| - Situated on yonge and Sheppard, you can't really miss it's huge sign. I've passed this place a few time so when a date suggested to meet here I jump at the chance.
This is a huge place with very modern decor. Not a typical Japanese restaurant despite the regular fare of sushi and sashimi. We were very surprised to find that it also functions as a sports bar and on this particular night the Leafs were playing and there was a bit of a wait to get a booth, with a TV on the wall next to us.
We weren't really into the game so got a bit jumpy every time cheers or boo erupted all over the place.
The menu was extensive. Almost all the combination of maki, rolls, bento combo you could think of is here. They also had an extensive drink menu ranging from sake cocktail to many types of wine
We had beef enori roll, seafood salad, green dragon roll and lion roll. The food was done and presented well but I find the portion a bit on the smaller side for its pricing. Because it was a date, I didn't feel right to take photo with of the food.
The desserts, however, were huge. We had ice cream and a tempura ice cream. This was a huge ball of vanilla ice cream wrapped in sponge cake with a crispy tempura coating. We couldn't finish it.
Our server was also very professional and attentive.
Overall, I like this place. Besides the drinks and the dessert, it doesn't really stand out from other equally good Japanese restaurant but I think one comes here for a different vibe...
