Sushi Yay: Never Buy This 'Cuz It Ain't Worth It! But If It's Ultimate, Let's Go Hehe
Plot Twist: The "Cheap" Option Is Actually Not Worth It Sushi Yay has 3 all-you-can-eat packages: Regular, Premium, and Ultimate. And here is my hot take: the Regular package is a total trap (Jebakan Batman). Why? Simple math, bro. With the Regular package, you only get:
- Sushi that is more rice than filling.
- No sashimi (literally the premium raw fish that should be the highlight).
- Super limited menu options.
- Only Ocha for drinks.
Basically, you’re paying to eat all-you-can-eat rolled rice. Thanks, but no thanks.
Ultimate Package: The Real MVP I personally always go for Ultimate, and here is the breakdown of why it’s worth every rupiah: Price: IDR 180,000-ish (with TikTok promos—yes, hunting for promos is mandatory). What you get:
- Unlimited Sashimi (fresh salmon & tuna, this is the game changer).
- Various Side Dishes (not just fillers, they’re actually tasty).
- Ramen (comfort food that actually fills you up).
- Rice bowl variations (if you get bored of sushi).
- Dessert (a proper sweet ending).
- Various drinks (not just ocha—this is crucial).
So you’re not just eating rolled rice until you’re nauseous, but actually getting variety that makes your dining experience satisfying.
Pro Tips from My Experience
- Come on Weekdays if Possible The atmosphere is way more chill, you don’t have to fight the crowds, and the meal is more enjoyable. Weekend? Prepare for chaos and queues.
- Hunt for TikTok Promos First You can literally save tens of thousands. The Ultimate package that’s usually 200k-ish can drop to 180k-ish. In this economy, every rupiah counts.
- Eating Strategy: Don't Rush the Rice This is a classic mistake: you’re hungry, you grab the sushi with the huge rice portions, and boom—you’re full before trying the other menus. Start with sashimi and side dishes first, then hit the carbs.
Vibes Check: Who is it for? The place is comfortable for:
- Family dinners (not too noisy, proper seating).
- Hanging out with friends (you can stay a while and chat).
- A decent budget date (180k for all-you-can-eat with decent quality? Not bad).
The atmosphere is casual but neat. Not super fancy, but not cheap either. Just right.
Bottom Line: Skip Regular, Go Ultimate Look, I get it, sometimes you want to save money. But trust me on this: it’s better to save up a bit or wait for a promo, then go straight for the Ultimate package. Rather than spending money on the Regular package but going home disappointed because you’re only full on rice—literally a waste of time, waste of money, waste of mood.
Final verdict: Is Sushi Yay worth it? YES, but only if you go Ultimate. The other packages? Hard pass.
Rating: 8/10 (minus 2 for the misleading Regular package and the overwhelming weekend crowds). Price Range: IDR 180,000 - 200,000++ per person (Ultimate package). Recommended? Absolutely, but with notes: Ultimate package only, hunt for promos, and go on weekdays if you can.
Now go forth and eat responsibly (but don’t forget to grab extra sashimi). 🍣
