| - Headline: Someone to take the throne away from Prince? Read on to find out (or just skip to bottom) :-)
So after careful consideration, I finally decided to try this place after the demise of AYCE Sushi in Square One, the discontinuation of AYCE at Spring Rolls and the bad service at 168 and the weird decision of Prince not to open for lunch on weekends (weird - as they could get so much business from this)/
Summary of likes: iPad menu with pictures of everything, fresh fish, curry is good, decent decor. Decent service, huge menu (Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese). The food quality doesn't feel "heavy", which is great for AYCE.
Summary of dislikes: A bit too much rice on the sushi, but not unexpected for an AYCE place. Slightly expensive for weekend lunch $16.99 - I was expected around $15.99. Normal weekday lunch price is $14.99, which is on par.
Food order:
APPS
Miso soup - very good. Not excessively salty.
Kimchi salad - Had good overall taste, not spicy, but seemed a bit too refrigerated.
Flying Fish egg salad - cucumbers, fish eggs and mayo. I've never seen this before, but it was very tasty.
Crispy tofu - nicely fried but bland.
ENTREE'S/MAINS
Sushi - Had salmon, mackerel, tuna, eel, snapper, tobiko. All the sashimi was very fresh. fresh but excessive rice. It was still very good though. Expected for an AYCE joint. Only thing I didn't like was the flying fish roe (tobiko).
Atlantic Salmon - very fresh, but bland. Didn't feel like teriyaki taste but more just lemon zest infused.
Red curry tofu - OMG! this was the friggin best curry I've had at an AYCE joint. The curry had a nice thickness to it and was definitely handmade like the menu says.
Pad Thai - not authentic but not ketchupy like spring rolls. Nice sweet egg flavour to it. I also think it didn't have MSG in it, which is great.
Green dynamite roll - wow so good - I think they topped it off with some type of mango puree or something.
Golden California roll - meh, it's alright, but I'd skip it.
Dessert:
Red bean and green tea Ice cream - melts in your mouth. Very nice
Mango pudding - it's alright. Nothing special
Verdict: It looks like Prince finally has a worthy competitor in Mississauga. Definitely worth a try - so 4.5/5
Note - do not take debit - only Visa, MasterCard or cash
