Food - Standard sushi inventory from the Korean wholesale but the sushi guys make nice food out of it. Seafood options are pleasant and the Tuna Tataki is a pleasant surprise. Kaki Fry doesn't disappoint, but always beware the oysters' revenge as it is served super hot straight out of the fryer. Spicy set is quite spicy and an interesting combo of hand roll and maki. They do love mayo so be prepared.
Service - Get take out to avoid any issues unless it doesn't matter to you.
It's pricy enough to make me want better service if I eat in. I'll give a taste here: dirty table offered on arrival. Waitress interrupted herself taking our order 3x to help someone with take out (?) and to go shout at the sushi guys to see if they were out of 2 items we were interested in. Dirty plates left on the table the entire time. Beers not served with glasses until we got up to ask although they have the cool glass chiller. Although my glamourous mom may look like a hipster, she is in her 70s and has never touched a beer bottle with her lips in her lifetime. I really shouldn't have to convince you to give me a beer mug. Water took 3x asking. And snatching the soy sauce away while we were still eating was bizarre.
Sneers throughout. Restaurant not busy. She seemed to be wearing comfortable shoes, unclear what was going on with the service. She finally sent over someone else to take our dessert order after getting up to ask (again). Abandoned debit machine on the table and left us.
The score is really for the food. We've eaten here before and the food has improved a lot. But the service was odd and pretty terrible. This neighbourhood is packed with folks who love to eat out. I was honestly surprised by the uneven service.
If they work on improving the service it could knock the two other nearby restaurants and the T&T Loblaws sushi counter off the list permanently. And lady? I'm normally a very generous tipper. And we eat out a lot. Save your scorn for after I pay and leave.
