| - I would give it 1.5 stars if I can. Came here with a couple of friends for a weekday AYCE lunch ($14.99). I liked the décor - it felt pretty modern and comfortable. The iPad ordering isn't anything new but convenient nonetheless.
The food was decent, nothing special at all. I usually don't like cheese wontons but they mixed something in the cream cheese that made it pleasant to consume. However, the sushi and the rolls were a completely different story. The fish was not fresh at all, it felt like it was frozen for a while and they defrosted it way too fast - there was no flavour and the colour was too light. The rice did not hold its shape and consistently fell apart. The rolls are massive, and like the rice, does not hold its shape either. If you advertise yourself as a sushi restaurant, you need to get that right or else what's the point? Also, there isn't a lot of options to choose from. Most rolls are either 6 or 8 pieces (typical) but when you're on your 2nd or 3rd round of ordering, you don't want so much. The apps or other items were pretty bland as well. What's worse is the subsequent orders for fried foods (cheese wonton, chicken nuggets, etc.) came out cold and soggy.
I came here looking for some decent sushi as it was ranked 4th on Yelp for AYCE sushi in the downtown core, but this was a pretty big disappointment. Suffice to say, I will not be returning here anytime soon.
