| - Situated in the Glenndale Shopping Centre in the middle of what seems to be nowhere for a guy like me who spends most of his time in the good ol' hood.
This place gets backed basically right at 615pm it seems, so either get your reservations made or show up a bit earlier to ensure you get yourself a table to eat at.
Stone Pot Rice Bowl has an assortment of Sushi, Rolls, Sashimi, Rice Bowls, Noodle Bowls and Soups. Enough variety in their menu to keep your flavour buds entertained!
The staff here are super friendly, they greet you as you walk in and make sure you are seated as quick as possible and my only gripe with this place is when it is a full house their service slows down quite a bit and they start forgetting things that need to be made to order, I don't blame them, I don't think they were prepared for such a packed house and will most likely learn from this nights experience.
Here's what we ate:
Kimchi Gyoza - I wasn't too impressed with this menu item because to me after having a kimchi grilled sandwich at Anju I expected it would be something similar via the dumpling wrap but it was just chopped pieces of I have no idea.
Beef Tataki Sashimi - I found this to be so delicious!! Sliced Rare Beef Tataki covered with chopped green onions, fried onions, lettuce and whatever delicious vinegrette sauce thing they used. YumYUM YUM! I feel like I need five plates of that (we did have two though.)
Spicy Chicken Bowl - If you like spice you'll LOVE this rice bowl because the tangy spicy sauce they use definitely has a KICK so order this bowl and grab yourself a glass of water and ENJOY because this bowl was just freakin delicious!
Dynamite Roll - Prawn Tempura, Avocado, Cucumber & Smelt Roe (Masago) + additional Salmon. Delicious as usual there wasn't anything to complain about with this roll.
Crazy Buster - Salmon Spring Roll wrapped with fresh Tuna, Salmon served with Spicy Sauce, Green Onion and Garlic Chip. Seriously my favorite roll it was so delicious, had a nice crunch factor to it and you can't just have one.
Power of Love Roll - Crab and Avocado roll wrapped with Unagi served with Unagi sauce and Wasabi Creamy sauce and Tobiko. My second favorite roll it was light, bit sweeter and I thought the ingredients all balanced each other out. YUM!
Alaska Roll - Smoked salmon, crab & avocado rolled with Rice and Seaweed. Also an enjoyable roll although I really wish they added the Philly Cheese to it to make it incredible.
California Roll - Crab & Avocado rolled with Rice and Seaweed. My least favorite roll of the five we chose to taste tonight only because the California roll is like the introduction to Sushi. Not much taste to it but still edible and enjoyable nonetheless.
I wish this place was closer to home because I would probably go there more often but being where it is in the middle of nowhere (for me) I'll only be by every once in awhile. Definitely check this place out if you want to try some great Japanese food!
