| - Best word to describe this establishment is ~confusion~. Previously named Hockey Sushi with Cantonese-speaking staff that stopped by to chat a bit. Now named 88 sushi with a Mandarin speaking staff who mostly hide behind counters chatting amongst themselves but kind of awkwardly look your way to see whether you are suffocating or still alive and normally eating.
I think the staff and new owner here is still quite confused as to whether they are still Hockey or now 88. It feels like its a blend of both, tbh. They still use the old reward card, with a totally not noticeable (lol) sticker slapped on it, the same website, and on said website, and the same 2015-stamped 10% cash coupon they have totally neglected to update. Btw, they told me about my coupon being expired when I went like yesterday, and I tried explaining that I had used the coupon before. They seemed to not believe me, but my Mandarin-speaking friend explained it in Mandarin and maybe he was super charismatic or something but they were clearly convinced and suddenly my coupon related problems had been solved. That wasn't the first time they looked at my coupon in complete confusion, as if it was written in Latin or something.
Well, let's talk about food. Salmon, I noticed this time (in my salmon sushi) was very thinly sliced. So much that you had to eat 2 - 3 pieces of sushi to taste the salmon once. Well I was unhappy about that since I came to satisfy my deep craving for salmon, but honestly there's no place I could find cheaper and with better quality and I was already there so like any other human I just consumed more salmon sushi to compensate for the lack of salmon on each piece. Hopefully next time my salmon isn't transparent and actually has a bit of thickness so there's something to bite. Other foods eel sushi, tonkatsu, chicken teriyaki, chicken skewer (which looks and tastes like barbecued pork but it's chicken lol), chicken wings, miso soup, salads, and other stuff are all good. Meat is lean, flavor is strong, taste is good. BTW, do yourself a favour and don't eat the kimchi, it's super sour (unless you like that sort of thing).
Main reason I continue to come here because its cheap ($16 or $15 I forget, with a 10% off coupon, and with points you can redeem to get a free lunch or dinner) and excluding this time, the food is good and the salmon sushi is tasty (yes my life's major concern is salmon). If there were a cheaper or thicker-sliced-salmon place in the area, I would definitely go there, but there isn't, so I'm here. I don't want to sell this place short though, the food is really good. I'll continue to come back unless I just get fed up with thin salmon at sushi restaurants and decide to live in the ocean to eat salmon fully raw like a savage. That or if something better comes along.
