We came here the other night for a UYE and were really taken care of by the wait staff and chef. It was clear they aimed to impress and they did.
There was a selection of complimentary appetizers consisting of Spicy Tuna with Chips and a Sashimi Platter containing Salmon, Mackerel, Shrimp and Deep Fried Shrimp Heads.
Now I'm not a big fan of Tuna but the Spicy Tuna and Chips were fantastic and definitely an item I would order again. Plenty of textures and flavours going on in this dish!
The Sashimi Platter was beautifully displayed and the items were fresh and delicious... I even tried the Deep Fried Shrimp Head (had to stop at the eyeballs though).
They also had a Sashimi special for us... 3 pieces for $1.00. I can't say no to that so I promptly ordered 15 pieces! My husband and I also ordered the Corn & Kong Cheese from the menu page.
The Sashimi, although fresh, delicious and nicely cut was served a tad warmer than I would have preferred. But I'll take freshness over temperature any day.
The Corn & Kong consists basically of corn and edamame topped with cheese and baked. A unique dish. The corn and edamame were cooked perfectly however, I found the amount of cheese on this dish made it a little to rich and... almost 'heavy'.
There was also a Spicy Tuna Taco floating around that we were able to sample. Arugula, Baby Sprouts, EVOO and Sriracha Mayo (which is brilliant, I must say) wrapped in a seared Tortilla. Again with the Tuna... and again, I loved it!
My only disappointment is they don't have a dinner menu... that being said, I'm sure I would have no problem coming here to fill up on appetizers!
The atmosphere is great and I highly recommend booking the 'chef's table' upstairs if you're having a larger get-together.
