For the life of me I can't figure out why this place doesn't have higher ratings! I've had sushi all over the world and this place is one of the best! I wanted to lick most of my plates!
Location: Perfect! Right on King st. I took the trolley car and it was super easy! not sure about parking if you drive. It's the middle of downtown so I can't imagine it would be easy.
Service: Very appropriate. We went on a Saturday night around 6 (which I know is early) but even when we were leaving around 8, it wasn't like we weren't getting attention from the servers. And, our server came around pretty frequently, to clear plates and pour us more sake. But it wasn't in an annoying way where she was interrupting all the time.
Food: Like I said, I wanted to lick my plates! Is the food expensive? Yes! But good sushi is! You should expect to spend a pretty penny. If you're not prepared to, then go somewhere else.
Here is what we got...
Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - This started in Los Angeles (where I live) and I've had it at countless places. This one is the best! I love that they crisp the rice perfectly. Their spicy tuna is also so perfectly creamy!
jalapeƱo hamachi - I just wish I had more! The sauce was so good we saved it to dip our other dishes in
spicy tuna with rock shrimp - While it was good, it wasn't anything fantastic or fancy. But I'm glad we got it because it was a good mouthful.
lobster + shrimp shumai - this is small (three spoons with the yumminess in it), but really good. I needed some more salt on it, but I'm learning americans just like more salt on things than Canadians.
arroz con setas - perfect ending! really flavorful (didn't need salt on this one)
I think there was more, but I can't remember
Drinks: by far the best thing here was the drink we had! caribou crossing. It was so yummy!
