| - Came here with my family for a milestone celebration after passing my professional exams. I have to say I am very happy with the visit.
We came here on a Sunday evening, thankfully with reservations since the restaurant was booming with hungry Asians. Upon being seated, we were given a plate of Uni Sashimi (Sea Urchin Roe) as a "reward" for making a reservation. The Uni was fresh and the buttery texture melted instantly in our mouths. I recommend making a reservation before coming so you can enjoy a free sample of Uni as well.
I'm not going to list the foods we tried since we practically ordered the entire menu, but I will comment on some notable and less notable dishes.
To try:
Sashimi - all fresh, tender and sizeably cut. No complaints here.
Maki - Average, however the variety of Maki choices available makes them worth mentioning. Try the chef's recommendations. Not entirely made out of rice, but they could be more generous with the meat and vegetables.
Dessert - Try them all if you still have room after your mains. Mango yogurt is always a hit and their ginger milk is interesting (tastes like sweet tofu dessert with a hint of ginger). Crème Brule is what you expect at an AYCE, the flavours are there but the texture was more liquidity than preferred. I didn't try the durian mousse, but my sister in law who is a big fan of durian said the mousse was light and tasty. My 1 year old niece seemed to like the durian mousse too.
Sake - Since this was a celebration dinner, we tried the warm sake the restaurant carried and we really liked it. I usually find the taste of sake to be too strong but this one was good, the taste of alcohol wasn't too overpowering.
To avoid:
Steak - Steak of any sort, whether it be beef steak or salmon steak pieces, all were overcooked and dry.
One other note worthy mention is the service at this restaurant. We frequent at many AYCE sushi restaurants and I will have to give this one 9.5/10 for service. There were lots of available staff on hand to take orders and make water refills. They were very accommodating when I asked for a seating area that would be good for a baby - we were placed in an area where there was less foot traffic. Food came out incredibly fast, so fast that I had to start distributing food to my family members in order to reduce the number of plates on the table. Only weakness preventing them from a perfect score were some of our lost orders. We had to put in an order of beef ramen three times before it arrived at the end of our meal.
Overall ratings:
Food - 8.5/10 for an AYCE
Atmosphere: 9/10 crowded as with any asian restaurant in Markham
Service: 9.5/10, see comments above
Price: $25 for an adult on a weekend
Would definitely go back.
