| - Nice place for sushi in Markham. A bit pricey but lots of good sushi places are these days. First time trying it on a weekday lunch.
The dining atmosphere was nice but also busy and loud. It was the middle of a packed lunch rush, but there were a few tables available when my friend and I walked in. We were seated promptly at a corner table, which was both cozy but also right by the doorway. This became an issue only when other diners left and we could feel the closing door's vibrations against our table. It wasn't too bothersome though.
Service was pretty good. Servers were polite and efficient. They did forget my request for an iced water without lemon but quickly corrected it. There were call buttons to request service at each table, which was a nice touch.
The food was really good. My friend and I both ordered sashimi lunch combos, which each came with a side of miso soup and starter salad. I had the Salmon Lover Sashimi Combo ($19) and my friend got the Assorted Sashimi Combo ($17). Each lunch combo came with 9 pieces of raw sashimi, glass noodles, and 2 sushi rolls (3-4 pieces). My dish also came with salmon teriyaki while my friends had a single portion of white rice. I found the sashimi to be very fresh and tasty, however my friend found the sashimi on his plate to be lacking in flavour. After trying some of my salmon sushi, he concluded that the sashimi on his plate and my plate were from two different cuts, with mine being the fresher batch. Other than the freshness of the sashimi, we found the rest of the items in our combos to be delicious.
Overall, a nice place for sushi, albeit a bit pricey. They offer a lot of variety in their menu, with numerous lunch combo options, udon soups, Sushi rolls and even oysters. Will be back to try their sushi rolls and udon soups next!
