Food At Sushi Hiro SS2
Clearly, sushi attracts the crowd. Pricing is as low as RM1.90 (per pink plate) and RM2.90 (per orange plate).
There are many sushi options to choose from too.
Note: If you go after peak hours, there is less to choose from as the sushi chef pares down the variety. This is to ensure that there are no leftovers.
For starters, there are staples like tamago and ebi maki sushi.
As well as more exquisite options like the Kamo Cheese Inari Sushi.
The menu also includes crowd favorites like pasta, udon soba, omu rice, and donburi (rice bowls) too.
You can’t go wrong with their ramen either as the broth has an authentic umami taste. Each bowl is satiating tasty and worth every slurp. The noodles are delightfully chewy too.
On the other hand, their Japanese curry rice with fried ebi features juicy and huge prawns.
Udon soup with seaweed and mushrooms is another popular dish. The udon is chewy with great texture and the soup is delicious. This dish comes with marinated ginger on the side too.
Don’t forget to dig into their spicy crispy salmon. This is juicy and fresh and comes in generous portions.
They even have desserts on their kaiten belt, although options are few. There is mochi and pudding:
Red bean mochi has an earthy toasted filling. Honing subtle nuances of a good roast, you know that they make the red bean paste from scratch.
Their peanut butter and pandan mochi don’t disappoint either. The super smooth and soft outer layer crumbles in an explosion of robust flavors.
Their honeydew and mango pudding go off the conveyor belt in a flash too. So if you’re dining in after 8 pm, it’s likely that these desserts are no longer available.

Ease Of Parking At Sushi Hiro SS2

Head towards the non-shaded, open parking bay at the center of the hub. Note that the price per entry will set you back by RM4.
Or, put in some legwork and park within the neighboring housing area. But finding a spot here is also not as easy as you might think. Especially during lunchtimes and weekends.
Conclusion
Sushi Hiro is almost flawless in its food and service. Given its affordability and variety. But if you dread the long queues or the nightmarish parking, look to meal deliveries instead.
If you want to dine in, try going a little earlier before rush hour or rescheduling your meal a little later.
