The location itself is within an old run-down strip mall with a shoppers drug mart. We came in to this establishment on Monday evening; surprised that the restaurant was so empty during dinner service. We gave the restaurant the benefit of the doubt due to the "amazing" yelp reviews and asked for seating for two.
We ordered the appetizer uni sushi (2 pcs), spider king roll, salmon lover roll and a miso ramen. The total came to $55 without tips, which to a lot of people would agree is over priced - especially, after the meal, the quality is very under performing. Going into detail: (pictures also provided below) The plating of the food was aesthetically pleasing, but do not be fooled - there is no beauty on the inside of the food.
(1) Uni Sushi - The uni itself was very small in its size, but the biggest issue was that it did NOT taste fresh at all. Pricing at $6.50 was extremely over priced.
(2) Miso Ramen - I should not have trusted a Korean family owned "sushi" restaurant to make good ramen. The miso broth had no taste, the cha siu resembled a small piece of bacon, and noodles like plastic. I would not be surprised if I saw the store owners walking over to the noFrils supermarket, which is conveniently located right beside the restaurant, and getting all their ingredients there. This dish honestly tasted really cheap, but priced at $12.
(3) Salmon Lover's Roll - The first thing you will notice about these "sushi" rolls is that the size is huge. One piece of sushi is about 10cm in diameter, this is not sushi, should really call it a slice of a sushi burrito.... The Salmon filling inside was heavily sauced with spicy mayo. I question the freshness of this roll at this point, one from the experience of the Uni sushi, but also because the salmon was so heavily sauced up that you really could not tell if the salmon was fresh or not. Your jaws will be stretched and hurting after eating the first few pieces. Priced at $15
(4) King Spider Roll - I was excited to get this since I am a big lover of soft-shelled crab, but this dish really ruined my experience. Again, the size of this "sushi" was HUGE. They did not create sushi, it was a monster sushi burrito sliced horizontally. The soft-shell crab itself was a huge disappointment, the dish itself was so over-fried that it was like burnt fish sticks. What a way to destroy not only the dish, but sushi. For individuals who say that "bigger the sushi, the more value for your buck"... well, sushi is not suppose to be eaten like that... It a savory dish, that should be eaten in a single bite without needing two hands just so you can stuff it inside your mouth - I see yelp reviews saying that they love the big size of the sushi. no no no.
(5) Dessert (half an orange sliced) - The bill came with a complementary half slice of orange - let just say it was sour and the quality was... we did not finish it.
Note: The korean owners (especially the male servers) were creepy at times. They would walk by and very slowly stare at me and my lady friend with... it was just a really creepy look.
We will not be coming back to this restaurant again, hoping to provide this review so you may not regret your experience as well.
