This review is for a lunch experience.
We came for lunch in a group of 8. We ordered a variety of food from both the lunch menu and the regular menu. As I only ate mine, I solicited opinions from others about their food.
I ordered a sushi set with California rolls ($14) from the lunch menu. The quality of the raw fish and rice was good, and was on par with MiNe from across the street. The fish slice of the nigiri sushi was thinner than I like. For the maki, the protein to rice ratio was good. Both nigiri sushi and maki rolls were loosely put together. For the nigiri sushi, the fish slice seemed to be simply snapped on top of the rice. The maki rolls kind of fell apart when picked up. I rated the sushi set 3.5 stars, mainly due to the freshness.
A few friends also ordered some of maki combo lunches. One said his rolls also came apart when picked up. He said he would rate it 3 stars.
A friend ordered a sashimi set ($16) from the lunch menu. The sashimi was thick, and the colour looked good. She said the freshness was average. She rated it 3.5 stars.
A friend ordered a don with beef short ribs. She *loved* her don. She said it was tasty, moist, had lot of meat and other ingredients. She rated it 4 stars for quality and taste, plus 0.5 stars for the large portion. And indeed, the don was big enough to feed a man of big appetite.
A friend ordered an inexpensive Osaka Okonomiyaki (pancake) from the dinner menu ($7). It was big enough to serve as a lunch for a person of small appetite. She rated it 3 stars.
The average score of the orders above is 3.5 stars.
