New sushi joint in Scarborough with aburi and pressed sushi? Yes! Sign me up!
With aburi style sushi and pressed sushi being such a rarity in Scarborough, I just had to try out Roll N Bowl, and can say that the stuff is good here!
We started with the spicy salmon wakame salad and really enjoyed it. It's essentially spicy salmon on seaweed salad and lettuce, with a citrus based vinegrette. Everything worked wonderfully.
The pressed sushi was also excellent - I went with the beef here and the beef was tender and was melt in your mouth (all of their aburi sushi were). There's quite a bit of spicy mayo and I wished the jalapeno came through a bit more, but it was still excellent.
We went with the fantastic, white dragon, and legend dynamite special rolls here and I was really impressed with the fantastic and white dragon. I think it was the garlic mayo sauce which was so creamy and just brings together everything so well. I also thought the cherry tomatoes on the fantastic roll was interesting. The legend dynamite didn't do anything for me. Again, I wish I could taste the jalapeno. I would say the inside of the rolls were fairly standard (i.e. California/dynamite) but at least all the fillings were fresh!
Service was friendly and you get a cool stamp card at the end of your meal (thanks for rewarding returning customers!) Overall, I was impressed with roll n bowl and it's definitely a welcome addition to the Scarborough sushi scene.
