| - I have nothing negative to say about this place. Sizable portions, good deals, high quality sushi, wonderful service, nice ambience, and the aesthetics are wow. You will not be disappointed.
It's a small-scale place so my boyfriend and I made reservations for Valentine's Day just in case, but when we got there, there were still a couple of empty spots. I looked around and the others had really nicely decorated sushi on wooden boats and platters which made me really excited to get our own. We ordered miso soup, seafood soup, shrimp shumai gyoza zensai(appetizer). I was really satisfied with the shrimp shumai gyoza but the seafood soup was too salty for me. Not a problem, I drank a lot of water(that was nice and didn't taste like tap water) and green tea. EVERYTHING looked delicious on the HI NA signature maki rolls menu but we ended up getting the sunshine, the spicy lobster, the Alaska, and the spicy crispy salmon. I was surprised when the huge wooden fish-shaped platter arrived, those were big portions.
This is no low-quality AYCE stuff. The rolls had a thin layer of rice and mostly ingredients. I don't know if the crabmeat was real but it sure tasted real. The salmon and caviar is top-grade sushi level. It turns out that since the portions were so big, 2 maki rolls for each of us was too much, so I decided to take home the 6 pieces left so that my little sister could try them. We had ice cream and once again, they decorated it wonderfully with chocolate sauce and MINIATURE FUNCTIONING TINY UMBRELLAS. Wow. Never seen those before in my life(maybe because I've never been to such a high-quality restaurant). They even put a cherry on top. So, I enjoyed my enhanced green tea ice cream and went to the washroom. When I came back, there was yet another surprise. The waitress gave me a small box of Hershey kisses and I thought oh my goodness can this place get any more perfect. She took good care of us throughout our stay, refilling our tea and making us feel comfortable. I had a wonderful experience, and would recommend this to any hardcore sushi lover. Honestly, this place was quite pricy for the amount that we had to order to get full, but for a special occasion it's unquestionably worth it.
