October, 2018I went there for late lunch with hubby. It’s around 3 pm. Still customers come in… with good and fast services from 3 Japanese servers with less than 5 table of customers, fresh and yummy food..We tried:Uni nigiri sushi — uni is so fresh, but thin and small slice uni on big piece of rice, no wonder so cheap… $3.50 per piece.. I never had that price for uni sushi before.. used to be at least $6 per pieceLas Vegas roll — deep fried roll with 5 kinds of sauce with crab/ tobiko/ cream cheese.. it’s really crispy outside, tasty inside with a lot cream cheese, but it’s kind of filling.Spicy deep fried smelt — their batter mixed with chilli sauce in it.. it’s really crispy and spicy outside.. hot and soft inside.. yummy.. but too spicy for me.. I had one piece, my hubby need to finish all for me.Bacon bake roll — it’s so good.. highly recommended.. something different.. cannot find it from richmond area.Spicy miso ramen — not that spicy… tasty soup base with a lot of ingredients inside, but they forgot put pork meat inside, but they gave us 2 pieces of fatty pork belly, after we asked for it..Its about $70 + 15 % tips for 2 people for lunch. Not bad…I will go there again.. as long as .. they have a lot of selections and something different than others.June, 2018I went for lunch with mom. Slow and bad services with 2 Chinese ladies, saw all employees speak Chinese and 2 asian guys keeps swearing in Chinese and yapping about their boss at bar.We tried:Oyster motoyaki— too oily, tiny chopped oyster meat with a lot of spinach insideLunch box with tempura/ sashimi/ California roll .. big portion for $14.. worth for that priceUnagi and hamachi sushi — thin slice of fish on top of cold hard rice.Bacon bake roll– tasty and goodSound trap roll — just only crispy frakes top of California roll, not worth for that price
I’m staying at a nearby hotel and came here early on Aug 16, 2017. By the time I left at 1800, the restaurant was busy so I’d recommend coming early if you can. Menu is huge with a little bit of everything for everyone. My yardstick for sushi is salmon sashimi. So I ordered that along with the chopped scallop cone and two special rolls (red roll and sound trap). Food came quickly. First to arrive was the sashimi, quickly followed by the cone. There was a slight fishy odour emanating from the cone (didn’t taste fishy) and I think it was the cone holder that smelled funny. It didn’t appear to be squeaky clean (no visible dirt but appeared oily) so maybe that’s what it was. Taste and texture of the sashimi was amazing. Beautifully smooth and no fishiness. Portion size was ginormous. Cone was also delicious and not too mayonnaise-y. Red roll had a lovely spice to it. The sound trap… I’m not too sure about. It had a ton of sauce and the flavour of it just wasn’t to my liking. Just wanted to try something new and different. Total bill was $38 including tax. Service was great, even as the restaurant picked up. Would definitely come here again. As a previous poster mentioned, the building used to be a funeral home and I quite like it. It’s a very unique look on the inside and I love the landscaping outside. If nothing else, come here to take some lovely photos of greenery and flowers.
If you bring kids and order the kids combo: watch out for the wasabi they put on the plate! My toddler swallowed the whole thing before I had a chance to intervene. Needless to say, he was in pain for a while. When I asked why they included wasabi in kids combo, all kitchen staff and servers said in unison, ‘we do this all the time and no one has complained’. They proceeded to put the responsibility on me, that I didn’t stop him in time. It was a very unpleasant experience for our family.
After a Easter egg hunt event, my girlfriend and her little cousins were hungry. We all decided to come here. The ratings would be higher if service is up to par. There were 4 people at our table and they brought 2 waters. We asked for 2 extra waters 3 times and after the forth time it finally came. Sheesh…This place looks Korean owned. All the workers are Korean. As for the sushi, it’s decent. Not mind blowing, but decent. Just don’t order the sushi pizza or deep fried California roll… Blah!!!The Alaska roll was pretty sad as well…Cute little place, looks like it’s a historic house. Ample parking around back and side streets.
limited parking available,can get really busy or pay street parking love all their variety of sushi made in heaven fast, efficient and friendly service $$ but worth it $70 for 3 people for dinner
The sushi and rolls are ok. The cooked food dishes seem to be made a bit sloppy the last time I was there. They had sushi pizza, but wasn’t what I expected. Too much of the child mayo sauce and didn’t look too appetizing (see one of my posted photes). I had sushi pizza at one other restaurant in North Burnaby and that was the best.
My husband and I decided to try something new while in burnaby for the night…they told us 15 mins to wait which was totally ok but they forgot to give us our order and we waited thinking maybe it was someone else’s order… I can tell you that the sushi was a mushy consistency, almost all of it tasted the same with a weird off taste i cannot describe.The sushi LOOKED great…however I have never in my life spat sushi out before now. We were given free soup which I swear that was not tofu but more like an over cooked egg dropped in broth. And to top it all off a salad with a very very wrong flavour for a dressing that was like a sour sesame seeds cross with Italian dressing. No longer hungry and a waste of money.
