| - A new izakaya place that opened in Scarborough destiny Plaza. They just got the name of the restaurant installed recently, before it was still the name of the restaurant they took over.
Inside is bright, clean, and comfortable. There isn't many seats, and definitely not made for big parties. There is only one large table in the middle, then booths and small tables surrounding it.
The service is really friendly and informative.
The tea was really good and not from tea bags.
The menu was pretty big, and my eyes wanted to try everything but my tummy didn't allow, so we tried to get a couple of different things.
We ordered a mini rice bowl with sea urchin and salmon roe. There was a fair amount of salmon roe, the bowl is not very big, good snack size. This was 14.99.
We tried 3 skewers, chicken gizzard, chicken meat and chicken meatball. All was juicy and nicely cooked. Not too salty. The gizzard had a nice crunch and chew.
Then we tried the deluxe sashimi platter. There were 4 types of fish (chef choice), each with 3 pieces each ($23.99). They gave us specialty fish, not your typical salmon. We had amber jack, geoduck (I think) and some other ones I wasn't too sure about.
Then we tried the grilled amber jack Kama. This was really good. It took a while to make, but when it came, it was really fresh and nicely cooked. Lots of meat, and was quite filling! ($12.50)
Lastly we tried their grilled rice cake with sesame ice cream and red bean. The rice cake were nice and warm and chewy. Like mochi. They give a fair amount of red bean, and sesame ice cream was good, but like the ones from hime in a tub.
Next time I would like to try their black diamond roll. It looks very interesting with foie gras, eel and other ingredients.
When this place becomes more popular, the wait time might be longer as they have limited seats.
