One of the most popular sections at any Don Don Donki store is sushi. Which probably explains why the Japanese discount chain is bringing its made-to-order sushi concept called Sen Sen Sushi to our shores.

The casual in-store eatery was first launched in Hong Kong and Bangkok. The Singapore outlet is located at Don Don Donki’s 14th and latest store at Jurong Point, which opens tomorrow (Nov 17) at 10am.

The sushi is made only upon order, and you can view the available ingredients displayed in chillers at the counter. Once you have submitted your chit, you are handed a buzzer to collect your sushi when it’s ready.

The menu
There are 42 types of sushi sold by the piece here, categorised by Nigiri Sushi, Gunkan and Hoso Maki (thin sushi rolls).

Prices are pretty reasonable, starting from $0.80 for a Tamagoyaki Nigiri, all the way to $6 for A4 Wagyu Beef Nigiri and Otoro & Uni Nigiri and $12 for Fresh Uni.
The mid-range selection includes Chutoro Nigiri ($4/pc), Fresh Salmon Mentaimayo ($2/pc) and Negitoro Maki ($3/roll). There are also intriguing picks like Terimayo Steamed Oyster ($2/pc), Unagi ($1/pc) and Zuwai Kani (Snow Crab Meat, $2/pc).

The store
The brightly-lit Jurong Point store is spacious, and feels a lot less cramped than Don Don Donki’s other outlets like Clarke Quay Central and Downtown East.
10of12
It has the usual sections that you can find at most Donki outlets: Fresh produce, frozen/chilled meat and seafood, snacks, cosmetics, alcohol and a hot and cold deli stocked with ready-to-eat bentos and desserts.

We spotted new deli items like crab fried rice and microwaveable oden.
