I call it a super-sized handheld sushi-burrito SALAD.
Customizable rolls in either a bowl or a burrito. With the bowl, you have an option of brown rice, but of course, I was here for the roll. Open at 11AM, there's already lines forming at 11:30AM, but the wait is not too long (...if you are the fourth person in line).
Ask for a roll and a sheet is laid into a machine, then out it comes out with a perfectly distributed layer of rice. Impressive.
A true quick-serve style, as they go along a line to jam pack your roll with the goodies your want. I made an order up of two, and they were both very similiar in ingredients, but a drastic difference in taste:
Salmon | Green Lettuce | Red Onion | Avocado | Seaweed Salad | Tamago | Lotus Chip
Sauce: Wasabi Mayo
Salmon | Green Lettuce | Cucumber | Avocado | Kani Salad | Tamago | Lotus Chip
Sauce: Wasabi Mayo
Very surprisingly, the red onion one was a pleasure (the first). The sweet texture of the seaweed, combined with the soft avocado + salmon and crunch of red onion was glorious. The lettuce, I could definitely do without. But, I'm talking generosity as each topping was measured to give you your true money's worth. With each roll the fellas were wrapping up, it was a wonder that they finally got it all in without breaking it!
My favourite part of these customizable rolls were the "crunch" options. I got fried lotus root and they were phenomenal.
The rolls were $14.99 each, but honestly, it's much better to share and try a side as well. After half and literally one bite, I felt way too full. I thought the price was great for the serving and overload of fresh ingredients. Welcome to Dundas West!
TL;DR: If you're going in, def. try my combination listed great texture and flavour which compliment eachother well - really serves up what rolltation is all about. All that's off for me is the price point... But that can totally be justified by the fresh ingredients.
