| - We got here walking down Dundas looking for food at 8pm on a weekday, it was an occasion but we weren't too picky knowing we didn't have a reservation. Passing by we saw just a few tables and were skeptical at first, but the Yelp reviews assured me it won't be too bad, so we stepped in. Promptly greeted and seated, the restaurant was quiet and very spacious. Very modern with darker décor for an intimate atmosphere, there's spotlights along the side to focus on the chefs and the bar, making it look quiet cool.
The menu is pretty simple - sushi and sashimi à la carte, some hot food items from the kitchen, a decent variety of drinks. They also have dinner sets that come with miso soup and salad starters. We went with the sashimi dinner, beef teriyaki dinner, and a dynamite roll. They made a mistake putting in the order, but were prompt in resolving right away! Service was timely and nice, which was appreciated.
The sashimi dinner comes with 12 pieces of sashimi and a bowl of rice, featuring the usual variety of common sashimi. Everything was nicely presented and was pretty good, though nothing was outstanding. The beef teriyaki was not bad, also nothing special. Everything was nicely and cleanly presented which I really appreciated.
The highlight came at dessert - we got the green tea crème brûlée and ginger ice cream. The oval dish that the crème brûlée came in was deceptively deep, and the cream was very smooth. There was enough caramelized sugar for a good crunchy top and the green tea flavour was evident yet not too strong. The ginger ice cream came with a sesame snap to add some crunch and was very nice and refreshing. The portion was good for the price, and I was glad to get a ginger ice cream well done at a restaurant! A great way to end the meal.
