| - Super cute small little restaurant! My companion and I wanted to try everything on the menu. We ordered: hakozushi set with treasure roll, beef tartar, ebi tempura, chicken karage, aburi salmon sushi, scallop volcano. As for skewers, we tried: chicken cartilages, beef shoulder, ribeye, pork neck, pork belly, and scallop. They were having a 20% promo, pricey came up to be approx. $80 after discount.
Hakozushi set: I've been seeing pictures all over Instagram of these cute square sushi sets. It looked great but tasted average. (And now I understand why normal sushi isn't square shaped, it was so difficult to pick it with chopsticks and fit it in my mouth. Or it could just be that I suck at using chopsticks.) Treasure roll was quite tasty though.
Beef tartar: Too chewy for my liking. Unfortunately, below my expectations. Would not recommend.
Ebi tempura: Above average. Very fresh.
Chicken karage: Average. Pretty good. Also very fresh.
Aburi salmon sushi: Definitely the highlight of my meal. One of the best aburi salmon I have ever had in Toronto. There was a cream sauce topping that just made it taste so much better. This is a must try!
Scallop volcano: Oven baked roll with some sort of cream sauce with mushroom and scallop on top. Very good. Would recommend.
Skewers: The ribeye was the best skewer I have ever had. Totally worth $6. It just melted in my mouth. The beef shoulder was also worth mentioning, it was very flavourful and the meat was well cooked. The scallop was also very good. It was a bit dry but still very delicious.
Service was great. We felt a little bit rushed when the waitress came around 3 times to take our order when we weren't ready yet, but I don't blame her, we took our time. The waitress also took our coats to coat check which was great. Overall, I would recommend this place. The place was pretty empty for Sunday night, but I would still recommend booking in advance.
