| - 3.5* I thought this place was pretty good, but I wouldn't drive out of the way for it.
We ordered Yama Sushi (18 pieces - $17.95) and a Hwe Dup Bob ($12.95) to-share. Sushi platter came with a good variety of different kinds of fish, not all-salmon like a lot of places. The tuna was a bit fishy, but soft, edible. Everything was fairly fresh, but not completely melt-in-your-mouth.
Minor, weird observation: I could've done without the fake flower that was on top of the parsley garnish on the Yama Sushi plate. I stayed away from it, but it's probably recycled and I'm not sure if they wash it in-between servings.
The Spicy Salmon maki roll came with the spicy sauce/crunch ON TOP of the roll and I would've preferred if it was mixed into the roll. I like my spiciness all over! ;) The flavour was good though.
Hwe Dup Bop was good value with approx. 6 small rice bowl-sized servings in 1! There was at least 3 different kinds of tobiko in this dish, good presentation. My only complaint about this salad + diced sashimi + rice was that it NEEDED a larger serving bowl. I added my rice and it was quite difficult to mix everything together. Pieces of the salad even came out of the bowl.
Dinner came with a crunch soup (in a cute tea cup) + fresh salad with a sesame flavoured vinegarette (much too acidic at the bottom) + miso soup + green tea ice cream at the end. Good added value!
Atmosphere: Could've used a surround sound. I heard a radio faintly in the background, otherwise, it was a large group full of gamer-type uni students and their convo. Only 1 other table during a Friday dinner service, so quiet.
