| - A great place with a lot of potential. The biggest issue I feel holding this place back is the location. Beeton. Yikes but I am confident in saying that this is the best sushi bar around the area. Not AYCE.
This place has been in Beeton for just under 4 months now and is really just beginning to get a decent clientele. It is Korean run and the owner goes out of his way to please. He actually came to check on us more often than our waitress did. The place is beautifully decorated with hardwood floors, leather chairs, a couple of TVs and Japanese decorations and photos around. I didn't actually look around and count but the restaurant seats approximately 36 nicely and has a waiting area that seats 9 comfortably. Because of the location, I doubt parking will ever be an issue but who knows, it could happen.
The service: Well, the actual waitress wasn't super helpful. I kind of felt like she was there for her pay check and was doing the bare minimum. "Can I start you with drinks?, What will you be having? Here you go. You're welcome. Water? etc." However, as stated above, the owner goes out of his way to make sure you're enjoying your meal, is super friendly and wants to make sure you have a good time there.
The food: We got the spicy salmon maki, spicy tuna no rice hand roll wrapped in rice paper instead of nori then got the 18 piece sashimi set and finished with green tea Mochi (deep fried ice cream). Word of warning, it's too much food. The maki alone was gigantic compared to other sushi joints. See pictures but the spicy salmon maki (6 pieces) was beautifully plated and was larger than the norm. The spicy tuna no rice hand roll was also huge and very filling. That being said I felt the whole thing offered a strange texture and dipping into soy sauce became awkward as the filling slips out (need that rice to give it more structure). One criticism I felt up to this point in the meal was that the way they prepare the spicy tuna/salmon, it seems they add a bit more panko to the mixture so fish in those orders are a bit smaller in comparison to their larger sizes. Still, they are delicious and I love that they don't serve these orders with the spicy mayo besides the mayo in the mix. You really taste the spicy concoction more without the mayo in my opinion.
Next the sashimi platter: Fish is fresh and I would like to attempt to take a stab at which fish is served but I don't know all the names but here goes: 6 salmon, 1 shrimp, 1 snapper, 3 white tuna, 3 pink tuna, 2 of another white fish and 2 of something else that was seared on the outside (white fish). The platter is served with white radish, a clam shell with a nice design with the pickled ginger, thin sliced carrots all on a banana leaf. It was overall a nice presentation.
The Mochi icecream: at this point I was beyond full. Ice cream tasted fine but the outer batter, well, if you love butter you'll love this. You can literally taste it and it is just amazing with the ice cream.
Pricing: My only real criticism are the prices. Most items are what you expect but sushi pizza $10.95? What's up with that? It better be gigantic! They offer a large list of appetizers, lunch specials, bento boxes, a la carte menu, classic Korean fair (Donkatsu, Kalbi, etc), various wines, sake, a couple Japanese beer brands, house specials and of course sushi. If you're smart about what you want, you don't have to blow your wallet. Fore some of the special rolls you may have to pay a couple extra bucks but the sizes are bigger than the norm and the quality is much better than say the other sushi option in New Tecumseth.
No question, I will be back again but this time I want to try some other options to get a more broad view of the menu. For now, I will highly recommend this place especially for the locals.
