| - New tastes, friendly service!
First of all, we love sushi. I love AYCE, High-end, classic Japanese, Fusion, take-out, eat-in, and everything in between.
RNB is interesting because it's different from all those places, but still incorporates a lot of my favourites tastes...
New & Different Rolls.
The biggest difference is the Aburi Sushi, which is sushi torched to a "medium rare" level. You can definitely taste the smoked/grilled flavour. The texture is still pretty "sushi-ish" but might be a good starting point for people who are new to sushi, since it looks cooked. Salmon had a nice kick of jalapeno on top, but like other reviews here, I'd prefer even more... I did not like the roe mixed into the rice since you don't get the flavour explosions...still most salmon sushi does not even include roe, so I'll take it. We're not big fans of spicy mayo, but I didn't find RnB's offensive.
We also got the Kalbi roll, another original roll. We both found it interesting, but the steak means it takes longer to eat it. Not sure I would order it again, but was an interesting mash-up of 2 of my favourite asian foods.
The Usual Suspects.
We ordered Unagi (eel), spicy salmon, and a Legend Dynamite Roll as well. The unagi was not the tastiest, nor did I find they put enough unagi in the roll -- a bit disappointing. Spicy Salmon was pretty solid, but nothing special. The LD Roll was quite good. All the flavours were popping, and the shrimp tempura was still crunchy and warm inside the roll.
Overall, the flavours and freshness of the food are worth checking out!
