| - Kotta Restaurant. I have to admit, you're growing on me.
I work in the neighbourhood, and I've been to Kotta for lunch several times now. The food is high-quality. The atmosphere is pleasant. The service is warm and generally efficient, although they can get busy during the lunch rush hour from 12:00pm - 1:00pm. They often take a while to bring you the bill - I've had to request it on more than one occasion after waiting around for several minutes.
The first time I went, I ordered the Assorted Sashimi, which was very good, but a little overpriced at $17.95. I love sashimi, but I never find it filling enough to satisfy my hunger on its own - I'm usually hungry again 2-3 hours later.
However, they have one dish that keeps me coming back: the Salmon Teriyaki special. This is a truly excellent dish and very well priced at $12.95. The salmon is flaky and delicious, accompanied with a very rich teriyaki sauce. It's served with miso soup (hot, flavourful, and plenty of tofu pieces), rice (delicious, sticky), steamed vegetables (good, but sometimes a bit soggy), and a dynamite roll. The dynamite roll is so good; however, that it deserves its own paragraph.
What can I tell you about this dynamite roll? I'm sure you've had plenty of other dynamite rolls before, right? What makes this one so special, you ask? Well, it starts with the freshness of the ingredients in the roll. Creamy avocado, crunchy shrimp tempura, and mayo, all wrapped up together in one truly awesome roll of maki sushi. This roll is incredible. I'm not sure I'm even doing enough justice to it here. You should probably just order it for yourself.
In summary, this is a superb dynamite roll with a sushi restaurant attached to it.
