Their sushi and sashimi are so fresh. It just feels like I’m eating in japan! Cannot resist everytime I drive by – I always have to come in for lunch! Yummy!
Love the seafood chawamushi, it tastes even better than one at Isami. The portion is smaller but it has so much flavour. My husband gushes over the flavour. The spicy scallop roll is really good and very fresh. Just a bit disappointed that it is not spicy at all. We also had the three kind assorted sashimi and house special dynamite roll. The dynamite roll is really good and prawn they use is big and very fresh and good quality. The salmon sashimi and scallop sashimi are really good and fresh. Their salmon sashimi is one of the best I’ve taste anywhere. They use very good quality rice here so it makes the sushi roll tastes really delicious. We also love Mai dai kama sakamushi which is the steamed Japanese fish with sake. The fish meat is fatty and very soft and tastes delicious. It comes with vinegar dipping sauce. The price for sashimi is bit high and the portion is smaller than other restaurants but all the food we taste here are really good with high quality and are very fresh.
You get what you pay for. This place is a little more pricey than others on Victoria Drive but the quality and taste of the food is far superior. The staff are really nice too :).
Negitoro roll was one of the best I had ever! Would come back just for that! Other things were alright. There Dynamite roll was wack. Over experience was good considering I went to AKI a few weeks back and to me seemed like Shima-YA was better. and 1/3 the price less!
I came in alone for an early dinner, and was the only customer. I sat at the bar and ordered the omakase for $30, which included about 12 or 13 pieces of nigiri sushi. Pieces were large, and fish was flavourful but far too big, which threw off the balance for me. Every piece was made and served together, which is not my preference. The Tako in particular disappointed – as the soy sauce drizzled on top had disintegrated the rice by the time I ate it. I should have realized that it was supposed to be eaten earlier, but the chef did not mention anything.The nigiri sushi here is not to my taste, but I would like to return to try their other offerings.Rating based on food only.
How hard is it to manage 6 tables?. Awful service. Acts as though you need membership to eat there. Completely unreal with wait times. Nothing special. It’s sushi. It’s not rocket science.
Pure goodness!. Read all the reviews and totally agreed with them. Good thing we went early, small place, excellent food and service. I’m still drooling for more. No fancy decors or crazy menu.
