U-Know Sushi just opened along Queensway just east of Parklawn. It replaces my favourite local Thai place that recently closed down.
I went in to grab some sushi on my way home from work and since it's new, they weren't very busy yet.
To keep things simple I ordered one of their 30 piece sushi platters.
Eventhough there were only 2 customers when I arrived, my order took 40 minutes to prepare! 40 minutes!
There was 1 sushi chef, 2 waitresses and 1 bus boy. They should have brought in an extra chef and sent home one of the waitresses since it wasn't busy.
------ PROS ------
1. The sushi was very fresh and delicious
2. The prices are extremely reasonable ($37 for a 30 piece sushi platter)
3. Staff was very friendly and pitched in a free order of edemame
------ CON ------
1. The service is excruciatingly slow... Call ahead for take-out.
Right now it stands at 3 stars because I hate long waits for food. I understand if the place was busy but it was a slow night. I can't imagine how long one would have to wait once this place gets busy.... Since it's local, and I LOVE sushi, I will likely be back here in the near future. I hope they look into this problem and speed up the service.
To be continued....
Tip: If you go in the evening, there's free parking along the west wall of the building in the Active Green + Ross garage parking lot.
