| - Immediately I was kindly greeted by a Japanese waitress and we were seated in comfy chairs. The decor was quite nice compared to the neighbouring sushi places, and although the restaurant could've been better lit, the lux lighting on the wall was a nice touch and I felt very comfortable and relaxed. Now on to the food (Sorry, no pictures):
The menu was nothing I've ever seen before in terms of item selection for an all-you-can-eat sushi place. So, we ordered beef galbi short ribs, beef tataki (thin raw beef in vinegar), baked mussels (thousand island dressing + mayo), avocado salad, seaweed salad, mussel soup, salmon, surf crab, mackerel and snapper sashimi, yakitori (chicken skewers), chicken karaage, and spicy tuna roll on our first order. I was surprised to see that the roll had a thin layer of rice and a fairly generous amount of fish. All the portions were generous, clean tasting, fresh and yummy. The galbi short ribs were, by far, the best dish we ordered. The meat was juicy, fatty and made us crave for more. And so we did. The sashimi was beautifully plated and looked delicious, and oh, did I mention it tasted great, too? The dessert had a nice selection of creme brule, deep fried banana, red bean ice cream, mango pudding, mango ice cream and more (regrettably, we didn't order the green tea ice cream). We basically ordered it all and they were all delectable.
After gaining 5 pounds in one sitting, I didn't feel tired nor hated myself for enduring such a gluttonous feast. In fact, we went for more galbi ribs and salmon sashimi after the dessert because we caught a second wind, or it was just that damn good (or we're fatasses trying to get our money's worth). Overall, the service was excellent; our cups were always filled with water and the food came out fast and fresh. The servers were genuinely kind and frequently smiled at us :)
For $21.95, you simply can't beat the price for the quality and the selection of dishes you can order. I'd definitely come back here again if there weren't a million other restaurants to try out in Toronto during my limited stay here.
Thanks for reading my review,
