Thoughts: "壽司明太 Sushi Mentai" was at 35, Jalan USJ 9/5S for a few years and the Franchise I guess was terminated and replaced by "Sushi ZenS" for some time now. Last month on March 28th, the franchise made a come back to USJ9 as a 2 shop lot along USJ 9/5M (same row of shop lot with Restoran Sri Nirwana Maju. 
壽司明太 Sushi Mentai's journey began in the early 2010s when a group of passionate entrepreneurs, inspired by their love for Japanese cuisine, decided to introduce an authentic yet accessible sushi dining experience to Malaysians. Hence, they introduced their rm$1.80 and rm$2.80 Sushi plates on 迴轉壽司 conveyor belts. The Japanese F&B is probably one of the popular franchises in the country and to-date have at least 49 locations with 23 locations in 雪蘭莪 Selangor and 吉隆坡 KL, and the rest in 檳城 Penang, 霹靂 Perak, 柔佛 Johor, 森美蘭 Negeri Sembilan, 馬六甲 Melaka, 彭亨 Pahang, and 砂拉越 Sarawak.
