| - A nice little sushi place on Lakeshore in the Clarkson area. Unlike some previous reviewers, I had no problem with service and the waitress was quite nice.
This place has a big menu and it will take you a while to decide. Took us about 10 minutes at least. For my order, I had the Kalbi Bento box. It was a large portion and I loved the shrimp and pumpkin tempura. They were both so crispy without being over battered. It also came with 4 pcs of sushi, salad and rice on the side. The sushi was pretty good and I liked the fact that it was mostly fish without a big chunk of rice below it. Salmon and red tuna were very fresh. I would give a 5/5 for this portion of the meal.
Okay, onto the main course - the kalbi. The meat was average, not too tender, but not too tough either. As for the taste, it tasted like BBQ and a had bit of a char taste. I don't mind that with some meats, however, it doesn't seem right with kalbi, as I think the natural meat and seasoning should cancel that out. It wasn't bad, but not spectacular either. Of course, the entire bento box was only $14, so I can't really expect that much. I'd give this portion a 3/5.
Overall, this is a nice, clean little sushi joint on the Lakeshore and worth trying. I would love to try to their rolls but we were both really full by then.
