One of my rare downtown excursions turned out even better. Lunch with a new friend and trying out this restaurant that had been on my bucket list for some time. What a great first encounter.
Around the corner from the Shell Centre and in the building with TD Bank, this little restaurant gets busy very quickly. We were here less than 15 minutes and it was already half full!! You need reservations for a table.
The hosts are not as friendly as one would expect, hence the 1 star deduction though we were seated promptly. The server was pretty friendly and quick to take our order which was the sushi and sashimi (come with mushroom based miso soup and salad), kamikaze roll, and Alaska roll.
All the fish (salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, eel sashimi, etc.) were very fresh and the eel was uber delicieux! The Alaska roll was your typical California roll topped with smoked salmon (but still good). The kamikaze was very fresh with tuna and flakes on top of a roll. Both rolls were 8 pieces.
The food came out very quickly.
I will admit this place is priced higher than competing sushi restaurants in the area but it is a nice place and definitely for those people on a date or business venture.
Go after 1800 to save on parking (and to also be able to easily find parking) but do yourself a favour, get a reservation! If you are single or think your date might not be that good, get a window seat to people watch.
