| - Located on Silver Star Boulevard in the small-ish plaza next to No Frills - look carefully for the sign!
Interior is nicely decorated and modern, though not too many seats. I've been here twice for lunch and both experiences have been good. Service is courteous but nothing outstanding.
The first time I had the Take lunch bento box - this includes a grilled fish, katsu don, and roasted duck breast - around 13/14 dollars. Lunch includes a side salad and clam miso soup - the dressing of the salad is more on the savoury side and has black pepper/sesame oil in it. The soup had a clam in it the first time, and no clam the second time.
Portions were good and I left feeling satisfied. The duck breast was good as was the grilled fish - there were a few bones so be careful! It was also more on the oily side, but grilled very well - crisp on the outside. It depends on the fish - my brother had a fish that had very many small bones that would be difficult to eat if you're not used to it. The katsu don tasted good as well - don't expect your standard crispy fried katsu though, the breading was softish cause they cover it in sauce and egg.
The salmon sashimi was excellent. Very thick and fatty pieces, very flavourful. Probably the best item of the meal. It was around 6 dollars for 3 pieces.
The second time I had the sushi/maki lunch - 14 dollars. The fish here is very fresh and I'd come here again for it. The maki was salmon with tempura pieces. The sushi included salmon, mackerel, octopus, squid, shrimp, and some unidentified fish - can't quite remember what it was. I'd never had raw squid/shrimp before, but it was a good experience - everything was very fresh.
I would come again - I might not crave anything here though. It's a tad too expensive in my opinion, enough to stop me from being a regular. The raw fish is excellent though - I would likely have sushi/sashimi if I come back. Overall probably a 3.5 because of the price.
