Yelp, I'm BACK! Living in a new city (from Richmond, VA to Richmond Hill, Ontario) and ready to check out ALL the best eats. My first stop was rewarding myself with some sushi after such a long move. I was in the area doing some shopping and decided to stop in the closest place, Ariake.
First off, this place is ADORABLE! It's teeny (about 7-8 tables), but on one side are private booths with curtains, so private and cute! Around 1 PM on a Saturday, it was pretty empty. I ordered four sushi rolls to go-- Tuna Avocado, Cherry Roll, Godzilla Roll and the Dancing Roll. Very tasty rolls with fresh ingredients. The specialty rolls are HUGE, so the value for the price is amazing. These are a more traditional Japanese roll, very simple ingredients, and flavors, letting the fresh fish shine as the star; they are loosely rolled (not super tight). The rice is perfect, has just the right chew to it.
Overall, great value for the money, tasty sushi. Not the best I've EVER had, but certainly worth visiting again. I will definitely be trying more sushi spots around the area for comparison's sake. I would also come here to dine in at one of the cute private booths, perfect for a date night!
