| - Coming from Toronto, this place here is truly a trek for me. I decided, hey, if I'm going to travel wee out west, I might as well go for gold (We chose teppanyaki).
Now a little about the business. Washoku is essentially a 4 in 1 restaurant. They offer several dining experiences: teppanyaki, izakaya (ramen, sushi etc), shabu shabu, and bbq all under one roof. Sushi is AYCE for 31 ish dollars, probably for dinner, shabu shabu is roughly 20 bucks, bbq is around 25-30, and teppanyaki can go up to 40-50 bucks a head. Teppanyaki dining area was pretty posh and I opted for land and sea which consisted of salmon, shrimp and filet mignon. We were served 4 pcs of california roll, salad, miso soup, and complimentary dessert. They also served very fragrant tea which I believe is jasmine.The main meal came with veggies and steamed rice or you can get fried rice for $2 extra.
I have to say the quality of the meat is definitely up there although quantity was moderate. I think the cuts of meat including the salmon were good and fresh. Our chef didn't overcook anything, and my filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare. We even had a cool massive onion volcano to boot. Who doesn't love a good show? Service was friendly, warm, and attentive, chef included.
I recommend coming here if you want less of a crowd and quality meat. I definitely want to try their other dining experiences, maybe shabu shabu next time. This restaurant is located in a huge complex with theater nearby ,so why don't you do dinner at this place and a movie? Might work out pretty good!
