| - JaBistro is probably one of the top sushi restaurants in the city - and I was very excited to be able to try.
I arrived at 7PM with a reservation and was seated at the Sushi Bar. This was a pretty neat place to sit as you go to see the chefs make their sushi as well as blowtorch their sushi.
We were given a menu, which consisted of sashimi, blowtorched sushi, specials of the day, and hot food items.
The service was pretty good - our waitress was a little bit aloof but very friendly nonetheless. We would probably expect a little more given how high-end the restaurant appears to be. Attentive to our water levels - but mixed up our orders and offered us a dessert menu when our mains have not all come.
1) Sashimi Platter: Consisted of a mix of tuna, scallop, mackerel, trout and others. The fish in the sashimi platter is very fresh - one of the best in the city. We were also given a sweet soy sauce and a housemade soy sauce to dip. A great mix of fish of wonderful quality overall.
2) Ebi nanban: Deep friend shrimp to perfection - the batter is well seasoned and not too heavy. The tartar sauce was just divine - but I'm a sucker for tartar sauce. A pretty good value of a dish for the restaurant as it came with 7 shrimps.
3) Ebi oshizushi: The blowtorch sushi series is their claim to fame and I completely understand why. The Ebi Oshizushi is smoky with a well seasoned shrimp. On first glance, it may seem like the rice is quite hefty, but it works well with how flavourful the shrimp is.
4) Salmon oshizushi: The salmon oshuzushi is also wonderful. I loved the jalapeno addition to the top and gives it a nice kick.
5) JaBistroll: Lots of textures with the fish roe, uni, salmon and snow crab. It is a party in your mouth.
6) Horse Tataki - Rougher than a beef tataki but gives you a great chewiness. I loved the sauces that it came with especially the sea salt sesame oil.
7) Uni - Wonderful, tasted like the sea without an excessive fishy taste. We thought it was a lot of wasabi but it worked well with the uni. Beautiful texture.
8) The Aji and the Yellowtail was also wonderful.
9) Finished off with a green tea mousse that I enjoyed quite a bit but it wasn't exactly out of the world in my opinion. Good strong matcha flavours with a scoop of pretty good vanilla ice cream.
As you can tell, I am quite impressed with JaBistro. No way to sugarcoat that it is a pricey spot to have sushi. However, it's definitely worth it if you want your night out to include a great sushi meal.
