| - I really like this place. REALLY like it.
LOCATION: A little north of Guy Concordia metro (the exit/entrance on St. Mathieu, not the one on Rue Guy). It's hidden to the right-hand side of the street, at the corner. Look up.
ATMOSPHERE: It's like a mom and pop sushi shop. They're Korean, which for me is a step up from Chinese because they don't tend to skimp / use the cheapest cuts to make a meal like in many other Chinese-run Japanese sushi shops. It's very tiny with maybe about 10 tables in total at the back. There are also stairs, so if you have a stroller or something, forget it.
Very clean, too, which is something I look for.
QUALITY: It's OK sushi. I wouldn't say it's high-end sushi grade fish but it is not bad, and pretty decent quality (fresh) for the price.
It was also pre-cut slices of fish.. so don't expect to see a block of it and someone slicing it to order.
PRICE: Very VERY reasonable. I paid about $15 for a chirashi bowl that had 2 pieces of:
Salmon
Tuna
Eel
Clam
White Fish
Shrimp
Squid
Scallop (!!!!!!!!) I LOVE raw, fresh scallop. So sweet and delicious.
And a good dollop of seaweed salad (wakame salad).... but there wasn't enough rice. I will order an extra bowl of rice next time.
That is a LOT of raw seafood for the price considering that most places tend to put egg and fake crab on there to bring the costs down. I was very pleasantly surprised to get scallop in there (my FAVOURITE raw seafood to eat) considering the price.
I also got the Kalbi meal which is short rib and found it disgustingly sweet. I don't think that's what the ribs are supposed to be like, but that's what I got. He really went heavy on the teriyaki sauce and.. blearrrgh it ruined my delicious chirashi meal. I should have just stuck to sushi.
To top it off, he also gave me a snack pack of Seaweed Snax (OMG SO GOOD) I love toasted seaweed so this is a bonus.
I'm taking off a star for these reasons:
The Kalbi was awful. Being that he is Korean I was surprised it was so awful. Meat was too thin, overcooked, oversauced, too sweet and too salty all at the same time. A real waste of $16. I should have gotten a second chirashi bowl or more rice.
Service is slow but that's to be expected because it was ONE GUY cooking, running the till and serving customers... Hire someone else, please!!!
I wasn't a fan of that weird mayonnaise and crab piece dollop mixture that was in the chirashi bowl. I am going to ask them to not give that to me the next time and give me more seaweed salad or something.
The rolls and maki combos sounded awful.. I hate it when they add tempura flakes in there, mayonnaise, or fake crab. If I see ANY of those 3 items in a roll I refuse to order / eat it, because it's just.. yuck. Totally disgusting.
He forgot my miso soup :( I don't know if he forgot to put it in the bowl OR he gave me the Seaweed Snax pack instead of the soup.. but either way, I wanted the soup and didn't get it.
Overall I WILL BE BACK. I am so pleased to have found a decent quality (note: NOT high end sushi) for the price, and I am salivating over eating some more raw scallop.
