| - Came here on Saturday night and enjoyed almost all the food selections I tried. Ordered a coke, which includes free refills.
For dim sum, had the chive dumplings, siu mai and tripe. Loved the tripe, very tasty. Great bite sized siu mai and light chive dumplings.
As it was Saturday dinner service, they had feature items on the menu. Beef tataki was buttery soft. They also had torched butterfish sushi, torched salmon sushi and torched shrimp and cheese sushi. These were the highlight of my dinner!!! They had a savoury burnt taste, topped with a garlic sauce and some other sauce that looked like soy sauce. No need to dip it into your soy sauce.
With respect to the maki rolls, the rolls were a large bite sized and we're not stuffed with rice which is great! The selection however, is limited. They do not have the sushi roll wrapped in rice paper for example. I didn't see any special concoction found just at August 8 sushi.
Sashimi came in a bowl and on a bed of crushed ice. First salmon sashimi was very thinly cut. The tuna was cut thicker. The tuna was semi frozen which surprised me. The second set of salmon were cut thicker. Not sure what their standard width is for sashimi, it could be very thin or about a pencil and a 1/4 wide.
The cooked items were of great quality. The ribs were not fatty in comparison to other ayce sushi I've tried. The wings are crisp, breaded and bite sized. The vegetable tempura was very crisp and I enjoyed the shrimp tempura, which is one of my faves.
As for the salad, the house salad had good toppings with thousand island dressing. It looked fresh and thus, deserve a thumbs up.
Dessert includes tiramisu, green tea, mango, vanilla, chocolate ice cream, fried banana, sesame balls... I don't think that's the complete list, but do know there's enough to choose from!
Service was quick and efficient, only one thing was missed, chicken skewer. The staff don't smile at all, even when you thank them. However, they are efficient. The tablet ordering system may freeze on you, in which case, you should tap a picture to unfreeze the tablet. When you press order history, you can check what others have ordered before you, so you could compare your eating prowess against those who came before you (if you wish, came upon this by accident). You can call your server via the tablet.
Dining area is clean with comfy booths throughout the whole dining area. I saw one table with chairs walking out, but mostly booths. They have one person washrooms, marked by gender.
I would definitely come back again and try all the other items I missed, such as fried rice, udon noodles, maki and hand rolls.
