Top 10 Sushi Spots in Malaysia That Serve Rolls of Different Flavours and Other Surprises!
One lazy afternoon, my friend and I popped into a Japanese restaurant, just hoping for a light lunch. We ordered a sushi platter to share, but by the time I reached the last roll, I was already thinking about where I could get my next set of sushi.
Malaysia has many Japanese restaurants, and after that eventful lunch, I swore to myself that I must try other spots that offer this option. Since then, I’ve sampled flame-torched creations, rolls bursting with tropical twists, and even sushi topped with unexpected sauces.
Every bite since has been a little adventure, a perfect blend of texture, freshness, and flavour that keeps me ordering more. If you’re a die-hard sashimi fan or just love trying something new, this one’s for you!
Read on for the top sushi spots in Malaysia that serve excellence in the form of rolls in various flavours.
Tsukiji Sushi

Address: Unit No.G-1, The Greens, 1, Jalan Wan Kadir 3, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur
Contact details: +601133096881
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 11 AM to 2:30 PM | 5:30 to 10:30 PM
Cost: $
You’ll find Tsukiji Sushi tucked in the middle of TTDI, quietly dishing out some of the freshest and most affordable sushi in KL. It’s not about frills here—it’s about real flavour, a front-row seat to the sushi-making, and prices that start from just RM2.
What stands out is the open kitchen setup—you’ll sit just steps away from the chefs while they slice, torch, and plate each piece with focus. The salmon head is a sleeper hit, and if you’re into oysters, theirs are cold, plump, and surprisingly top-tier.
You’ll want to go early, though; the space is tight and they don’t take reservations. But honestly, that makes it feel even more personal—especially with the staff, making the experience warmer than you’d expect.
| Pro tip: If you’re visiting for the first time, try their grilled items like tempura prawns or mackerel alongside the sushi. You’ll get a better feel for how well they both raw and cooked dishes. |
SUSHI PLUS
Address: 26, Jalan SS 2/67, SS 2, 47300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Contact details: +60106685528
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 11 AM to 10 PM
Cost: $$
If you like your sushi quick, colourful, and fuss-free, SUSHI PLUS is your spot. With over 40 types to choose from, many of them created in-house, you’re looking at more than just your usual salmon nigiri.
They’ve got everything from mango-topped rolls to fried lobster sushi, and somehow, it all looks like edible art. It’s perfect when you want something satisfying without committing to a full sit-down meal.
Prices are budget-friendly, especially their party and lunch sets that pack variety without skimping on flavour. You’ll be in and out in minutes, full and happy, no long wait needed.
| Pro tip: If you’re going with friends or family, skip individual orders and grab a party set instead. You’ll get to try more flavours at a better value, and it’s way more fun to share. |
Hello Sushi

Address: LG1.K5(II), KL Gateway Mall, No. 2, Jalan Kerinchi, 59200 Kuala Lumpur
Contact details: +60182025140
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 10 AM to 10 PM
Cost: $
If you’re after sushi that fits into your grocery run or lunch break, Hello Sushi makes that ridiculously easy. It’s a grab-and-go setup, but they don’t cut corners on freshness or flavour.
You’ll want to get in earlier in the day though—the good stuff sells out fast, especially crowd favourites like the spicy abalone, kani mayo, and egg mayo. Each piece is prepped with care and packed neatly for convenience without being sloppy.
Prices are decent for what you get, and the kiosks are always clean and well-stocked. It’s not a place to linger, but for a quick sushi fix, this is one of the more reliable options out there.
| Pro tip: Don’t sleep on their limited-time seasonal flavour when they pop up. They rotate new combos often, and they’re usually among the first to disappear from the trays. |
Shin Zushi

Address: Ground Floor, No.11, Jalan Jalil Jaya 7 Jalil Link, Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur
Contact details: +60149509946
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM
Cost: $$
Shin Zushi hits that sweet spot between traditional sushi craft and playful fusion combos. They serve thick cuts of fresh sashimi, but it’s the fusion sushi that makes your visit worth it—stuff you won’t usually find elsewhere.
Their rolls are neatly packed and full of texture, and you’ll notice how well-balanced the seasoning is. The grilled salmon and spicy mayo rolls are best sellers, and if you’re into classics, the nigiri options don’t disappoint either.
Queues can be long, especially during peak hours, but food comes out quickly and portions are fair for the price. You’re not just paying for sushi—you’re getting solid technique behind every plate.
| Pro tip: Ask for their off-menu specials if you’re feeling adventurous. They sometimes prepare unique seasonal rolls or chef’s choice items that regulars swear by. |

Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 10 AM to 10 PM
Cost: $$$
If you’re ready to splurge a bit for a proper omakase experience, Sushi Yoshi delivers a solid introduction to premium Japanese sushi. You’ll get a front-row seat to watch each of the seven special sushi pieces being prepared with quiet precision and care.
The sushi lineup changes with the seasons, but expect things like buttery tuna, clean cuts of seabream, and melt-in-your-mouth scallops. The nigiri here isn’t about freshness—it’s about pacing and balance, especially when paired with their crystal-clear soup and delicate tempura on the side.
The chef doesn’t just serve you sushi—he explains it, making it a more personal (and memorable) meal. For what you get, especially the seasonal sashimi and that chilled yuzu sorbet to the end, it’s worth considering for birthdays and other celebrations.
| Pro tip: Don’t skip the chawanmushi because it’s not just a filler here. Their version is silky smooth with a hidden seafood base that kicks off the sushi experience on the right note. |
Sushi Hiro

Contact details: +60395474576
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM
Cost: $
Sushi Hiro nails that casual conveyor belt sushi experience while still offering quality that feels a step above the usual chains. If you’re bringing your family, the more affordable sushi plates roll out regularly, so you don’t have to wait long to start digging in.
You can order premium pieces like unagi or seared scallop nigiri straight from the QR code, and they’re served quickly and plated nicely. The fish is fresh, and the portioning makes each bite feel worthwhile—not too much rice, not too little topping.
They also do interesting twists like cheesy mentai toppings and ikura-stuffed chawanmushi, which is great if you like mixing up your sushi with a bit of indulgence. Prices are reasonable, and the vibe is chill—good for a relaxed dinner without the omakase price tag.
| Pro tip: Try their off-belt specials like the torched aburi sushi. They often drop limited seasonal variations that don’t show up on the conveyor belt at all. |
Sushi Mew

Address: 199, Bukit Bintang St, Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur
Contact details: +60103031133
Operating hours:
- Tuesday to Sunday – 12 to 3 PM | 6 to 10 PM
Cost: $$
Sushi Mew is where you go when you want a high-end sushi experience without maxing out your card. Their omakase sets, especially the uni-focused ones, are known for generous portions of sea urchin that taste like they flew in that morning.
You’ll get seven to ten courses of meticulously prepared sushi—think melt-in-your-mouth scallops, tamago with a twist, and buttery snapper with ponzu. The uni handroll is a must if you’re still hungry—it’s creamy, rich, and straight-up addictive.
What makes Sushi Mew stand out is the creativity behind each piece. From yuzu pepper accents to custom fish paste tamago, the chef clearly enjoys shaking things up while true to Japanese technique.
| Pro tip: If you’re into texture, ask for the arrowroot “tofu” course. It’s not sushi, but it gives your palate a break and shows off the chef’s range in a way you’ll remember. |

If you’re all about proper Edomae-style sushi, Sushi Oribe should be high on your list. The chef’s focus here is on clean, balanced flavours with just the right touch of seasonal flair—you’ll notice it right from the first bite of their flounder fin or akami nigiri.
Their omakase sets are all about technique and detail, from how the rice is seasoned to how each cut of fish sits on it. You even get to choose your rice portion, which is a rare bonus if you like your sushi with a lighter or heavier bite.
The chef makes it personal, guiding you through each course and adjusting it if you have any preferences or dietary stuff to flag. For what they and considering, everything is air-flown in—it’s honestly one of the better value premium sushi experiences around.
| Pro tip: Go for lunch if you’re new to omakase. The midday menu gives you most of the highlights, costs less and is perfect for easing into the whole experience without going overboard. |
Sushi Takumi

Sushi Takumi leans into the traditional side of sushi with a strong focus on nigiri—simple, clean, and all about letting the seafood speak for itself. Their premium omakase is ideal if you’re serious about quality and prefer your sushi without extra sauces or distractions.
The nigiri pieces come out one by one, each with a different neta, and if you’re lucky, the chef might throw in something seasonal you haven’t tried before. Regulars often request custom courses loaded with over 20 pieces, so if you’re a sushi lover, this place gets you.
They also serve a Takumi special wagyu katsu don and a salmon avocado barachirashi for when you want something comforting but still upscale. You can speak with the chef in advance to tweak your meal—it’s a personalised experience from start to finish.
| Pro tip: If you’re focused on sushi only, request a nigiri-only course. It’s not on the regular menu, but they’ll craft one for you if you ask ahead. |

Sushi Ori keeps things traditional, and that’s exactly why it works so well. Chef Ori’s omakase-style stays rooted in Japanese technique—light seasoning, delicate balance, and a big focus on the fish, rice, and seaweed coming together naturally.
The sushi here is clean and precise. Highlights include seasonal white fish nigiri, silky otoro, and perfectly grilled scallops that hold their own next to the raw stuff.
Everything is prepared right in front of you if you’re seated at the counter, which makes the whole experience more immersive. The chef is sharp, focused, and clearly knows what he’s doing—but he’s also approachable and happy to chat about what you’re eating.
| Pro tip: Try to time your visit with Japan’s seasonal seafood changes. Their head chef updates the menu to match, and that’s when you’ll get the rare cuts you won’t usually find elsewhere. |
