Came here twice now and tried different items so here is an overall recap of my experience:
First impression of the place was a big thumbs up. The decor is beautiful - I love the marble slab behind the sushi bar. The staff is very friendly and greeted us with a warm welcome. Both times I chose to eat at the sushi bar in order to watch the chef prepare our meals.
Food-wise, I tried several things including their signature set meal (be prepared to spend some $$$ for that omakase experience foodies!). Here are some of the most memorable dishes:
- Foie Gras Sushi:: It's a no brainer that this would catch your attention - regardless if whether or not you are a fan of the fatty delicacy. The chef torches the protein first before he serves it to you and the process is gorgeous & mouthwatering. Rich in flavour and texture, it is a dish I recommend you try for yourself.
- Marinated Salmon Sushi:: A flavourful dish to be sure. A tad too salty for my taste but it definitely made my taste buds happy :)
- Toshi Course:: while the price may give you a start, believe me when I say I feel that it was worth it. Chef's choice of fresh sashimis and sushis is a must and those were definitely well chosen pieces of fish being served to us. One of the courses includes unagi wrapped in tofu wrapped in seaweed and deep fried, served with unagi sauce -- this was incredibly delicious. Plated to impress, each course was a treat for the eyes and mouth alike. I walked away with a very full belly and a smile on my face :)
Why not 5 stars? I feel like there is still room for improvement on the quality of the dishes. Then again, this is a new business and so I look forward to coming back again to try more dishes prepared by their chef.
