| - This Spring Rolls is located in Fairview Mall. However, you cannot access the restaurant from inside the mall, you can only access it from the exterior. (There is also a Spring Rolls To Go in the food court, but this review is not for that, it's for the actual restaurant).
I was here recently with a girlfriend of mine. We were there for lunch on a Sunday and while it was busy we got a seat right away without reservations.
They had a weekend brunch buffet for $16.99 but we decided that we didn't want the buffet, so we ordered from their menu.
I ordered from the lunch a la carte menu and got the salmon with rice. (I'm pretty sure that the menu said it was $9.99 but when the bill came they charged me $11.99 for it. The bill said "salmon with rice" so I'm sure they didn't punch it in incorrectly. We wanted to leave and I didn't want to quibble over 2 bucks, so I just paid it). The salmon was nicely grilled and came with a mango salsa sauce (you also had the choice of teriyaki sauce). It also came with a few pieces of broccoli and a piece of red pepper. The broccoli was nice and crisp, not mushy at all. The red pepper was too soft for my liking, but it was ok. It also came with some jasmine rice, which I felt was nicely done, although some might have found it on the dry side.
My friend had the veggie explosion sushi roll (mango, avocado, asparagus and sweet potato tempura roll), but she didn't want the sweet potato tempura on top, she wanted to substitute avocado for the sweet potato. Initially our server was hesitant and unsure if that would be ok, but in the end they made the substitution and they didn't charge her any extra for it. She said the roll was good.
Our server re-filled our waters several times without being prompted (I had regular ice water, but my friend requested hot water, and they even refilled her hot water from one of those hot water carafes for tea).
Overall, I was pleased with the meal. My dish was not as oily or greasy as I would have expected from a chain restaurant. I felt that the calibre of the food is much better than the average chain restaurant. I would go back.
