| - As I stated in my tip portion, I've been a rather loyal customer of this sushi place, considering its location is a less than 5 minutes walk from my house.
I've seen this place change its quality from going rather good, to rather bad, then back again. I think a change in management changed a few things, and currently, it is for the better. The place is busy during peaks hours, such as lunch on Tuesdays (20% off orders) and dinner times during the weekends, and it is relatively quiet during off peak times. So it is expected that service is slowed down by some amount. But even then, the hard working waitresses get the orders taken and the food is delivered promptly. On occasion they have to be asked or reminded, but they are polite about their mistakes, and even have gone so far as to not charge me for food or drinks I genuinely disliked (I had a Margarita with way too much salt).
The food has been kept at quite the edible flavour, although, like most places, there is always a bigger fish out there. I have kept coming back for their sushi, mainly the BBQ eel (hand roll, sushi, etc), and their salmon. While my personal preferences let me avoid certain menu items, like their pizza, I'm sure many would find it delectable given their selection. They've added a Chinese menu, which does leave something to be desired, so you're better off going to a Chinese focused restaurant for that.
In the end, my only real complaint is that this place could truly be a fantastic sushi place. It has a wonderful menu system using an iPad, and the decor looks just like something you might find along a busier street downtown. There are certainly far better sushi restaurants throughout the city that offers all you can eat, but given the neighbourhood and the price for this food, if you keep your options open, and with a little patience, you could find yourself having a rather enjoyable meal. I come here often, and I see myself coming here again and again.
One more thing. They've recently added a liquor license to their repetoire, and just as a fair warning, it's new. Order at your own expense, for now, but like everything in this restaurant, it will get better over time.
