| - I ordered: Sushi Deluxe, Oyster shooter, and Otoro Sashimi
My friend ordered: King Salmon Sashimi, Blue Fin Tuna Sashmi (maguro cut), and Yuzu Roll.
Sushi Deluxe: A decent set with a good variety of fish at a good price. However, the spicy dynamite roll combination with the sushi set felt a bit weird. Nothing wrong with the roll itself--it was a good roll. However, it just felt like it didn't go well with the nigiri. It's just a personal thing. The rice was excellent. Good texture and temperature. 8.5/10.
Oyster shooter: When I ordered it, I expected that the oyster shooter would have uni because I was look at all the pictures on yelp before coming here. However, when it came, I noticed that it didn't have any uni. I didn't think much of it, and then I had it. It was all right, but it felt lacking without the uni.
Then I took a look at the menu. On the menu, it said the oyster shooter comes with "fresh oyster, quail egg, tobiko, yuzu ponzu, uni, green onion." I only noticed that after we've paid the bill. I decided to ask the server. She said she will ask the chef. At first, the server said they're not sure what happened, but they're going to make me a new one. I didn't expect them to do so, and I thought that was great of them. However, they ended up only serving me the missing uni on the side. I don't blame the server for saying they'll make me a new one and then only serving me the uni--there was probably just a miscommunication between her and the chef. It was great that they tried to rectify it, but serving the uni on the side is quite different from having it in the shooter all together. 6.5/10. Would likely be higher if it had been all together.
Otoro Sashimi: 3 slices for $25. Kinda pricey! But great texture and great portion size (as it ought to be). In terms of quality, the ones I had at Yazu and Jabistro (though those ones were sushi) might have been a bit better. 8.5/10
Yuzu roll: Great tasting roll with a nice flaming presentation. Again, the rice was excellent.
King Salmon Sashimi: My friend said it was good (I haven't tried).
Blue Fin Tuna Sashimi (Hon Maguro on the menu): My friend liked it. One of the pieces looked so fatty that it's almost like toro.
My friend says for the two sashimi he ordered: good size, good presentation, good taste, no crumbs (inside joke haha). 8.5/10.
Services: Excellent service in general (speed of food, tea refills, rectifying that oyster shooter). 9/10
Other comments: Could use more items on their menu (ankimo for one). But I'm surprised that they have calpico (or calpis) in their beverage menu. Nice!
Conclusion: Great sushi, but not a lot of wow factor (Yasu's kind of a hard act to follow). I would try again but possibly not for a while since I have many other Japanese restaurants on my list that I need to try (Japango, Zen Markham, etc).
Quality: 8.5/10. Value: 8/10. Service: 9/10. Overall: 8.5/10 (not an average).
