I feel as if its so rare that I can go somewhere and give them a 5 star review. Service and quality seems to be lacking these days and I'm sure places will start shutting down soon because of it, however Mikasa is NOT one of those places.
We tried some of their sushi creations at Fetes Gourmand in Laval in August so one night my husband and I wanted to go out. The sushi maker (I'm sure there is a much more technical term for him) recognized us so we sat at the sushi bar to chat a bit.
We ordered off the menu and then asked the sushi maker to go ahead and just make us a few rolls of whatever he recommends that I hadn't already ordered.
Everything we ate was to die for. The flavor combinations were just out of this world, the presentation of the food was beautiful, and the staff was friendly and attentive.
One of my favorite things that we had was something that was not on the menu, it was a salmon rose, in an oyster shell with rice, lobster, and a few other goodies that was torched (yes with a blow torch) for a nice burnt flavor... all the textures, flavors, and colors were just too incredible. I would go back just for that!
This place gets a 5 star review and they will see me again soon! :)
Oh and you know how sushi sucks the next day? Not Mikasa sushi, it still held up and tasted just as fresh as the night before.
