I just have one downfall about this place. The waitressing staff.
I go back continually, with the thought in mind that service is mediocre. Waiting staff could stand to smile.. and one thing I can't stress enough... when you're placing food down on your customers table, do not place it at the edge. Also, don't expect your paying customers to retrieve the dishes from the waitresses hands and place it on the table for them. That's why we tip you. To effectively carry out your job. Your tips are a reflection of your service you provide. it's your trade. You're not doing us a favor. remember that! It's also not just this restaurant that does this. It's a fair amount of servers in Sushi restaurants that are cold and grumpy. I guess it's a cultural thing.
Now, to the sushi;
I love several items from their menu. Wakami salad and steamed egg are amongst the favorites that are not common in most AYCE sushi restaurants. I drive a fair distance to come to this restaurant.
The Salmon sashimi has a bit of a chemical taste to it. I assume it's a chlorine or pesticide used to fight off some sort of Canadian food regulation for safety rule/limit.
Bathrooms are hideous. Far from clean. You sit way to close to other patrons.
I went by one day to pick up take out, and I noticed it was closed.
I peaked inside and it looked like major renovations were happening.
Here's hoping the staff will also be going through the refresher!
We all have an expectation and standard we want from AYCE. But for $20, you wont be breaking the bank for good sushi and rude servers.
your choice!
