I really wasn't feeling this place. Came here last week on a weekday night and had to wait around 30minutes for a table for two. Probably because of the new hype. Anyways service was really friendly, as expected for a new restaurant.
It's nice that we're getting more izakaya restaurants around the Markham/Scarborough area, but this place really doesn't compare to places like Guu.
Cons:
The black diamond roll is very hyped up as a must try. But my bf and I didn't like it at all. It was very expensive for what it is just because of the foie gras. The foie gras made the sushi roll taste very fat and oily, leaving a coat of grease in your mouth. The purple rice made the maki stiff, and the ingredients inside the roll is nothing different from your typical California roll. Not worth it's price. And I must mention that the cucumbers in the roll were very close to spoiling, and you can taste it in an instant by the texture, it wasn't crunchy but soft/ mushy. It was thinly sliced so maybe they thought people wouldn't notice.
Pros:
The sashimi platter was probably the best thing. Sashimi was fresh, fair portion size. The baked scallop was pretty good. Definitely order that over the baked oyster- I've had better baked oyster elsewhere. The Unagi pancake was really good as well to my surprise. Very crispy around the edges.
Glad I tried this place, but I most likely will not be coming back again.
