| - Dined with family. Menu is definitely unique, some items I've never seen before - at Kinjos and other Japanese restaurants, and I've known and eaten Peter's food since ... well, before 2000.
We were short on time, but I was assured by the rest of our party that they would be able to feed us promptly and we would be out of there in an hour. While I rather enjoy savouring my sushi, sake and company dining out at Japanese establishments, sometimes you just have to eat and get going. Thankfully, I was not misled.
Service was attentive, food wicked fast and fresh. Those two don't always go together. (I *hate hate hate* pre-made sushi). Thankfully, the folks on the sushi line are popping them out as fast as we could order
Some birthdays and special occasions were celebrated while we were dining, lots of fanfare with all the staff participating. Thank goodness they don't make you wear the robe and hat any more! It's an atmosphere thing. There are worse things.
We didn't have a reservation, but at 5pm on a Monday... probably don't need one. I must say that every dish we ordered was very good quality meat. The sashimi platter for $19 had large, meaty slices of tuna and salmon, a scallop, and I think there was hamachi as well as properly cooked tako - and I've eaten a lot of awful octopus to get to this nicely steamed morsel. The daikon and cucumber slices were a really welcome layer on the dish too - so many sushi places have been cheating me of one of my favourite vegetables. I know it's expensive, but it's worth it, I want it! The negitoro pieces were great, we also had some grilled scallops that I wasn't sure I could eat - but the others at our table were pleased with the quality of the dish.
They also offer the soy wrap for cones. Interesting, and not seen very often. Even my nephew likes it, and that's saying a lot.
We also had gyoza, chop chop, California roll and rainbow roll. While the size of the rolls was a bit disappointing (I've had more substantial rolls), they were ok sized and tasty.
My nephew also ordered the ice cream pear for dessert. I hear it's sourced locally from Amato Gelato. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a shot before the whip cream melted and the lovely presentation was destroyed. He enjoyed it immensely. We were also greeted with the traditional send off gift of Pocky.
Thao B. Does have some good points, but when I've had as much lousy sushi around the province for the same or more money... I pick Peter's.
According to the rest of the party, it's busy at this location, not only because of the quality, but because of the scarcity of Japanese food in the NW. We'll be back.
