I was introduced to this restaurant by my brother and his girlfriend. Seeing as how his gf lives walking distance away from it, so they go here quite often. Sure, it may not be an "Authentic" Japanese restaurant. But I don't think it even states that it is. If authentic is what you're aiming for, there are other places to check out. And the decor may not be appealing, but what makes us come back here are the food and friendly service (Amy, the lead waitress knows us by name and engages in a conversation with us every time). We come here for their unique take on sushi rolls, which they have a wide variety to choose from. I suggest looking on the white board to see the specials they have for the day. I get a different sushi roll every time I come here, so I can't really recommend some. I suggest trying any of them, whichever suits you and surely it'll be good. The sauce that accompanies it is tasty and adds a different flavour to sushi. When I feel like having a variety of items, I go for the beef teriyaki Bento Box. I ask for the beef to be cooked rare and they gladly did so (It's served rare too!) The salad dressing that comes with the salad is outstanding. I asked what it was one time and they said it's homemade. It's their own version of Thousand Island dressing.
What's stopping me from giving this restaurant the full 5 stars, is one small issue. There was one time I had to use the restroom and I felt uncomfortable. As soon as you open the door leading to the washroom, there's a dark hallway, which isn't even lit and on your left is the washroom and the door could barely close. That was the first and last time I ever used their restroom.
Other than that, this place is fantastic and highly recommend it.
