| - Compared to the Japanese restaurants I've been to in downtown, this place is really nothing special. Really just your average sushi place. But compared to what's around in midtown, it's a little better. But not the best.
The $55 sashimi platter was ok. Normal types of fishes but they were fresh, so that's a plus.
The cooked foods we ordered was horrible. Enoki buttered mushrooms, I could make at home better. It was soggy and all they did was soaked it in butter. Their buttered scallops had a weird coating starchy taste to it. Last but not least, the fried oysters was just as it sounds, fried, and that's about it. Basically, there was no thought put into the cooked dishes I ordered and they were indeed overpriced for that reason.
This place is really not the best for "traditional" Japanese sushi. And it's slightly overprice for the location.
I don't mind a restaurant being small, but definitely it was poorly cheaply decorated and quite uncomfortable to sit in with the setting of the tables. I thought they had undergone renos? The chairs were still old and grimy, as with the tables. I guess they only did the pink hello kitty bathrooms downstairs?
Really, I don't get the hype for this place.
