| - 6 international visits later, having most of the rolls on their menu, and becoming personable with the chefs, I now have enough information to make a review. So let's get started.
Firstly.. I don't know what it is about the sushi places in Canada with people not wanting to sit at the bar. I've walked past, stepped in, and glanced over more than enough places and each time the bar has been empty. Call me strange, but this is the best place to be. You can interact with your cook, you can ask him questions about what he recommends, and you can even watch what he is doing. It's all quite fascinating. That being said. the first time my fiancée and I were here and I sat down at the bar, the servers all stared at me like I had 3 heads. "Take out?" she asked. "No We're eating in". "Table?" was her next line. "No thank you I enjoy the bar".. "You sure?"....."Absolutely" I would love to tell you this was the first time it happened, however it occurred 2 more times until they began to recognize who we were. Now the cook sees us, smiles, makes a nod at the bar inquisitively, I confirm with a smile and a nod of my own, and he waves off the servers. It's kind of become a quiet conversation between us.
The routine has become pretty safe at this point. I choose 2 rolls, 1 Appetizer and then give the chef free reign to make me 1 item of his choosing. Out of all the different App/Salad choices I have seen the 2 that I found quite tasty over the others would be the Mangosa Salad and Evi Avocado Salad.
In terms of the actual Rolls offered I have yet to order any that are bad. On top of the ones on the sheet, I cannot remember the ones made for us that were not on the menu but were of the chefs own creation. Particular rolls that come to mind, Dynamite, Spider, Green Spider, Dragon, (All Maki) I have ordered each one of their own "Crispy Roll" selections and they are all stellar. I can't really think of anything negative with the exception of needing to have that awkward moment from when I walk in and sit at the bar and get stared at like I am growing a third eye. Hit this place up, definitely.
