| - "The one with the tasty but slow Futomaki."
Good:
Exceptional quality; very fresh and authentic
Bad:
Takes forever for the food to come (on a weekday lunch too!); might be a little pricey; portions might seem small
Overview:
Undoubtedly the best quality sushi I have eaten in the Richmond Hill location. Albeit a little pricey (a 10 piece sushi box set with sashimi and rolls cost $15 before tax), the quality and cut of the fish was truly authentic and the rice texture was just right. I've never been a fan of Futomaki before but that was definitely the best piece I had out of the lunch box, which included fresh salmon, white tuna, mackerel, unagi and a few more. It did, however, take 1+ hours to prepare the meal for us, and this was on a weekday at 12PM. They later did mention that the head chef was away and they were short on people but my friend who I later recommended to go to this place said the same thing happened, although there were two chefs at that time.
The place itself is not that large, with only one table available for large seating. This room is located in the front of the restaurant and it is a traditional "shoes-off, sit down on the floor" style table. Other tables hold 4 people or so at most.
Overall, a very nice place with the best quality sushi I've had. The wait was somewhat long and it was a little pricier, but you get what you pay for! (If you're looking for alternatives around this area, try Inaho on East Beaver Creek).
