| - I'm surprised that this place isn't as busy as it should be. Then again, who really thinks of Little Italy when it comes to sushi? You have two decent izakayas on College but only AYCE sushi (Sushi Bon, Sashimi Island, New Sushi Island) otherwise. Sometimes, you just gotta treat yourself to some...
High Quality Sashimi!
Plating is beautiful, flavours are fresh, portions are fantastic. Service is friendly and attentive! I downed several cups of water upon entry and it was ICE COLD. This is so very appreciated! Especially as a cyclist in this summer heat (feels like 32 degrees celsius...). Thanks for accommodating my massive gulps of water! And for the perfect level of AC!
Amico's video gives you a good idea of the ambiance as well! Love the wooden benches at the back - they are the perfect distance from the bar, heh. I'd say this is a very versatile space for a chill catch-up sesh with the bestie, a small birthday lunch, casual date, family dinner, food to grab before a night on the town. Come as you are.
Now onto the food; here's what we got (and what we would get again with friends):
Sushi and Sashimi for One
6 pcs of sashimi, 4 pcs of nigiri + 6 pcs of spicy roll
--Not sure if they always blowtorch nigiri rolls, but this was fantastic. I would've never finished this by myself! Thank you for the melt-in-my-mouth-UNF salmon
Sea Honey
Pan-fried shrimp, scallop, mussels and vegetables + honey butter
--Mussels were on the small side but the SHRIMP AND SCALLOP all made up for it! We appreciated the stir-fried vegetables too. Not oily, great crunch, nom.
AMICO YOLO
Panko B.B.Q eel, crab meat, cucumber, avocado, tobiko, cheese topped with spicy mixed fish, organic greens + fried leek
--If you like cheese in your sushi rolls, you'll like this. There was SO MUCH sashimi in the center salad and for $18, it's superb value!
Looking forward to being back and trying the omakase!
