Micro review : The worst sushi of my life.
Short review:
The rice had too much vinegar and the sushi was not fresh.
The place was empty, with one waiter and one cook and it was still painfully slow to get anything. The (evening) selection is severely lacking, and the web menu showed things that we could not get on the paper menu. Free parking in the back
Long review:
You have to keep in mind that I rarely give one star reviews, I know how hard it is to run a restaurant, but if you don't know what you are doing, you deserve to fail.
It was freezing and my friend was in town to visit, we did not want to deal with parking downtown,so our choices were limited to Nami, Sushi Plus and Odaki, since they all offer free parking.
Once here, we saw that the place was empty, fine, could be the weather, but the place itself was freezing, no heat turned on and waiter wants to sit us in the breezy middle.
We see the menu, and so far so good, the selection is not the biggest since some sushi staples seem to be missing compared to their photo menu I saw before going
http://www.odakisushi.ca/odaki-buffet.html
Their numbered menu skipped over so many numbers, it was clear their menu was sliced in half. No Sushi Pizza, 4-5 Sashimi, 7-8 Nigiri, and half the Maki rolls were not on our menu.
We started off with some salmon sushi, and from the first bite, the vinegar in the rice hit us. Terrible, terrible failure and an embarrassment.
The selection of rolls is really tiny and just as un-fresh as the sushi.
After the first plates were cleared, we decided to steer clear of anything with rice,
The only thing that was tolerable was the sashimi, not the best, but it didn't have rice.
We now concentrated on stir-fry and skewers, whoa boy.
The first were OK,with nice noodles and veggies, but the beef skewers were just mystery meat, not looking anything like teriyaki, the chicken was a bit better.
The shrimp tempura looked fake since all the pieces were the exact shape and size and the tail seemed to be missing. The veggie tempura was not much better since it was fried in ancient oil and it's all we can taste. Their menu online lists 35 Appetizers and Hot Meals, but in reality is closer to 15-20 ( No shrimp with garlic butter, no scallop yakitori, soft shell crab or mussels and many others.
The whole time we were there, maybe 3-4 tables came and went in under an hour, we wanted to get our money's worth so we stayed. The service was slow with only one chef and one waiter who was just walking nervously and fidgeting all over the place from a lack of clients (Might I suggest trying your food to see the problem)
If I was rich, I would have left after a the first bite and gone to Sushi Plus.
The funniest part is at the end, we asked for dessert, and we were told we had to get it ourselves, the ice cream is self serve, which we found hilarious and a nice coup-de-grace to the worst sushi I've had in my life. I felt so bad for choosing this place I paid for my friend, he rarely eats out because he's in the army and it was his first sushi in 2 years.
