By far my all-time favorite sushi place in the city!
We passed by this place many times before not thinking much of it. Only until we got a recommendation from friends who are Vancouver sushi snobs did we finally go in. We were greeted with smiling faces and the friendly service continued throughout the rest of the meal.
They recommended a few of their specialty rolls but we passed and went with our usual orders. Then, they brought out samples of their "Yummy Yam" roll (on the house) and from that point on we've ordered that as our 'dessert' sushi every time we've visited. The brown rice options, the unlimited tea, and the complimentary ice cream at the end of our meal has had us coming back at every opportunity.
Lately, my girlfriend has found herself to be gluten sensitive and unfortunately that means that rolls with tempura and even the soy sauce was off limits. Once we told them about this, they went above and beyond to alter various menu items to accommodate her allergy! They acquired wheat free soy sauce, removed the tempura from any rolls we ordered, and substituted corn starch for flour in their fried foods just for us!
We prefer going in simply because of the friendly service but have tried delivery as well. They can get pretty busy so we forgive the fact that it can take 45mins to 1h (though its usually the former) to deliver. It helps to speak clearly when placing orders since a few words could be lost in translation but we've gotten used to this quirk of the Spadina area.
Everything we've tried has been amazing. From the basic california rolls, to salmon sashimi, to various hand rolls, we have never been disappointed and look forward to the next time we visit!
