Situated at one of the busiest intersection, Kennedy and Steeles, this Korean/Japanese restaurant is tucked inside a small plaza behind the gas station. I don't come as often as I would like because parking here (a narrow lot with one way in/out onto Kennedy) drives me nuts but of the few times I've been here, food has been tasty and consistent. Service has been friendly every time too!
Their rolls are larger than the typical rolls at Scarborough sushi locations and my favorites here are Kennedy roll and Mountain roll. In my most recent visit with a friend, we shared the takoyaki balls and salmon lovers set. The 6 takoyaki balls were nicely laid out on a bamboo leaf and served very hot with a large piece of octopus inside. As for the salmon lovers set, sashimi was very fresh and filling. Perfect for sharing! The presentation of their food such as this lovers set was beautiful (although the artificial aquarium plant sitting next to the sashimi did repulse me a bit..).
Good presentation starts with good preparation. When I see that the chef has prepped the dish with great effort, I'm tasting not only the flavors but his/her dedication toward their job/skill/passion what have you. Kudos to these chefs who remain passionate about sushi making!
Overall reasons why I think Nichiban Sushi4u deserves 4 stars:
-taste/quality has been consistent and delicious
-food presentation is just as essential as the taste and this place has proven to me that they take pride and time in creating their dishes to make them look attractive and appetizing
