| - I have never left a restaurant hungry before but I could not bring myself to stomach the food from Tim Sushi and Cafe. The fish quality did not look or taste fresh. I did not want to risk getting food poisoning because I was hungry so I opted to leave the sushi and eat somewhere else.
I came here for lunch and there was no one in the cafe. That's fine, I've been to places where there are no customers and everything was still great. However, even with three people working, service was SLOW!!!! So slow that it makes me wonder what these three people are actually doing?!
It took us a whole 5 mins after placing our order to get miso soup and salad. Most sushi restaurants bring your miso soup and salad almost immediately after your order is made. Also, I will vouch for one of the Yelp Tips that the waiter who made my salad literally put it together with his bare hands after touching his face and hair--gross! The salad itself was just sad, only iceberg lettuce and dressing. If it was a salad that is out of this world, I could understand the 5 mins wait but it's too simple to take that long to put together. The miso soup was pretty bland and lacked a depth of flavour.
I ordered the 12 pieces of maki and 6 pieces of sushi for $9.99, which is a pretty good deal as most places would charge somewhere between $13.99 to 16.99 for it. When my order arrived, the spicy salmon roll was covered in spicy sauce. Somehow, my intuition told me that the avocados are probably rotten and as I checked the avocados under that thick sauce, they are rotten and black. The chef who made the roll asked to see the rotten avocado that I picked out, which was stupid and ridiculous--were you blind and didn't notice while making this roll that the avocados were rotten?! He took it back and made the roll with "fresh" avocado and while making it defended himself by saying that only the end pieces of the avocado got black and it's not that the avocado isn't fresh. If he had just apologized and owned up to his own mistake of not using a fresh ingredient, I may have given this location a 2 star but the fact that he tried to defend himself with an excuse that, quite frankly, does not even make sense was extremely off-putting. Let's be honest, an avocado browns in about an hour after you cut it up. So, the avocado has been sitting around for some time and has gone bad. DON'T SERVE THIS KIND OF CRAP TO PEOPLE!!
The fish on top of the sushi (raw fish over rice) was warm and the cutting of the fish still had some stringiness to it. I ate a piece of sushi, spat my second piece of sushi and decided that I did not want to eat the rest of the sushi as food poisoning is not fun.
The ONLY thing that tasted good was the California roll, I loved the fish roe in it as not many sushi places include that in the roll any more. And honestly, this California roll is why I rate this place 1 star because if it tasted awful, I probably would have said this place deserves 0 stars.
Lastly, why did the avocado in the California roll look fine while the one for the spicy salmon was rotten? Is it because the chef thought the spicy sauce could cover up the rotten avocado? SHAME ON YOU!
I will most definitely NEVER return to this place. In fact, I will not be recommending this place to anyone either. STAY AWAY FROM HERE!
