| - When you first walk in you will notice that it's quite tiny, and if the place actually gets really popular I am a little worried about the massive chaos they may have to deal with, and given my experience at Square Fish, I have a feeling it's gonna blow up when the weather warms up.
It is a modernized semi-sushi restaurant that's following the current trend of healthy food options with style. Their sushi comes in squares, they offer donut sushis - which are essentially large sushi burgers with a hole in the centre, sushi burritos and sushi bowls. I've tried a number of things from the menu and while I would not recommend the kimchi beef (it's raw beef, and too mushy for my liking with not enough flavour, imo would be better with seared beef), everything else is amazing. Highly recommend the torched salmon sushi and their spicy salmon sushi burrito or bowl.
The one thing that surprised me was how much I enjoyed their sushi bowls. I haven't really caught on to the current poke bowl craze (I just find the texture to be too mushy, and eventually get sick of eating the same taste and texture about halfway through), the sushi bowls are somewhat different, they include a wider variety of ingredients and textures in their bowls so that you're almost tasting and feeling different things in your mouth with each bite. If you find yourself not really liking poke bowls, I would still give their sushi bowls a try.
Their portions are also HUGE and prices are actually quite cheap. I thought they gave me the wrong order when they presented me with a half-portion of the sushi burrito, but I realized that the half-portion just looks like a full portion. They are massive. I also have no idea what kind of a monster can finish the full sized portion of their bowls, but you can always save some for later. You're essentially paying around $15 for the full bowl for what could be two meals.
Even though the place seems simple from the outside, a lot of care is put into the creation of each dish from not only the taste but also from a visual perspective. The service is also very friendly, and so far quick as there hasn't been a lot of customers when I was there. I highly recommend anyone to try it out before everyone else starts to crowd this place. I'm a big fan, and I'm sure you will be too.
