-- My First Impression --
Originally, I was going to Le Modern Japanese Cuisine. For some reason, the GPS led us to the middle of an industrial area. We changed our minds and went to Mi Ne Japanese Restaurant. When I walked into the restaurant, it was very stuffy and it seemed like there was no air conditioner in the store. Given it was 35 degrees today, I felt like I was in an oven and actually had trouble breathing. I didn't have a huge appetite to eat.
-- Food and Drink --
We ordered 2 rolls:
1. (SM16) Green Dragon Roll (9 pieces) $15
- I don't get to eat at Japanese restaurants a lot because my husband only eats California rolls. Finally, he opened himself up and was willing to try "new" rolls. When I saw the rolls, I noticed Mi Ne's green dragon rolls were huge! Mi Ne used 1/4 of avocado as the decor for green dragon roll and they were generous on the quantity of avocado. I love how their rolls don't break apart when we pick them up, especially when the rolls are gigantic. The avocado melted inside my mouth! The shrimp tempura was quite crunchy too! Tastes so good!
2. (SM5) Orangeville Roll (9 Pieces) $16
- This spicy scallop roll was so delicious! The roll's portion was 1 salmon: 1 rice: 1 avocado, 1 cucumber and 3 spicy scallop and tobiko mixture. For some reason, I found their spicy scallop and tobiko mixture tasted like mentaiko! This is definitely a must-order roll at Mi Ne!
-- Overall --
I love their rolls even though their sushi rolls are quite pricey. For food, I would give them a 5 star. Less 1 star for the poor ventilation and less 1 star for the inattentive service. I would come back after they fix their air conditioner.
