| - Inatei Japanese Cuisine is a gorgeous hidden gem located in Richmond Hill. I loved the zen like atmosphere upon walking in and was kindly greeted with a hot towel (which was perfect on a freezing day). The menu is very extensive, ranging from plenty of raw and cooked apps, to cooked entrees (bento boxes), to sushi entrees and rolls. It's a little pricy, but definitely worth the quality.
I had the 6 piece sushi and maki roll and was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't all your standard 6 pieces that you usually get. In fact, the only common pieces I can name are the salmon, tuna, and the shrimp. It also came with octopus and squid, which I've never seen in your standard 6 piece set (unless I'm a delusional NYer and this is standard in Toronto). All pieces were fantastic and so fresh. The maki roll was a spicy tuna roll, which was by far the best spicy tuna roll I've had in my life. I've read that spicy tuna rolls are the worst / cheapest thing to get because they're just chopping up the worst parts of tuna and disguising it in sauce. However, the tuna in this roll actually tasted super fresh. The tuna wasn't mushy either, so you can actually taste the texture of the tuna, which I loved. The entire meal was so good that I wish I ordered more!
Also loved how you get a cute tea kettle filled with green tea to sip on throughout your entire meal. On top of that, they bought out a complimentary dessert - soy milk pudding, which was good as well.
Regardless of if you're in Richmond Hill or not, I would definitely drive out here if you're craving sushi.
