| - I had a hankering for some sushi so I whipped out my trusty yelp app to help satisfy my cravings. I noticed a spot around the corner from where I was with high ratings and decided to try it out. Long story short - I was extremely happy with my decision.
I came in around 6pm on a Friday evening and the place was packed. And by packed I mean there are literally only 6 tables and about 6 spots around the sushi bar and every single seat was filled. I suppose that was a good sign. As we entered a cheery waitress greeted us and said the wait wouldn't be too long. She was right as two tables were finishing up and we were seated within 10 minutes.
She brought us over two menus and was smiling ear to ear and super friendly. Right after bringing us the menus she returned with two cups of tea. I began sipping on the tea as we browsed the menus eying all the different rolls they had to offer. The tea was super delicious and had comforting flavours that I couldn't quite put my finger on. When the waitress came back to take our order I asked was kind of tea it was. She graciously explained it was a roasted corn and barley tea and it is a very common drink in every household in Korea.
Within a few short minutes our food started rolling out
Miso Soup- Adored there miso soup soo savoury and creamy not watered down at all!
Edamame - Simply prepared boiled and nicely salted - why mess with a good thing right?
Vegetable Tempura- 7 Huge pieces and light and crispy battered vegetables that were perfectly cooked and piping hot. The vegetables consisted of butternut squash, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and onion
Bulgogi Dinner - Korean style marinated sliced beef rib-eye on a sizzling plate comes with rice, salad, and miso soup.
This was a hugeeee portion and came beautifully served on a sizzling hot plate. The beef was perfectly cooked super tender with the perfect combo of sweet and salty flavours. I also enjoyed the little bit of sweet potato noodles woven through out the meat.
Spicy Salmon and Spicy Tuna Roll - Good sized rolls, very fresh tasting, and super spicy as each roll had a lovely dollop of sriracha crowning it
Valentine Roll - Avocado, cucumber, crab meat, topped with spicy salmon, shredded crunch potato, and special sauce
Humungous sized roll!!! This roll was unlike anything i've seen before; the top of the roll was draped with super crispy fried strings of potato that added another dimension to the already jam packed roll, the spicy fresh salmon salmon added a nice punch of heat and the creamy special sauce balanced everything out - Hands down one of the Best rolls i've ever had!
Green Tea Ice Cream - Nice matcha flavour, creamy, and not too sweet, perfect ending to a wonderful meal!
Overall a spectacular find! Thanks Yelp! Food came out super fast, great sized portions, and very flavourful. Service here is amazing! Our waitress was super friendly and efficient - she noticed how much I was enjoying my tea and constantly refilled it before it even got the chance to reach empty every single time. She was also the only waitress in the whole joint and was gracious and attentive to every patron. Also another bonus this place does take out and it seemed to be very popular - while we were dining I noticed many people coming in to pick up there orders. I will definitely be returning for both take out and dine in options!
