The layout is nice, clean, and spacious. The service is friendly and attentive, even taking the time to help my friend's young son. In fact, I would say the service was the highlight of he visit. Now for the food:
The strength here would be the cooked foods. Not to say that the sushi is bad, I've just had better; and yes in Newmarket. The tempura had a lovely batter that was light and crispy without being greasy. The soft shell crab didn't have much of a crab flavour but it still managed to taste fresh if that makes any sense. Tuna and beef tataki were very tasty: nice and cool inside and a good sear on the outside. The hamachi collar wasn't totally cooked through and when we pointed it out, they were extremely apologetic. We ordered one of the large platters of sushi and sashimi which came with a good assortment of fish. For the most part it was your standard pieces of fish but there was a torched something in the mix that was outstanding and I could have eaten my weight in it.
