  • A friend of mine recommended this place to me and so we met for an early dinner (5:30pm). I had a bit of a time looking for parking as there is no street parking along 14th street and most of the parking on the west side of 14th street is reserved for residences. They do have pay parking right above them but I decided to park on the east side of 14th street in the large empty lot. It's reserved for the condo but I doubt they'd care as it's usually empty. Inside the ambiance is pretty contemporary. No design elements stand out but I remember there being ample room for a small/mid-sized Japanese restaurant. The music they were playing had a nice contemporary jazz feel. The staff were friendly and prompt, asking us if we needed anything at the best times and letting us have long chats when needed. One could dine off the appetizer menu alone with the vast selection. We had the agedashi tofu, seafood poke and sunomono to start. The tofu was cooked well, soft, but it didn't break apart in your chopsticks. The poke had ample amounts of salmon sashimi and big chunks of avocado. The flavours blended well and had a nice texture. The poke was served on a crisp tortilla shell which could also be consumed should you so wish; best not let all that flavour go to waste! The sunomono was the last of the appetizers to come out. I've never had it before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Apparently, nunomono is a Japanese dish consisting of cooked shrimp, noodles and thinly sliced cucumbers marinated in rice vinegar for several hours. The taste was sweet and tangy. The thicker glass noodles had a nice texture and shape to deliver the flavour of the marinade. It was quite refreshing and I'm sure I'll have it again here! We tried their grasshopper roll consisting of salmon tempura, mango, mayo, avocado, wakame and bonito flakes were sprinkled on top. The roll had some good flavours going on. I found the salmon tempura to be a bit dry and texture out of place; it still tasted good although I don't think I'll order it again. Their appetizer tempura that we ordered was a good size and helped fill us up further. They forget our order of miso soup but they did come back at the end of the meal to offer it for us. We declined as we were quite full. The meal was really well prepared and was not overly expensive. With the food and a small bottle of sake the bill was in the mid-$40 range (before tax and tip). I was quite happy with my first experience at Red Ember and I'll definitely be back!
