| - Really not the best.
As I live in the neighbourhood, I've passed this place many many times. I've always seen full tables and the ambiance is pretty nice. So I decided to try it last night with my boyfriend. We ordered a bunch of the usual: sashimi, maki, wonton soup, chicken ramen, etc.
To start off with the good: the sashimi was really good, it was fresh. I really liked the torched salmon, it had a nice toasted flavour. My boyfriend loved the spicy salmon. The service was fine, the plates arrived promptly. We were given a chilled bottle of water, which was nice.
We also ordered the tartar, which was served in a very bizarre way. Just a tiny scoop of fish in spicy mayo on top of a Pringle! A genuine Pringle. I should've taken a picture... my thoughts when they placed it on the table "Why?" We tried it and it was okay, nothing worth writing home about.
I've had many wonton soups in my time and this has got to be the worst. The wontons were horrible, when I bit into it, I was expecting a thin wonton wrapped filled with meat - nope. The dough was extremely thick and there was very limited meat. It felt like I had bit into a wet kleenex. BUT, the soup broth was really tasty, so I ordered another bowl of just the broth. Since, I was nursing a debilitating hangover, I also tried the chicken ramen... again not good. It was extremely salty, had very little broth.
Not to mention, it was pretty expensive at $27.99 per person on a Saturday night. All-in-all, I probably won't be returning, there are better ayce sushi places in Montreal.
