| - Finally got to try this high-end sushi restaurant! The dining room is essentially one long rectangular box, with a sushi bar on one side and tables on the other side. My friend has been to JaBistro several times before, so I entrusted him to order! We got the sashimi platter, aburicious sushi, JaBistroll, wagyu oshizushi, and agedashi.
The sashimi platter came first, with about 25 pieces of fish. There was salmon, scallops, hamachi, wagyu beef, and sweet shrimp, and two types of tuna to name a few. The fish tasted so fresh and cold when it was served. My personal favourites were the wagyu beef and the fish was blowtorched (unfortunately forget what it was called). We got two different kinds of soy sauce to accompany the sashimi- one was their homemade sweet soy sauce (which I loved!) and the other was a traditional soy sauce (more on the salty side).
The aburicious sushi and JaBistroll came next. I liked the creaminess of the salmon oshizushi, but my favourite has got to be the ebi oshizushi! The tiger shrimp, alongside the blowtorched flavour and topped with mayo made that sushi taste fantastic. The JaBistroll reminded me of the Miku Roll. They're actually made of the same ingredients (salmon, crab, uni, cucumber, and tobiko), so they looked and tasted very similar.
Because I liked the wagyu beef sashimi so much from the platter, we ordered an additional wagyu oshizushi. Unfortunately, it didn't taste as good as a sushi- I think the taste of the beef was masked in this form.
Finally, the agedashi was quite heavy and a lot more filling than anticipated. It came with 4 pieces of deep-fried oyster, which were very juicy and meaty, 2 pieces of deep-fried eggplant, and 2 pieces of deep-fried scallion. At the bottom of the dish was stock made from kelp (kombu) to add a nice hint of flavour.
Service was excellent- the waiters and waitresses were all very friendly, an explained what each dish contained as they were served. They also continuously refilled our water, which I appreciate, since I drink a lot! Would definitely come back here again. :)
