Surprisingly Underwhelmed.
Was expecting so much more for omakase ($120 for sashimi course)
I regret coming here for number of reasons.
First of all, I believe the amount of food and variety was very limited despite the $120 price tag. There are tons of places out there nowadays in Toronto that goes for half that price with amazing Kaiseki.
Secondly, none of the waiters were Japanese. My fam is Japanese and we expected Japanese service for such a place. The waiter had very limited knowledge in the sushis and she had to go back and ask the chef because she didn't know what type of fish was on the plate. The excuse was "the menu changes everyday"...not sure if we take that.
Thirdly, the sashimi was still cold/semi frozen inside (!!! Yes...the biggest no-no if any of you sushi connoisseur know).
So finally we decided to complain.
The chef arrived, seemed somewhat unapologetic explaining that the fish all comes fresh never frozen from Spain.
So it may have gotten cold in the centre when it was sitting in the fridge.
..........and? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of not ever freezing the fish to get here in the first place?
And are we supposed to accept that as an apology? I don't think so. There definitely was an attitude there. They did say "so did you want another tuna sashimi then?" (Super casually) Again, there was a subtle attitude like as if we complained to get free food. we declined.
Overall the food was...okay. Underwhelming. My mom makes better Japanese food to be honest lol the broth was disappointing in both chawanmushi (egg pudding) and the soups.
That experience left a bad taste for us and we definitely will NOT be coming back. Wish I got my money back and ate somewhere else
