This place closed for a while and has now re-opened for TAKE-OUT ONLY.
I really liked the cosy little restaurant and the yummy tea and fruit-infused water that was served with the meal. I'm going to miss eating there! I think I'll have to get takeout from here now that they're open again but I used to always eat in.
I'm not sure if the menu has changed much but everything I've ever tried is really great... fresh, beautiful sushi served up by some truly chipper and masterful sushi chefs (I love how all the kitchen staff would make a point of calling out 'hello' and 'goodbye/thank you' from the open kitchen. So warm and friendly).
I usually order rolls with salmon and tuna that melt in my mouth. I like ordering the more creative rolls because the layered flavours are usually really interesting, comforting (mayo and crumbled tempura batter!), and delicious to the point of being gorgeous. The chefs throw all kinds of interesting and unassuming ingredients that shine in the rolls and there are often some pretty tasty reductions/sauces on top. All of their rolls somehow balance being pretty and artful while packing sumptuous flavour and gratifying portions. Yea! I usually just order a few rolls, my friends and companions have ordered the starters and I've tried them.. and it seems like the starters are kindof like little snacks centered on satisfying cravings for a particular flavour/food and don't really 'wow' me. Particularly the grilled/steamed tofu or coconut tempura shrimp, I've found both to be very tasty in their simplicity but unremarkable.
I like how creative/cheeky the menu can get with some Japanese/Canadian fusion offered. I ordered some pickled veggie rolls one time and some of them came with dill pickles paired with avocado. It was surprisingly delicious. Also the baked beet salad.. with mango, pine nut, goats cheese, and balsamic- surprising, refreshing, and lovely with sushi to follow. The menu seems to change with new ideas and availability of ingredients and there are always specials based around fresh seafood, which is the mark of a truly great sushi place/any great seafood restaurant. Overall, everything is extremely reasonably priced for the quality.
Try this place, you will love it.
