| - Japanese-fusion heaven.
Was in the area and needed a quick bite. Found this new place through Yelp and was not disappointed.
Upon walking in there is a fridge to the right with some pre-prepared items for those on-the-go, and there is also a huge made-to-order menu. They offer more traditional fare, such as sashimi, nigiri, maki, as well as the latest Japanese-fusion foods - sushi burritos, poke bowls, torched pressed sushi! They have it all!
With so many options, I had a hard time deciding what to order, but settled on the oysters from the fridge and the Deluxe Chirashi Don from the menu.
This is mainly a take-out joint, with a few seats by the front window. I was able to snag a seat for myself as someone had just left.
I was so intrigued by the oysters. Two oysters per order each topped with a piece of uni, ikura and apple jelly. They were so beautiful and tasted as good as they looked! The oysters were fresh, uni was creamy and the apple jelly added a hint of brightness and sweetness to everything.
The chirashi bowl was presented very nicely, really impressed since this is a take-out joint. The bowl was red and albacore tuna, salmon, torched salmon, mackerel, scallop, hamachi, uni, cuttlefish, spot prawn on top of a bed of rice. I'm glad I chose this dish for my first visit so I could judge the quality of the fish. All the sashimi was super fresh and they all had a silky texture. The spot prawn was my favourite! It was so sweet.
Also wanted to mention the bed of rice. I know rice is rice, but this rice had an amazing flavour that complimented the fish so well.
Service is also super friendly.
Will definitely come back to try other items. The torched sushi is next on my list.. maybe I'll have to bring a friend next time, so I can sample more things.
