Came here with the BF for Valentines Day dinner. We made a reservation for 7pm earlier in the day, and they told us to be on time since it was a busy day. So we got there just before 7pm and when we told them we had a reservation, they said they didn't have our reservation. So after a few mins of back and forth, between the BF and the waitress, and than between the waitress with the owner, turns out there was a mix up and someone had taken our reservation, so we ended up taking theirs, and all was well. Except that exchange had left the BF in a bit of a sour mood. Especially seeing as after we were finally seated, we did not get any menus or tea for almost 10 mins. There was only one waitress serving the whole restaurant, and it was full house because of the occasion.
We didn't finish lunch until 3pm that day, so we were not too hungry. We debated for quite a while on what to get. The waitress had to come back multiple times before we were ready to order, but she seemed rather nice about it. Even I was starting to think I was annoying. Ha
The Valentines Roll - 9 pcs - California Roll topped with spicy salmon and shredded crunch potatoes along with Haru special sauces ($11.99) interested the BF and since it was Valentines day, we ordered said roll. Haha. The presentation of the roll looked really great. The flavour combination was also really great, but besides the crispy potato strings on top, which tended to fall off the roll before we got to eat it, the roll itself provided no other texture. So the taste was good, but didn't really wow us.
Spicy Salmon Rolls - 8 pcs ($5.99). We usually love spicy rolls, so we got an order of that to see if they were any good here. They were just average. We like when they mix actually tempera bits into the spicy salmon, to give it some texture. Here they sprinkle the almost powdered like tempura bits on top. The spicy salmon also wasn't spicy enough for our liking. I would put them just a tiny bit higher then the kind of spicy salmon roll you might get at an AYCE.
The Sushi, Sashimi & Roll Set A - Sushi 6 pcs, Sashimi 10 pcs & California roll 8 pcs ($22.99). The sashimi and sushi were a good size and tasted fresh. There were 5 different types of fish for the sashimi and a nice variety of fish for the sushi. The California rolls were just average. It again provided no texture so was kind of boring. So boring I actually had to fight the BF over who would need to finish the last 2 pcs of it.
Our meal was served with miso soup, salad, and ice cream. The miso soup was average. The salad had a slightly different dressing than usual with a bit of mango taste to it. The ice cream were the usually suspects. They were frozen hard so it was probably already pre-scooped.
A few mins after all our sushi and rolls arrived, the waitress brought over 4 pcs of fried gyoza on the house as service for the delay of the food coming out. I didn't really notice at the time how long it really took all the food to come out. When I looked back at my pics later, it took them about 10 mins to bring us the miso soup and salad. Our 2 rolls showed up one after the other about 15 mins later. And then it took another 20 mins for our set to come out.
When we asked for the bill. They brought over 2 small pink treat bags with chocolate in them for us. I noticed they gave those to all the couples who came for dinner. I thought this was a nice little touch on their part for a special occasion.
The service got better as the night went on as there were less tables to serve. Prices were alright, maybe a tiny bit more expensive than some of the other sushi places in the area, but still reasonable. The place was pretty small and didn't have a lot of tables. But seating was comfortable, and there was enough division between the tables to not feel like we were eating with the people at the next table. I would probably come back to try some more of their special rolls.
