| - I saw someone on my Facebook come here and realized how close it was to my parents place so I went with my mom to give it a try.
The decor was nice , restaurant was quite small (I think their space use to be a Popeyes). I heard it's authentic Japanese food, so was expecting quite the tastebuds. I didn't get that much out of the tastebuds (just look at the pictures) but my wallet sure did.
I ended up paying $90 for 2 people (called 2 dinner sets $20 each, 9 pieces of salmon sashimi for a whopping $30, plus tax and tips). I will admit, I am at fault in a way as I haven't looked at the price of the salmon sashimi (aka "Sake") but having been to other Japanese restaurants, I honest to God didn't think it cost me an arm and a leg after I put in the order. The dinner set was a good deal as it came with rice, soup and salad. However, they really should reprice their menu.
$30 for 9 pieces of small salmon sashimi ?!! I pay literally $30cash at Seoul Banchan for 55 pieces and its fresher than a baby's butt. AND I'm full and I can feed at least 4 people with it.
I'm sorry but this isn't a downtown location , they are located beside a Tim Hortons and close to a FreshCo, it makes no sense to charge this much, authentic or not, that's not even important. I'm still in shock of how expensive it was, no Japanese restaurant in Richmond Hill have I been to charges this kind of price.
Parking: Easy
Price: overpriced sashimi, dinner set was okay, nothing you can't get at other restaurants though.
Service: Good
Clean: Yes
Would go again?: No. I'll stick with my favourite sushi take out place instead. Seriously, go order from Seoul Banchan and you will know exactly what I mean and why I felt the way I did with this restaurant.
