, and that’s a lot of choices to pick for a meal!
What my family had were from the à la carte menu. Obviously, compared to the conveyor belt, our food took a bit more time to prepare but we didn’t mind the wait.
So, these photos were of our lunch for four a few days ago, with items that ranged from special maki (rolls) to yakimono (grilled, broiled or pan-fried), agemono (deep-fried) and of course, donmono (rice dishes).
As you can see, we opted for rice instead of noodles (menmono). The Chinese must have rice even while eating Japanese! Hahaha!
Looking at these photos, you can imagine how full we were. I was prepared for the bill to be above RM200, as prices on the menu are exclusive of 10% service charge and 6% GST.
To my surprise, the bill came up to under RM200 for everything, which was just right for my budget. Will I return for another meal? Of course, since these dishes were just from a small selection of the menu. But then again, I’d probably go for the sushi-go-round next time!

Oh my god! The foods look so delicious and yummy. I’m surprised to look at the bill too. Guess it’s worth it? 😀
Sushi Mentai is super popular in KL too especially for the super cheap price! Your post makes me crave for Japanese food
What a coincidence! You are in ‘Japan’ too in sushi mentai XD lol
Heard alot of good feedbacks about the place being decently priced and its always crowded.
OMG. I’m feeling hungry and wanna to to Sushi Mentai.
The food looks yummy!! Last time I also got go to the Seremban branch!! The food really very delicious!!!
They reminds me the early days of Sushi King. They are purely making good food at cheap price and trying to make a name. I have tried a few Sushi Mentai outlets, for the price, the food is a good deal.
I do not eat sushi but I could never say no to the bento!
WAHHHH….So many people one. We have sushi mentai in JB but i didn’t like it. I guess you pay for what you get. 🙂
I love Japanese food. All those photos especially Tempura Moriawase make me hungry.
Wow. Sushi Mentai is in Ipoh. I heard about this news before. There foods are yummy and the prices are reasonable.
So now it has invade Ipoh as well! They have a number of outlets here in KL and PJ. I have tried the one in SS2 but not to my liking unfortunately. Glad you and your family loved it! 🙂
Wow, the price is really reasonable… at first glance I read Mental sushi… and I thought it was a concept, then I realised my mistake. hahaha
I haven’t try any dish from Sushi Mentai even there are few branches in Kalng Valley. Seems I should give it a try soon~
wow. SUSHI MENTAI is everywhere now. There is even one 5 minutes outside of my house. you gotta try their sashimi platter! Its good and cheap!
This place is so crowded during lunch time. I am craving for the Salmon Mentaiyaki, looks delicious and creamy.
