| - After seeing the strong reviews, I was anxious to try out a spot not far from home. Glad I did. First, as observed by others, the people here are really, really nice. If you can buy something from nice people, all the better!
The menu looked really short and at first I was quite disappointed. It looked like every roll was based on creamy crab. Then I asked if this or that was available and they pointed it out in the more low-key and shorthand areas of the menu. I get the sense that they would make anything for you as long as they had the ingredients.
I had: Albacore sashimi, spicy tuna roll, Roncesvalles roll, unagi fire roll, mixed sashimi and one other crabby roll. Sashimi is the measure of a sushi restaurant and texture is crucial. All to often the texture is right-from-the-freezer mushy, even ice-crystally sometimes. Not here. If they froze this fish (as many do to kill parasites), I could not tell. All of the sashimi tasted great in flavour and texture.
The rolls were seasoned just right. The Roncy roll was really tasty. Unagi fire was a win, as was the spicy tuna.
Not a single thing was wrong with this meal. Oh, they didn't pack much wasabi in. There you go.
