After the rave reviews I expected a veritable palace of sushi heaven and was surprised to find this location in a nondescript strip mall in Vaughan. It was after 2 and the location was almost empty. It is a decent-sized space but the lighting made it dismal. The server motioned me toward a booth, gave me the tablet ordering system and I went to town.
One thing I noticed immediately is that the portions are more generous than other sushi places' AYCE offerings. The Out of Control Roll was especially giant. Their selection of rolls was quite creative and all were well-constructed. It really turned out to be some of the better sushi I've had in the area.
The service was adequately prompt but a bit expressionless and carried the air that they wish they were anywhere but there. Not that I expect ecstatic shrieks and back rubs when I arrive somewhere, but it would be nice to see a smile, perhaps a cheerful hello, anything but the soulless eyes of the walking dead. That coupled with the dingy, underlit interior made me in perhaps more of a hurry to escape than I'd have otherwise been.
