| - Popped into Konnichiwa on a Tuesday evening, and thankfully it wasn't overly busy. They have tables outside, and an equal amount of seating inside as well. I decided to eat inside. I arrived and I was immediately greeted and shown to a table. I ordered a green tea and some water and in no time those were placed in front of me. I decided to go with a Spicy Salmon roll, Calif. roll, and an avocado roll. Being my first visit, I like to see how they do with some very standard types of rolls.
I had decided to get some edamame as well to snack on, and those were served up hot in no time. The edamame was good, but the beans looked like they were either freezer burned or rejects. Most of them were not in good shape. Shortly there after came my rolls. The rolls were good, but I have one major complaint. Use the more expensive nori ! having chewy nori is just such a let down when you have good rolls. The rolls were good, fresh and flavourful, but again, when you have to try and tear apart the rolls with your teeth because the nori is chewy... ugh !
The place wasn't overly busy, but regardless the servers were very quick with refilling water and tea.
Overall, it's good food, but again they need to use better quality nori (IMO). Service was excellent and definitely brought the rating up from a 3 to a 4 star. Actually it's a solid 3.5 star place. Food was good, not fabulous, but good and service was very good. I'll go back and try some of the other dishes, the Katsu looked pretty good and smelled good as a few of those plates went past me.
