We decided to head to Sushi Tei on a public holiday for dinner. We got there early and asked for a table for 5.

As the air con is directly above quite a few of the tables, we asked for 1 that is away from it. While the host was pleasant in obliging, the faces on the service crew weren't pleased. It was a chore for them as we asked if another table is free.

When we spilt our tea, the service staff although had to be called over and we had to ask for a cloth, she did do a really good job in assisting us to clean up.

Food was good, and even though the place packed up, the service staff who was attending to our table was friendly and cheerful. Kudos to her!! (Shame I didn't get her name)

I ordered yakidori don and I found that the chicken pieces were chopped slightly big, but the sauce and portion given saved the whole dish. What interest me was the design of the restaurant and the seating area. It felt like a maze when I entered and the dining area had a cosy sofa.

Really enjoyed the setup of the place and the variety when it came to the menu and the sushi belt. The taste was very authentic and delicious. The staff are not friendly, and if you go at non dinner or lunch times you get to skip the waiting and payment queues.

Sushi Tei is another chain of reliably good Japanese restaurant. The sushi and sashimi freshly made and the fish were fresh. The Golden Roll and Dragon Roll sushi were delicious and so were the other sashimi dishes. Not so sure about the chawan mushy nor the yaki soba, the noodles were too cooked though a generous serving. Service was attentive and prompt, better service than another Chinese dumpling restaurant chain.

This restaurant was very busy and this encouraged us to have a look. The food was good if a little rushed but one look at the line waiting showed how,popular it was with the locals.

Tempura and sashimi were very good. Gyoza's were excellent and better than some very expensive places we have eaten at. Salmon tataki was a surprise as this was a western themed Japanese dish that really worked.

Prices were reasonable and the place was full of locals enjoying fresh Japanese with a twist.
