| - This is an authentic Japanese restaurant in Markham! As with most authentic Japanese sushi restaurants, it is a bit pricy and service is a bit slow. They also have tapas dishes like an izakaya, however this place has more of a traditional restaurant feel to it.
We tried the following dishes:
Gomaae ($5) - their Gomaee is marinated pretty well with sesame, peanut, and soy, however it came out ice cold. There was actually ice bits in it - It must've been stored in the back of a cold fridge! That being said, since it was near frozen and premade, it took over 15 minutes to come to the table.
Gyoza ($7.50) - Althought expensive, the gyozas are good. Fried just right so the skin is crispy, and the meat stuffing was marinated well.
Nasudengaku ($8) - This fried eggplant dish is highly recommended - I don't think I've had it better at any other izakayas! The miso sauce was light and the eggplant was cooked through with great texture, just the way I like it!
Ika Sugatayaki ($10) - This is grilled calamari. The portion is large compared to the other tapas dishes. However, was a bit dry
Sauteed Scallops & Asparagus ($9.50) - This dish was a supreme disappointment. Stay away from this one! The scallops were very mushy and overly cooked in butter. Usually don't say this, but there was too much butter. But the quality of the scallops was very bad and the dish was small, although I wouldn't want to eat more.
Udon Tempura ($17.50) - This is from the lunch menu. As a tip, you can order noodles from the lunch menu, just add $3 to the price for each. The udon was typical, nothing special. The tempura however was really, really good! Two shrimp tempura were melt in your mouth. Also came with a pumpkin tempura, eggplant tempura, and broccoli tempura.
Rolls (Spider Roll: $10 - 6 pieces) (California Roll: $7.50/6 pieces) (Dynamite Roll: $8.50/5 pieces) - The rolls here are excellent! It must be the sushi rice, as it is sweeter and lighter than the rice used at your typical Korean/Chinese run sushi restaurant. You can really taste a difference! Also, must be a different brand/quality of seaweed paper.
When at full capacity, the two waitresses here can't keep up. The service was very very slow. However, despite the slow service, I will come back. The dishes that were good were really good. I'll know what to steer clear of next time. By the way, green Tea is free here.
