  • I'm not sure I have a whole lot to say about this place, I was sort of down on the concept of an omakase consisting of entirely aburi sushi and the price I figured was too good to be true for something that was going to excite my palate. The food was fine with hints of something good but mostly misses to middle-of-the-pack dishes. My opinions are that I have had better aburi sushi else where (Miku for example) and even more have had better omakases that featured some but not entirely of aburi sushi. The gimmick of Aburi House is their use of charcoal wood to torch their sushi. I think the smokiness definitely comes through but it didn't really save any of the pieces in my opinion. Anyways we got the premium set (which is what I'm sticking to naming it because as my partner and I discussed omakase is leave it to the chef, and often feature the freshest catch or a catered chef selection experience, which this cannot ever be because of the set item and menu style). There were just three really big issues for me: the level of saltiness to one to the pieces, the sweetness in another, and the weird combination in another that gave me the feel of like a canned smoke oyster but much much milder. Rice was mushy but also didn't really hold up except for the ones they had pressed more rectangularly. The hand rolls were equally problematic as I had looked forward to the crab one and it under delivered. It had a salty fishy taste and did not have any of the slightly sweet taste that crab meat should have. Honestly it was quite difficult to get down, had t not been for my resolve to not waste food. The service was neglectful as they put our group in a back room alcove where the washrooms and staff only room was next too. There was a wall of mirrors reminiscent of a bridal dress shop. The decor was plain and minimalistic except for the wall of mirrors. One of our dining companions got the aburi platter and seemed to enjoy himself so I'm inclined to think that you need to pay for flavour. I don't want to just shit on this restaurant. Their concept being broken as a omakase to-go (shivers). I get the approachability but Just NO!! The fish here is good to really good quality and the tai (snapper sushi non-aburi style) I ordered to cheer myself up at the end of the meal was a real highlight. This was the thing that was the saving grace and if you have more money come and try their a la carte for what I would imagine is their best experience. Do not get omakase to go you or you will be disappointed. Unless you've never had it before start here and your experiences can only go up after you go have REAL omakase.
