Jurin Express is from the same people behind of Jurin Sushi Bar at Belissa Row, Pulau Tikus. This one is situated at Gurney Plaza’s New Wing. At first, I thought it was a fast food liked restaurant with the word “Express”, but it still a same “look at the menu and take your order” Japanese restaurant. There’s like 4 Japanese restaurants in Gurney Plaza, competiting with each other.

My mom’s friend invited us for a dinner there. It was quiet that night but it seems like it’s quiet all the time because every time I passed by, there’s not many customer in there. Wrong timing, perhaps. =)

Anyway, let’s get into the food.

She got herself a Unagi-don. The unagi fillet is nicely decorated with the sesame seeds which I feel it’s just decoration. The fillet tasted sweet but a little bit too dry. Didn’t feel amaze with what it is, it’s just Unagi. I’ll say bigger would be better.

I’ve forgotten to mention, the food was really express, it served after a few minutes we had ordered. I think the “Express” word on its name really got what it meant. I ordered a Tepanyaki Grilled Salmon. The waitress got me a plate of grilled salmon and I waited for the rice for a some times. Then I asked my rice, only then I knew she got my order wrong. She gave me a ala carte Grilled Salmon instead.

I insisted on the Tepanyaki Grilled Salmon because it comes with vegetable, miso soup and a rice. Unfortunately, the salmon fillet is down sized from the ala carte’s. I like the sauce on the salmon, the salmon is nice but it’s small. The miso soup was clear but I like it.

Overall, I feel the food tasted just normal, salmon was nice, unagi was normal. I didn’t felt WOW with the food. The price of food is just like any typical Japanese restaurant price. If the price go down to the “express food” price, then I’ll visit again. Cheer.

Jurin Express is located on the second floor of Gurney Plaza’s New Wing, next to Sushi King.
