Wow!!!! What a pleasant surprise - 3.5 stars. The small sushi restaurant provides minimal decor but makes up for it with good quality sushi at a low price point.
WoW is a lower price alternative to my "go to" Sushi restaurant - Yuzu. I'm told the WoW sushi chef once worked at Yuzu which explains some obvious similarities I noticed right away (Regulars at Japango will also notice these similarities as well).
I shared the small sushi boat with another Yelper. The boat included the following:
- 8 pieces of spicy salmon roll. Rolls were a little on the small side but good flavour and not too much spicy sauce.
- 8 pieces of Japango roll (also shows the connection to Yuzu / Japango). Again, the roll was a little on the small side but tasted great.
- 8 pieces of Tuna roll, probably my least favourite.
- 16 mixed pieces of Sushi - this was the real standout for me. Not your standard fish selections (see photos). Just like Yuzu, I loved the butter fish (but the pieces are smaller). They use the blowtorch to alter the fish textures.
The one negative was that they served everything on separate plates which was a problem for the small table. We had no room for our drinks.
In comparison to Yuzu (it's a natural comparison) - the fish portions are smaller, presentations simpler and the Sushi pieces lack some of the unique spices... but the lower prices make WoW a viable option for sure.
I may not rank WoW at the top of my list but at this price point, I will be back for sure.
