| - Decent sushi place! Always drove by but never went... until last weekend for the first time with 4 other friends for lunch on Saturday.
ATMOSPHERE: Big dining room, and with a number of smaller private dining rooms with sunken seating to provide a different experience.
I love the hilarious cat posters where a cat is dressed up in Japanese costume and scenarios. Complete random, but entertaining.
SERVICE: Good service. Very accommodating to our group of 5 people. Since it was a Saturday afternoon, it had steady flow of diners, and so sometimes the service was not as quick, but overall very receptive to requests & needs.
PRICE: Average. As expected for such a bubble tea restaurant.
FOOD: I agree with the other reviews that their sushi pizza, and rolls are good. The sushi pizza, unexpectedly, has a lot of avocado on it - which was a nice surprise. It made for a great mix of textures - which is what I like in a sushi pizza.
For rolls, we had the Lobster Roll (it tasted good but couldn't really taste the lobster well...) and the Giant Dragon Roll (the better of the 2 rolls for sure). I'd like to come back and try the other rolls!
We also got two another appetizers: the grilled calamari and the kalbi. I didn't get to sample the kalbi (it only had 3 pieces and there were 5 of us), but the grilled calamari was great! Highly recommend that calamari: the texture was nice (dense but not too chewy) and had a tasty teriyaki sauce. The portion was also fair.
And finally, we shared the medium sashimi platter/boat. It had all the standard fish on it. Everything was good. Not amazing like Hinote or other fancier places in Toronto. But I'd choose this place over other Mississauga options like Sushi Tei.
This is super close to a frequent destination - so I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
