| - UPDATE (02/07/15):
So I decided to come again a second time to try more from their menu, but I ended up super disappointed. I noticed that there was different staff who weren't as nice and friendly as the waitresses from the first visit but that's not the main issue.
The food. Ok. So I'm pretty sure that the chefs today were not the chefs from my first visit. I loved the beef tataki from before so I ordered it again this time, only to find little bits of meat poorly arranged on a plate.
The beef tataki from the first visit was wonderful and full of beef flavour and also "normal" sized. The beef tataki from today was HALF the size of the beef tataki from before, no joke. The taste was not terrible but wasn't as good as the first time. We were very disappointed with it.
We also ordered their spicy salmon roll and crunch roll. They were good rolls but not anything amazingly delicious. I even tried their butter squid that many people recommended, it was ok but I personally think that Hibiki makes it better.
One little warning: DO NOT ORDER THE BC TUNA! We ordered the BC tuna in the beginning with the rest of our food and we ate everything that came, and we even called for the bill when we finished.
What we didn't notice was that we didn't even get the BC tuna! We didn't notice until my mom looked over the receipt and we asked the waitress who told us that the chefs were still making it. So it takes an hour to make it? Ok, even if it is supposed to take that long it would've been much appreciated if we were warned about this when ordering.
We wanted to cancel the order but sadly, the waitress said that it was already being made so we couldn't cancel. She said it would be ready in a few minutes so we asked for it to be put into a take out box.
After 10 minutes of waiting, the waitress handed us the box and we rushed out of the restaurant. In the car we decided to see the fancy tuna that we had to wait an hour for, and we ended up with 5 small pieces of overcooked tuna in a giant take out box. Really, we waited an hour for this. So yea, disappointment.
TL;DR:
Overall, I feel that this is a great restaurant to eat at but a major problem is that they are not consistent with their food. One day it can taste amazing, but if you come back another day, it could taste horrible. I was very dissapointed today, but I will not give up on this restaurant! I shall come back again next time (for the purple sushi)!
