| - We were invited to tShigatsu last night by some friends of ours who just moved into the neighbourhood, we were 4 adults and 4 children. I think I've discovered my new favourite sushi restaurant. The menu was excellent. We were given a little bite of fish to get our taste buds rolling before we ordered. My friend really want to drink wine and since we didn't love the selection they had in the restaurant we were encouraged to go next door and purchase a bottle of our choice at the wine store. We were charged $5 per person for corkage which was really reasonable.
The decor is lovely and the staff was really kind and attentive. We ordered a bunch of food for the kids to get them going. They had age-dashi tofu ($6), gyoza ($7), calamari ($10), yam fries ($9), cucumber rolls ($3.5), and chicken naban ($10). The kids gobbled it all up.
The adults ordered assorted tempura ($11), salmon and tuna sushi ($2/piece), Tuna sashimi (spice sauce on the side) ($13), general roll ($11), dynamite roll ($6), spicy tuna roll ($5.5), and 2 goma-ae ($5). The highlight for me was the goma-ae, I love this dish and I usually have a hard time finding it in sushi restaurants. The sesame sauce/spinach salad was so good I'll be craving it daily until I have it again.
They service was so good they surprised us with a desert plate, it had a deconstructed, very simple tiramisu, panna cotta pudding, and a delicate pastry (I will attach a photo). Again this extra attention to detail was really well received and appreciated.
Overall the food and service was excellent. The food was really well plated and presented. If I knew before hand how much I was going to enjoy this restaurant I would have taken more photos of the food. I fear they will be getting a lot busier as the food is so delicious.
