| - So, I'm here visiting a friend in Ajax and he suggests that we try this new Japanese restaurant near his house. So tonight we go in, and OMG! It's got an all-you-can-eat option. The last time I had all-you-can-eat sushi was back in NYC when I didn't know what good sushi tasted like. So, with apprehension we enter the restaurant. I was surprised at how elegant the decor was; beautiful white, green and cream colors with dark wood furniture and accents. Slate floors and comfortable white leather chairs. If I didn't live thousands of miles away I would steal these lovely chairs. Okay but let's get to the food.
We did decide to go with the all-you-can-eat option. We ordered a ton of food. Miso soup, crunchy green salad with a tasty dressing (really you should try this dressing at least once). Veggie tempura was good and not over battered. selection was good and you could just order the items you like. We liked them all. California roll and Rainbow roll were good - not great, but decent. Beef short ribs were great, tender and not too fatty. We also ordered the sushi pizza. I was more curious than scared, but we opted for a veggie one, to be safe. It was delicious. It came on a fried rice patty, like a hash brown but with rice, a spicy sriracha sauce on the rice and a mix of yummy veggies and topped with creamy avocado. If we didn't already order too much food, I'd have gotten a second one. Then we had sashimi! We ordered a bunch of pieces, some butter fish, white fish (both were good) some squid (so much better than we thought - we'd never had this before and it was rich and creamy, not chewy at all) and a ton of salmon. The pieces were SO generously cut. I would recommend ordering less so that you don't get too full too soon. The wait staff was nice and quick with our order. I was a little nervous seeing so much food on the table but we managed to eat it all and had a little bit of room left for ice cream. This is a great place and has tons of cooked food options for friends not interested in sushi. Next time time I'm here, I'll be back.
