| - My parents love this place. The Chef and the quality are amazing. The service is great if George is your server, but if not... lol - I hope you have some patience.
We made a reservation and finally got to sit in the VIP Lounge. They walked us over and rang the doorbell. It only seats 4 tables. It's more quiet and less crowded.
Unfortunately George was not our server tonight, so I'm docking a star cause the service definitely needs some work. He was fine with ordering and such, but the extra stuff isn't good.
There was one guy serving in this lounge, while a girl was behind the bar helping with food related things, and our table was the only new one. He had to be prompted to place down plates and chopsticks (even though he put down seaweed to an empty table), as well as clear some plates and fill drinks.
The Chef Special Sashimi Plate never disappoints. My favourites are the Hamachi, Scallops, Crab and Shrimp. The uni wasn't featured today due to quality! Our server let us replace it with Hamachi Belly instead, but they ran out by the time our order was being prepared.
Spicy Tuna Handroll isn't as good as the Spicy Salmon Handroll! The Salmon is also $0.50 more - probably better quality?
Beef Tataki is always great as well. Make sure to add the garnishes (carrot/radish) into the sauce - for a full explosion of taste!
Tomago Sushi is my moms favourite! It's a must order.. no place else will compare - unless you go to Japan yourself!
Grilled Salmon (the one with the longer name) was pretty fatty - very soft though.
Grilled Octopus was paired with ginger. It wasn't that special, in my opinion.
Banana Tempura Sundae is not on the menu, but it's my absolute favourite! If you ask nicely, they'll make it happen for you.
Green Tea Mochi - if you're not absolutely craving, save your $4 and go to TnT to grab a box (I saw them unload the mochi from a box)!
