Sushi Mastro Nikkei, Kepong: Japanese-Peruvian Cuisine

Nikkei cuisine is the marriage of delicious Peruvian and Japanese flavours and one of the best places to experience this in Kuala Lumpur is at Sushi Mastro Nikkei. Located in Kepong in Fortune Centra, this Halal restaurant occupies the first floor above Baskin Robbins, with both indoor and balcony seating. 

The menu comprises of soups, cold selections, sushi and sashimi, with an injection of Peruvian influences as well as Peruvian favourites such as ceviche, with a local twist (using local fish such as golden snapper) and much more. Service is friendly, with staff knowledgeable about the ingredients and ever ready to offer their recommendations on dishes to order here.



We started our meal with the Nikkei Salmon Mango (RM58). First mouthful, and I was in love. The sweet mango, luscious salmon sashimi slices and the salty ikura shoyu zuke worked magic together. No wonder this is the bestselling dish here at the restaurant. A must-try!




Next to arrive was the Mastro Ikejime Ceviche (RM42) using our local jenahak fish (golden snapper), prepared using the Japanese ikejime technique, to maintain the quality of the meat. The fish is marinated in leche de tigre, or tiger's milk, the Peruvian term for the citrus-based marinade that cures the seafood in a ceviche. 



For drinks, try one of their creative Mocktails; we had the tea-based El Morado (RM13.80) as well as Pepino Asam Boi (RM13.80)

If you're a fan of sushi or sashimi, go for their signature Surtidas platter for an assortment of their best selections. We went for the Sashimi Surtidas (RM158) which comes with 8 kinds of fish (2 pieces each); featuring local fish such as siakap, jenahak, and Malabar snapper as well as Hokkaido scallop, salmon, hamachi, akami and maguro otoro. Ponzu sauce is poured over the local fishes. Everything was really fresh, a pure indulgence and joy to savour.







Possibly one of the most Instagrammed dish from this restaurant is the Seafood Shirashizushi (RM75), a delicious bowl of sushi rice topped with diced salmon, hamachi, hon maguro, amaebi, unagi, ikura, tobiko, baramundi, red snapper, and Malabar snapper. Once you're done snapping photos, turn over the contents of the bowl onto the plate provided, mix everything well, and dig in! The sushi rice is marinated with teriyaki and furikake, so it's an extra flavorful dish. It tastes just as good as it looks, amazing!




For dessert, we shared the Graham Cake (RM20), made from cream cheese, crackers and fruit cocktail. A nice, sweet end to our meal here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, totally worth the 45-minute drive to get here! The seafood was super fresh, and the flavours were well-balanced and spot on. Food presentation had the wow factor and is very Instagrammable too. As the restaurant is quite small, I highly recommend that you book a table before your visit.
