Seeking Solace in Penang – Azuma Japanese Restaurant @ Queensbay Mall
April 1, 2009 | 5,743 views
Very nicely presented, scoring top marks in aesthetic values (except for one failed salmon mayo roll) … Tastewise?
Of course, we were in Sushi mode that evening, so we cancelled the other orders instead. The platter of mixed sushi was intimidating, as each sushi was not of bite-sized/dainty proportion, but instead rather filling. To the point of feeling rather bloated by the 5th of 6th piece. The platter includes prawn, salmon, tuna, prawn roe, eel, tuna mayo in beancurd skin, and salmon mayo roll.
All were fresh, the fish firm and sweet, while the cooked items scored as well. Except the ebikko (shrimp roe) which was a little salty. The maguro (tuna) was deliciously thick and succulent, while the tako? (octopus)’s texture was bouncy, and firm.

You sure have been eating like a Prince !
Make sure you go swimming for at least 8 km a week or jog 5 km a day !
[Reply]
KCA : yeah, din expect them to be filled with rice, and crispy also.
allie : wallet not thick? oh I think their bento is value-for-money also, ranging about RM20 only.
Precious Pea : we could’ve ordered more had the waiter didnt stop us. hmmm …
Simple Girl : thanks! the camera ain’t mine though, belongs to a friend. I didnt bring mine to the camp.
Life for Beginners : no katanas, nor nunchakus. but a bit of tears …. we’re so touched.
Julian Si : thanks Julian. will link you later.
ck lam : yup, do give them a try. and in my mind I tot japanese pizzas=okonomiyaki pulak…
Food Paradise : no, thanks to YOU guys I’ve found out bout the place as well.
thenomadGourmand : true also, but after ahem, 5 days of mediocre food, you’d do anything to satisfy ur cravings for GOOD food …
[Reply]
Wow you have a big stomach. 😛 But the sushi looks really nice and big. I guess higher price really comes with better quality and portion. 🙂
[Reply]
NKOTB : nothing to be ashamed of! so many new restaurants in Penang, it’s impossible to catch up! 🙂
Selba : erm, reasonable I’d say. not really cheap lah …
BSG : there we jogged 2km once, an endurance test. within the time limit.
iamthewitch : i wouldnt say they’re exactly pricey, compared to many others.
[Reply]
So many types of sushi! Yummy~ Did the devil take all this?Haha!
[Reply]
SuwEi : surprisingly, he took it all in stride. no allergies, no effects. pure satisfaction. hehe …
[Reply]
Hahaha…after dorm food, one must eat like a prince! =D
Nice photos! You’ve got me craving for sushi now…
[Reply]
Bangsar-Babe : yeah, ate more like a KING … must replace all the lost ‘energy’ … 🙂
[Reply]
Now I know gov servants are quite rich… 😉
[Reply]
hmm, sounds worthy of a try. good info for me as might have to go to pg to work again… and probably @ bayan lepas area. we usually stay at the b suites though since only us 2 and krystal is a bit.. big.
[Reply]
jason : wei! where got … fitnah! fitnah! LOL.
jasmine : haha … true also. B Suites also not bad right? judging from the info on the site.

Japanese style pizza with rice base, so special~~~
[Reply]
wah this is really revenge of the sushi! lol sooo much sushi!!!
i like their amiyaki beef don. and the pizza too. but i found the pizza rather ‘jelak’ so can only eat about 2 pieces! lol
[Reply]
Yeah, Jurin has moved from Krystal Point…for more than 1 or 2 year++ d. Business is not doing well…i don’t really fancy Jurin anyway. 😛 Wow, will try the azuma zushi pizza next time!!
[Reply]
mimid3vils : yeah, crispy and savoury.
Lingzie : yes ah? only few pieces woh. i can finish a whole of it myself. hehe …
iamdoryfish : oh no wonder. Jurin got another in Pulau Tikus right?
Queensbay got a lot of restaurants lah, not bad.
[Reply]
woah, what a return!!! haha! i’m curious to know how raw salmon and unagi will taste like as a pair..the texture should be interesting la, hor!
solace indeed!
[Reply]
Nic (KHKL) : erm, yeah … though half of the pizza is unagi, another half is salmon. so the flavours don’t really mix.
[Reply]
the pizza looks really special! lucky i just had jap yesterday too, if not i’ll be staring at your pictures the whole day!
[Reply]
J2kfm,
In my opinion,Krystal suite better than Vistana in terms of its lodging comfort and room space. fyi, Azuma set lunch is also very worthy!
[Reply]
we are thinking where to eat to celebrate my friends’ birthday, azuma or golden triangle. the food here looks really nice! i think we might come here,haha!
[Reply]
azuma restaurant so good…
[Reply]
I’m sure it tastes twice as good as it looks.
