| Will never return
Been there twice, the last time was to give them one more try, still hopeless.
Not fresh, food were dry, seem over night food. As usual, over use of MSG, especially the noodles.
Look at the quality and servicing, it is Not really cheap.
PS: I enjoy makan and have travelled to Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand for their food; I use to eat at home, therefore my standard is very high.
In general, Singaporean do not understood MSG, they frequently over use them therefore you can find yourself thirst till the next day. |

| Lousy Food
Went 1 year back, food was alright but recently brought my parents and its totally cant make it. The sushis are NOT fresh and decent. The color of the sushis look weird and they are WARM!!!??? Tried 3 plates and turn out that all of them taste the same (sour and horrible). Variety wise extremely limited. Well I cant expect much from 99cents sushi but at least they should have served food that is much edible.
At least the staff didnt charge us after we had complained for the bad quality food. |

| What can I say, its cheap!
I've been to this place like a dozen times since its opening and has never occurred to me to write a review on it. Today maybe I should.
I was first attracted by the words: Sushi 99cents a plate. I didn't put in much thoughts about anything else and went there for my weekend dinner. Crowded and a little rowdy, this place was bustling with activities. Customers are seated at one end and the food is at the other. I guess not having too much cluster is a good thing.
The system works this way. You get a table and you can leave it empty, as the servers will know that the seats are taken. You then proceed to the food counter to get what you would like to have. Sushi was served on the conveyer belt. Any sushi you want that is not there, you will have to place an order with the chefs. All other food stuffs like ramen and drinks are taken orders using Ice Cream Sticks. You select what you want, go back to your seats and put them in the little baskets and they will proceed with the orders.
The system works for the management, but I didn't think it worked much for the customers. Many a time, customers have to signal for the servers to take their orders. I guess this has got to do with efficiency and effectiveness.
Don't expect too much from the food. At 99cents a plate, one should be lucky that the sushi even taste like 1! The taste isn't that bad, but the quality ain't that great either. For other items like their BBQ sticks, its a little over priced, at SGD 5.90 a plate. Ramen and don were served at a price of between SGD 6.90 to SGD 12.90, and well, all I can say is that at this price, I can get better ones.
Its amazing how they manage to have streams of customers. And once in a while, when I'm feeling poor and feel like having jap food, that's the place I'll go to. Otherwise, count me out. Please. |

| budget meal
actually this is quite a good place to go if u are a sushi lover and u only wanna spend a small amount for a good meal. this is because all the sushi there are 99 cents for each plate.
previously i don't like to eat raw fish. but after going to nihon mura, i started eating raw salmon. their raw salmon are very fresh and very big piece too. their tamago are also in very big piece as compared to outside and quite delicious too. the sushi rice is still hot when i eat it.
but there are still some bad points about this.
1. it is quite inconvenient to go there.
2. the sushi conveyor belt chef can only make a certain kind of sushi at one time. thus there seems to be not much choice (but u still can make a request to the chef)
3. one will have to be very patient when waiting for the sushi to get onto the conveyor belt.
4. don't order stuff other than sushi as they are quite costly.
5. no refill of tea.
6. all the waiters and waitresses looks too young to be professionals.
7. no service but yet got to pay for 10% service charge. (still got to go and get sushi yourself, no refill of tea. practicaly u have no chance to call on them for service.. hahhahahaha....) |

| The worst restaurant I've ever been to
Where do I begin?
A warning to all who come here expecting value for money upon hearing that they serve sushi for 99cts a plate, be prepared to be disappointed.
Food quality aside, the 99cts plate is in equivalent proportion to a $1.99 plate from Ichiban (that is, 2 from Nihon = 1 from Inchiban). The servings are so pathetically tiny that it killed my appetite just by looking at it. Moreover, the 99cts plate selection were few and most of the other items' prices were jacked up. For example, I have to pay 3.90 for a temaki which I could have cheaply gotten from Sakae for half the price and taste better.
The food is so-so considering its price and absolutely terrible if you compare it with the more expensive and authentic jap places in town. The way the sushi was rolled were amaterish and definitely not the standard u expect from a proud japanese chef. I was sorely disappointed with their Jumbo roll that cost $10 which is essentially the $8/9 Dragon roll from Sushi Tei. In fact, the Dragon roll from Sushi Tei is made from a much bigger and fresher prawn which taste yummier.
I wanted to order the Salmon Sashimi Sushi but I had carelessly left out the word "sushi" resulting in some misunderstanding between the "Chef" and I. He told me to check out the ordering sticks and when I saw the word Salmon Sashimi, I realised the miscommunication and corrected myself BEFORE I MADE MY ORDER. But guess what? He SCOLDED me for not making myself clear. Like excuse me? I am the customer here and I am paying for your food which indirectly translates to your salary. I was the one who suffered by walking up and down looking for the correct ordering stick and I have not even raised my displeasure yet but there he was, already talking to me in the kind of tone like I was his servant.
I did not argue with him lest he spit in my food but I was in half a mind to speak to the manager on this matter until I saw the "manager" (or team leader) who looks like a sec/jc kid. I abolish all thoughts of any complaints when the team leader himself, set down our food in haste - his body was already fully turned away before the plate even touched our table. Because our table was quite full with empty plates (which they should have cleared), the team leader instead tried to push the plate down by squeezing for a space in between the mess, all this time with his head and body in another direction and his legs already walking towards another table.
I understand that this place is targeting those garbage collectors kinda patrons who just want cheap food to fill the stomach. I would have let this poor attitude go until the bill came and I saw to my horror that they actually charge us 10% for their service. My bill came up to $50+ and I cannot believe that I paid $5 to be scolded by the chef on top of other things.
The ordering system as mentioned by the previous reviewers was totally stupid. At first one may find it interesting. But after we encountered picking the wrong stick from the correct stick holder and thus messed up our orders, we knew better. The stick ordering system is nothing but a lousy gimmick that adds no value.
I truly cannot find any reason why I would come back to this place again. If I want cheap sushi, I would rather go to the supermarket and buy. I think the auntie there would probably be more polite. |
