| - The combination of all you can eat sushi and bring your own wine really blows my mind in terms of getting the most bang for your buclk I like high quality sushi, so I was a bit hesitant to try this restaurant. It definitely exceeded my expectations. What I enjoyed the most was being able to draw out the meal, order numerous small courses, enjoy quite a bit of wine, and not feel rushed at any point in the evening.
We were three people and arrived at prime dinner time on a Saturday night without reservations. We were first told it would be a 25 minute wait, which would have been fine, but the hostess was able to rearrange some things to get us seated right away.
It took some time to get our wine glasses and get the wine open, but that is pretty standard at BYOs. After that, service was very quick. We never had to wait long to have our next order sheet picked up.
There were a large number of items that were only available on the dinner menu, and a few that were only available for weekend dinner. Something to consider when planning your visit.
Some of our favourites were the hot and sour soup, fried scallop, spicy salmon maki, the spicy salmon and shrimp tartares, and the sesame ball.
Some of the disappointments were the gyoza, the heavy batter on the shrimp tempura, the very thin piece of tuna on the nigri, and the large and uneven sized pieces of the volcano roll.
The bathrooms are located outside of the restaurant, and you need a key to access them. They were not very well maintained.
As I said, I think this place is a great option for a long drawn out dinner with friends. To this point, there were several large groups.
