| - Great value for the money!
This is a small, Korean-owned Japanese restaurant and it was our first time coming here! We were a bit concerned about the freshness of the sashimi when pulling into the square (it's located a small outdoor strip mall) but re-assured when we saw a decent number of families here on Labour Day.
We took our time ordering off the menu (they do not have lunch specials on "holidays" - this includes Stat Holidays) and I ordered the Bulgogi + Sushi + Tempura Bento set ($16.95 @ time of writing), while the rest of my family split the Small Sashimi Combo (can't remember how much this was) + a Fire Dragon Roll ($14.95) + Mixed Veggie + Shrimp Tempura ($6.95).
The food came out amazingly fast, and was very fresh! We were all served sides of salad, miso soup (with tofu, mushrooms, and seaweed), and noodle soup (with a clear broth and tempura bits sprinkled in) along with our meals.
The sushi that I had in my bento set was of adequate freshness (a bit smaller than I expected), but the tempura was lovely - not too greasy and very crisp (my bento also came with a side of japchae). The quantity of food was more than filling enough for me!
The sashimi combo was very fresh - an assortment of lightly seared white tuna, snapper, salmon, salmon belly, tuna, and even cooked octopus! The Fire Dragon roll was also outstanding - a very thin layer of rice of seaweed was used to hold the contents together, and the seared salmon + bonito flakes on the top lent the roll a nice smoky flavour.
This place is a little more expensive than your average asian joint, but well worth it for the quality!
