| - This meal was a real treat. The atmosphere was trendy and open, for some reason I expected a small traditional-looking Japanese restaurant. Service was knowledgeable and relaxed, which is good for a fancy resto. We went for the omakase dinner (so we didn't know the price until the end). First off, a venison tataki accompanied by a plethora of fresh ingredients like pickled onions, nori chips, and sprouts made a great appetizer. Second, grilled cod in dashi broth. Listen up, this was THE BEST cooked fish I've even had in my life. Smooth, mellow flavour, lightly crisp skin with a slight sweetness. I can't stress enough how mind blowing this cod was! AMAZING. Next, we had a few specialty maki rolls. They were very innovative and delicious, but I found the rolls a bit overkill with all the flavours and ingredients. Then we got a sushi and sashimi board. The sushi and sashimi selection was very unique: flying fish, char, Japanese mackerel, red snapper, chicken grunt fish, and toro. Super fresh! To end everything off, we got the passion coco dessert. Tart yogurt panna cotta, toasted coconut ice cream, passionfruit jelly...it was pure heaven. My boyfriend couldn't take the sourness but I loved it.
Anyways, the food itself deserves a solid 5, but the price just really hits hard. For a student like me, the revisit value is very low, as we shelled out about $120 per person. Really not sure if the ingredients and labour was worth that money. Came out thinking: "Did we really just spend $16 on two small pieces of toro?" Yes. Yes we did.
