I really wish yelp allowed half stars because this place deserves a bit more than a 3. I've really been meaning to try this place since I saw it had some nice reviews.
I ordered over the phone for pickup to save time, and I'm glad I did. There's a 13% discount for all pickup orders (cash only)!
When I arrived I noticed that the place is a little small, so if you're dining in with a bigger group you may be a little smushed together. There's maybe 5-6 tables in the restaurant. The place was nicely decorated, but when you stand up you can see in plain view the entire kitchen and back area. It's actually kinda funny that more space is used for the kitchen than the seating area.
I really wanted to see what they had that was new so I ordered the japango, Louis and wow roll (recommended over the phone). After the discount it came to a little over $35. When I handed the cashier $41 she stopped for a minute and asked if I wanted my change. For takeout? I just thought that was a little funny, but didn't think much of it.
When we finally dove into those rolls they were pretty good. The wow roll was a bit over torched but the flavour was still on point. What I especially liked was that they had a little spice kick in them. However, I was a bit disappointed that the rolls were kind of small. For $12 each I had hoped they would be a little larger.
Overall this place was good. Sushi is nice and flavourful but kind of small. Without the discount I don't think I would be able to justify ordering the $12 rolls. I would definitely come back, maybe on a quiet afternoon for a nice lunch.
