| - This review is for a lunch experience. Food 4 stars. Overall value 4.5 stars.
This must be the best kept secret for lunch at Hwy 404 and Hwy 7 area.
I came for a Friday lunch. The 3 items (a rice, a Japanese stir fry noodle and a sushi/sashimi bento box) that we ordered were unreasonably cheap as per the quality. For reference, I would place the food quality of the lunch food here be a notch below Hibiki lunch, and a notch above Mi-Ne (Woodbine) lunch. But Tsuki's lunch is cheaper than both!
Tsuki Don $12 - my favourite of this meal. Purple rice with Teriyaki sauce, raw sashimi bites, fish roes, black sesame, seaweed and mayo. Very delicious, very sweet, very fresh. I don't regret the calories. This one can give Hibiki a run for its money.
Sushi/Sashimi Bento Box $13 - second favourite of the meal. Sashimi was very fresh and sufficiently creamy. Quality was below Hibiki yet on par, in my opinion, with Inatei lunch sashimi. Craftsmanship could be better as some slices were thicker, and some were thinner. Sushi were smaller pieces, meaning they were of traditional sizes. The fish slices on top of the rice were too thin. No wasabi in between. Other items in the box were tempura (good variety, meh quality), maki roll (good quality), and salad (no comment; didn't eat). Portion was generous for the price.
Yaki Soba $10 - I am not a fan of this one, because it was oily. Further, the noodle used was thin ramen not soba. Aside from these, it was an okay dish. The ramen was of good quality, and it tasted alright. Not too salty. The portion was generous for the price.
Place was quiet at Friday lunch hour. We got seated promptly. Server was friendly and, as Chris C stated, she was the only one running the show on floor. Background music was loud.
I already plan to return for another lunch, and maybe try their grilled food.
