| - It's not much to look at on the outside and not much better on the inside. But don't let this unassuming restaurant fool you!
What went in my belly:
Sashimi Omakase - 17 pieces of premium assortments of sashimi ($25). ) The platter came with salmon, hamachi, fluke, white tuna, red tuna, scallop, uni, squid and shrimp. Incredibly fresh and really great value!
Uni Handrolls ($3 each) and Spicy Salmon Handroll ($2.30 each). Like the sashimi, the fish was incredibly fresh. What I loved about these rolls was the fact that there was filling up until the very last bite. There's nothing worse than taking one bite out of your handroll only to realize the rest of it is just rice. You know what I'm talking about!
Maguro No Tataki - lightly seared tuna served with garnish and ponzu ($6.50). Good but nothing special in my opinion. The least memorable dish of the evening.
Hokke ($13.50). Served grilled, this fish is similar to hamachi. The portion is quite substantial and while I found it a touch salty, it was still pretty darn tasty.
Spider Roll ($16). It came highly recommended by our server and I can see why. It was one of the best spider rolls I've had. Every bite had a nice crunch from the soft shell crab and was packed full of flavour. Yes, it's a little pricey but like the hokke, it's quite large.
After a meal here, I can see why Aoyama comes so highly recommended. Like I said, don't let its unassuming exterior fool ya!
