| - Closer to 3.5 stars.
Staff was friendly. Service was good. Food came out at a good time.
Rolls were bigger than average. Wide selection and very detailed menu providing you information on what's inside and outside of the roll (which I like).
Ordered veggie tempura appetizer and two rolls to share between two people. Decently filling as the rolls were big but came to $26 each so a little pricier.
Veggie tempura - batter was fresh and light. Crispy outside with flavourful vegetables inside. Zucchini wasn't oily. Yam and kabocha were fried well that the veggie spoke for itself. Also came with mushroom, asparagus, onion ring, and broccoli.
Dancing eel roll - this one was a bit bland for my liking but it might have been because the made it wrong. The roll should've been unagi and salmon inside, but they gave us a California roll with unagi instead. That being said, the roll could've had more eel inside and a bit more sauce, but the roll itself was good with fresh ingredients. For their mistake they did give us 3 slices of salmon sashimi to make up for it free of charge.
Osaka spicy scallop roll - don't really remember what this roll was called but it had spicy scallop on top and inside is a California roll with shrimp tempura. Again although the roll was well rolled and flavourful with the big chunk of avocado, the sauce on top was lacking and it was more bland that I would've enjoyed. Nonetheless the scallop was sweet but didn't really add much flavour to the roll overall.
I find that wish sushi places it can be a hit or miss with the rolls, but the tempura was so well fried and seasoned that I believe the flavours of the rolls can be better depending on the actual roll. Nonetheless, rice was perfectly cooked and didn't overpower the rest of the roll, but maybe a tad bit much of cucumber and avocado, would benefit if more of the other ingredients (shrimp tempura or salmon etc) especially when paying that price.
