| - A consistently good Japanese restaurant in the heart of the city.
It's on the mid-tier in terms of pricing, similar to Japango and WOW Sushi. Lower price and quality than JaBistro or Mika. But a dependable choice.
ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant spreads over two floors, with different dining spaces - so it accommodates single diners, small tables and larger parties (which is GREAT because most Japanese restaurants are so tiny, it's impossible to have a party larger than 10). Overall décor is dark and sleek. Have seen all sorts of patrons here, from casual diners to business crowds.
SERVICE: Very prompt and courteous. Have been here many times and staff is always very friendly, and responsive. Never have pressured to speed through a meal, but they're attentive enough that you never have to ask for something twice.
PRICE: Reasonable. Although, they have gone up over the years - by switching out some of the more pricey ingredients. For example, the beef option in their Yuzu Bento used to be beef teriyaki, but now it's a much lower quality beef.
FOOD: As mentioned its very reliable and consistent quality. I'm a big fan of sashimi, and they have a great selection here. I recommend going with the "chef's choice/selection" when considering options. It's a bit pricier than the regular option, but you get better cut or type of fish. Presentation (like Japango & WOW Sushi) is always beautifully set. So you'll enjoy a feast for the eyes and your taste buds.
Remember to save room for dessert! I enjoy their matcha brulée. It's rather soft/runny, but the flavour is always fantastic.
