| - This is THE PLACE for SUSHI. No really, it is, even the name says it. Honestly, it's such a terrible name, that I almost hesitated going in here and the fact that it's next to a gas station and a 7-11, but because of the good reviews, I ventured in anyways.
What I loved:
-BEST SERVICE EVER FOR AN AYCE JAPANESE JOINT. The waitress I had explained the different buffet options to me. $13.99 for black items, $19.99 if you order any red items. All items came within 10 minutes of ordering.
-The option to have sashimi at $19.99 for lunch
-BBQ BEEF RIBS. So tender, so much meat, so juicy, so lovely, so want more now.
-SASHIMI. At $19.99, I don't expect the biggest selection of sashimi, but they still had salmon, butterfish, tuna, snapper, crab meat and octopus (tako).
-TOBIKO...nice melt in your mouth fish eggs. Btw, I wanted to point out to all my fellow masago lovers, tobiko is more expensive than masago therefore BETTER!
-SEAWEED SALAD - was fresh and had a nice crunch to it.
-The spoon that came with the ice cream. Cute.
What I liked, but didn't love:
-Beef sashimi - cooked perfectly but lacking marination. Added soya sauce to it, then it tasted good.
-Agedashi tofu - fresh and hot, needed a bit more seasoning, but regardless great fried healthy food haha
-The decor. It was open and modern, but it felt like a cross between a cafeteria, a noodle place and a chain restaurant. Kind of weird, but it was very clean, so a-ok. Washrooms were very clean too.
-The unagi sushi. Unagi was tasty, but too much rice on the bottom.
-Tuna sashimi and tako sashimi had a limit of 3 pcs per person. Understandable at the price point.
What I didn't like:
-Spicy salmon hand roll - while there were two large pieces of salmon, I felt the rice portion was excessively big and the seaweed wasn't crunchy enough to give the hand roll that nice crunchy taste.
-Ikayaki - grilled octopus. Too chewy.
Verdict: I'd definitely go again and next time, will try the rolls. Don't let the gas station and the 7-11 fool you, this is a diamond in the rough.
TL;DR: good sashimi and ribs at cheap price, just go
PS - SORRY TO ONE OF MY FAVE YELPERS FOR TRYING TO BE PUN-NY in my opening line.
