| - This is a new place and I was thinking about the review as I was sitting and eating!
First, I had the Kanisu salad, which is similar to a Kani salad
It was DELICIOUS - it had almost no cucumber, which I like because many restaurants try to fill the salads with cucumber and not much crab
It was FULL of crab and they mix it with tempura pieces, it seems
It was VERY tasty and VERY different; it's served with a piece of avocado on the top with some peanuts sprinkled on... very good
We also had the soba noodle with shrimp -- this comes out sizzling; it was good, the noodle has a bit of a sweeter taste and there is a strong onion taste as you get towards the bottom
in terms of maki we got the orangeville roll which was huge and delicious
very beautifully decorated and elaborate and very tasty -- this roll has scallop, crab, avocado, fish roe, salmon, you name it!
We also had the spicy california role which I really enjoyed; the spicy sauce gives it more flavour and the shrimp tempura role
Their tempura is different and very tasty
It was all thoroughly enjoyed
At the end of the meal we got a free bubbly fruit punch with fruit in it
It was very nice and a nice end to the meal
It is not cheap but prices are comparable to other higher end sushi restaurants
In terms of decor, very nicely decorated
Heads up: they are closed on MONDAYS! (we went last Monday to try it out and were disappointed to leave empty handed :( )
They also offer smaller "samples" of Sake (1oz, which is a standard shot)
for around $1.50-$5, which is good to try out a variety of kinds!
They do offer terriyaki, Korean beef ribs and set maki dinners
However, the dinners are somewhat expensive ($25 for Korean rib dinner which has rice, house salad and miso soup) BUT the lunch menu is cheaper... so if this is something you are more interested in, I would suggest going at lunch!
I will definitely go during a lunch day and try out the Korean ribs!
We enjoyed it and will definitely be returning
