I had lunch combo D because I was caught by the jumbo shrimp tempura. Yes, the shrimp tempura can count as jumbo size; however, its not the shrimp itself. It is NOT jumbo shrimp. I interpreted it so wrong. The tempura coating was very thick. How they use bowls and dishes is another interesting focus. They use general Japanese soup bowl for rice; and general Japanese rice bowl for soup. I think that they want to serve you more soup. They serve you less rice in a bowl because the combo includes enough sushi. In fact, they are quite thoughtful. On the other hand, I am not happy that they serve food with broken dishes. And the basket for tempura is unpleasant ( I think its not clean for food ) even though they use a tempura paper in between. The dish for tempura is unexpected small for dipping. As the coating is very thick, I think the sauce is not enough for all tempura. Luckily, I dont want that much coating so the sauce is just enough.
It’s been awhile since I have been here. There is a paid parkade right beside the restaurant since there is no parking lots at the restaurant since it’s right off Kensington. The food here was pretty good but the service was a miss. It was super slow and we had to ask for water and tea refills. Luckily we weren’t in a rush cuz they hardly came to check on our table. Was able to make a reservation which was nice.
I’m not sure why the ratings are high here? My thoughts on the sushi was nice presentation but flavors were mediocre. The nigri portion size seemed much smaller than the sashimi. Some of the rice broke apart and fell to the ground when I tried picking up the sushi. I mean I’ve been practicing chopsticks since I was five so I’m pretty sure I know how to use them. For the sushi price I don’t feel like the quality was there. I didn’t see anything offered here that other places don’t offer at a cheaper price. The service was not great as our order got mixed up with some items missing and others not what we requested.
Not sure why the 4.5 ratings on here because our experience tonight was far from that. Slow service. Food came out wrong. Forgot our scallop sushi. Too much rice on the rolls and to top it off, not the cheapest place for mediocre to below average sashimi and rolls. I don’t mind paying premium prices for quality sushi but when you only have a chunk of rice wrapped around a shrimp tempura with small pieces of unagi, half an avocado and two drops of sauce…sorry not worth $15.95. I would like to mention though that the free salmon tempura appetizer was a nice touch. I just expected more in terms of service and in the quality of food for the price. Won’t be coming back unfortunately.
Absolutely loved it and wish we didn’t wait so long to try this hidden gem! Everything was super fresh, the miso, tempura, rolls and sashimi were all very fresh and generous portions. The sample appetizer was a salmon tempura which was amazing! Very fresh and tasty. The staff/owners were super friendly and and very welcoming. We will definitely be back!
This particular sushi place was on my list so we decided to try it when we had a chance. We drove around a couple of times. If you blink you will miss it if you’ve never been there before. It was pretty quiet. The waitress was very friendly and interactive with kids. We had Ramen with salmon tempura. The broth was flavorful and the tempura was light crispy and very tasty. We also had the dragon roll. It was good but not really spectacular. Kid did not want to eat it due to sauce. We also had the maki roll combo which was also good. Kid also had an avocado roll which was Wolf down. My only complaints here are if we are going to eat at your establishment there should be free parking. The sign says customer but it’s a pay parkade. The bathroom was nice and clean and roomy but no change table. Baby gets changed on the floor which could be a deterrent. Probably good place for date night and some of the other rolls.
Sushi here is very fresh especially the sashimi! My whole family and myself was very satisfied with the food there! It’s a smaller place, but it was worth going to.
