| - WHAT I GOT:
Aburi Premium Omakase (chef's choice assortment of apps, sushi, aburi oshi, and hand rolls) and the Smoked Aburi Chirashi Tart.
TASTE: [5/5]
The fish tasted fresh and the sauces/toppings used on each item were flavourful and paired well with the fish. The scallop sushi and truffle ebi aburi oshi were my favourites from the omakase. The scallop was sweet and fresh, whereas the truffle ebi had an interesting smokey flavour. I would definitely come back and order these two and the smoked tart again!
PRESENTATION: [4/5]
The food was presented on simple and modern tableware which allowed you to fully appreciate each piece of sushi art. The smoked tart is served on a plate with a glass covering that contains the smoke until you're ready to eat, this was pretty cool.
SERVICE: [4/5]
When we arrived at the restaurant, staff were welcoming and friendly. They gave us choice with regards to where we wanted to dine (natural lighting vs. dim lit). Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and prompt. She carefully explained the items we were curious about by referring to images on her phone.
THE LAST WORD:
Aburi Room is a place you need to visit if you like flame-seared (aburi) or pressed sushi (oshi). Definitely try the Aburi Chirashi Tart and pay the extra $3 for the smoked version. The pricing of the omakase options were very affordable (e.g., $22, $32, and $52) and I am looking forward to coming here again for my next aburi and oshi craving.
