| - The guys who work here are really great with their customers. My takeout took 10 minutes longer than estimated, and they gave me egg rolls while they caught up, and then sent me home with more egg rolls.
I LOVE their hand rolls. The fish is perfectly seasoned and I believe they blend tempura bits in giving it a lovely crunch. Their fish to rice ratio is so generous, too. I'm not a big fan of California rolls, but their version as a hand roll is beautiful and eye catching.
I found their rice in the sushi rolls to be a little bit harder than I'd like it, the edges were quite crisp compared to my usual sushi place. Then again, I'm picky and would still order here again.
One flaw, I really disliked the tempura vegetables and shrimp. This is always my go to appetizer and this place really failed it. I don't like their choice of batter as it's a bit thin and hard, and the tempura sauce that comes with it is sweet, which is just... wrong. The vegetables that come with it is a bit odd, like two string beans.
The indoors are beautiful with unique seating, and would be a lovely place to eat in. The tables did smell a little strange however.
I hold this location to the same standards as I would a place in Toronto, so while I did like this place I have too many criticisms to give more than 3 stars. While I won't be ordering the tempura again, I will order a hand roll any day as they've almost perfected it. So good!
