It’s generally quite a light dish and features a very mild hint of spice. I actually absolutely loved this! It’s something different, truly featuring innovative flavours and simply satisfying to taste.
It basically takes the concept of a Japanese sushi hand roll with shrimp tempura, but combining other non-typical Japanese ingredients such as Padron pepper, quinoa, spicy mayo, and red onions. I nearly skipped reading the Samba Roll section on the menu but I happen to spot the SASA roll at the corner of my eye which sparked enough intrigue in me to try it. I like them but am also quite picky with their fillings/toppings. Normally, I’m not particularly crazy over sushi rolls. Nevertheless, I loved the Chimichurri rice, which was well seasoned and just delicious! SASA roll (£12) Personally though, I was hoping to get more taste of spices from this. The sauce was extremely rich from the coconut, and it did get a little bit heavy towards the end. It’s really tangy, almost at the edge of being too much, and certainly packed with punches of intriguing flavours. Taking my first bite into the moqueca, a really sharp zingy taste awakened all my senses. Everything listed about this dish was absolutely enticing and it’s totally calling for me! I knew I had to get this once I saw it on the menu. The Moqueca Mista is a hot sizzling rice dish consisting of mixed seafood (shrimp, squid, sea bass, mussels, clams) that’s cooked with coconut milk and served with chimichurri rice. Pescatarian and vegetarian options are available. Please note that Sushi Samba does not serve halal meats. There is a plethora of options on the menu, featuring a range of small & large plates, sushi rolls, sashimi and nigiri, etc.
The decor is snazzy, with a blend of modern yet exotic touch of style. Inside the dining area, the interior is super bright with lots of natural light coming in during lunchtime. At the bottom of the stairway, there’s an installation of the iconic Kyoto shrine shaping the pathway into the dining area. They are not just another Japanese restaurant but showcases instead a fusion of Japanese cuisine with Brazilian and Peruvian flavours.Īs we hopped on then stepped out of the express elevator at the Heron Tower, we were greeted with this gorgeous view and the iconic stairway down to the restaurant.
