| - We came for sushi, and it was disappointing. I'm from Vancouver, and so I keep dreaming of finding the kinds of cheap, tasty sushi deals I know about out there. But this wasn't it (being an optimist, I intend to keep looking and will post here if I find such a place!).
We both ordered off the lunch special menu ($5.99)--the california roll and spicy tuna roll combo. The california roll was okay--adequate, but nothing special (and I've had many cali rolls through the years, in Vancouver *and* Toronto!).
The spicy tuna roll was about the worst I've ever had (it's usually one of my faves)--not spicy, and the tuna tasted odd, as if it had been placed beside something and been contaminated with the flavour of the other item... or something. It tasted wrong. Since raw fish was involved, after the first piece, I decided not to take any risks and set aside the rest. So did my companion.
Now *this* is the positive part (i.e. why I gave them three stars instead of two)--where I expected a "too bad" kind of attitude, because it was a lunch special, the server actually conveyed our disappointment to management (I had been debating about whether to complain or not, but then the server stopped by to ask how our meals were going and so we told her that we weren't going to have our tuna rolls because they tasted odd). We were able to substitute the tuna rolls for the yam avocado rolls, which were pretty good.
I should say that looking around at the bento boxes that were being served to many other people there, they looked really good! Generous quantities and people seemed to be devouring them pretty enthusiastically. So perhaps if I were forced come again, for whatever reason, I'd have one of those instead.
