| - Wow, this place is awesome. I don't mind when a restaurant moves away from authenticity if they do it in such a creative (and delicious) way, as Sushi 67 does. First things first - it's a tiny place. Probably no more than 10 people could fit in the whole restaurant comfortably. We were a group of 4, and luckily no one else was eating in, although we saw many come and go for take out orders. Despite it's size and the fact that not a lot of their customers seem to eat in, they have spent some time on the décor. It's not tacky nor is it plain as you might expect; it's nicely done. The service is also incredibly friendly, and very gracious when receiving our many compliments.
We started off by ordering the Manhattan Bridge Roll (my favourite of the evening, absolutely delish), the White Vietnam Roll (very good also, very fresh tasting), and more typical spicy salmon rolls and red tuna sushi. We downed these pretty quickly and found ourselves wanting more, so we ordered the Dynamite Rolls and the Scallop Pot Pie. We were told that the pot pie would take a while to cook, but we were fine to wait. This is where service was great - they gave us free miso soup to apologize for the wait, even though we had said we were fine with it! Great! Sure, miso is often included at sushi restaurants, but it isn't here, so I appreciated the gesture.
The dynamite rolls were not typical, despite being a typical type of sushi. They had asparagus, and tartar sauce, and just looked completely different. They were delicious. But the most creative thing we saw was definitely the scallop pot pie. Wow. The menu, we were all pretty sure, said 8 pieces, but don't be fooled - this comes as one serving. We were all feeling friendly, so we didn't mind. It really is a pot pie with shrimp pieces, scallops, crab, and avocado as well as rice, bread and cheese. It was very tasty, and I really enjoyed it - although I wasn't a fan of the bread. It was your cheapy white bread that I feel isn't really bread at all. But I definitely loved the dish overall, and the entire meal we had.
All in all, this is probably my favourite sushi place I've been to, and I've tried a few. Interesting variations and combinations make it so much more fun for an adventurous eater like me, and really good prices make it a fantastic value. Will return, even after I move to the other side of the city in a month - it's that good!
Should mention - it's a tiny restaurant, so no surprise - they're not licensed.
