| - What a neat place! I came here for a birthday date night with the hubby, and we had a great time trying something new. The evening was awesome because: 1. we were baby free (which has nothing to do with the restaurant, but I just wanted to note lol), 2. the place was quiet but not empty, which meant we could hear each other talk, 3. the staff was friendly and helpful, and 4. the food was yum!
We arrived late - around 8:30 (they close at 10), and spent some time looking over the choices. While they have a lot of variety (hot food and sushi stuff), I had my heart set on a sushi burrito and a poke bowl. The signage around the two is pretty confusing - I wasn't sure how to order and was looking everywhere for a how-to, but the person behind the counter explained that you could pick one of the already defined option, or you can create your own for "$1 more", which in itself is confusing since the different sushi burritos displayed were differently priced depending on the protein.
I ended up picking the salmon sushi burrito and the salmon poke bowl (substituting tuna for the salmon). We paid and got two cups for water, some cutlery, and sat ourselves down in a booth. The place is large and the seating options are varied (booth, square tables, round tables, coffee table and couches), so you can really take your pick.
We spent some time laughing over the pre-packaged wasabi, but let me tell you that wasabi is INSANE. Like, the second most spicy wasabi we've ever had. It was SO GOOD.
Overall, we had a great time - the food was delicious and filling (for me, the Mr had to have some more food when he got home), and the flavours were great. If you're excited for the poke bowl, I should mention it's not like actual Hawaiian poke, so you should reset the expectations if that's what you're looking for. But it's an interesting concept nonetheless, and I felt it was decent value for money - probably moreso if you're coming for a quick lunch.
