Just ten minutes from the bustle of KLCC lies a culinary treasure that's redefining the boundaries of Japanese fusion—Sushi Mastro Nikkei in Maluri. With its soaring ceilings, bold murals, and open-concept kitchen, this flagship restaurant doesn't just serve meals—it stages a gastronomic performance. Rooted in the vibrant tradition of Nikkei cuisine—a harmonious blend of Japanese precision and Peruvian flair—Sushi Mastro delivers a dining experience that feels both global and deeply Malaysian.

Every dish here tells a story. Start with their signature chawanmushi, a silky custard brimming with prawns and chicken. Then, dive into Nikkei Salmon Mango, where buttery Norwegian salmon meets juicy mango, or savour the clean, ponzu-kissed cuts of Ikejime Sashimi, featuring locally sourced, ethically processed fish.

Maki lovers will swoon over the Hamachi Uramaki and Unagi Uramaki, offering citrusy zing and sweet-savory hits in each bite. And the mains? They’re a masterclass in flavour fusion—from Scallop & Seabass with aji amarillo and quinoa, to the meaty richness of Norwegian Wild Halibut.

Don't skip dessert—Graham Cake, layered with cream cheese and fruit, is a nostalgia-laced finale. For lunch-goers, the Executive Set Lunch is a beautifully curated introduction to Sushi Mastro’s best.

Helmed by Chef Salim Ismail, a culinary veteran with Swiss fine-dining roots, and backed by Seafood Maestro's premium sourcing, this spot is a true standout in KL’s Japanese dining scene. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or fusion food explorer, Sushi Mastro Nikkei is a revelation.
