I went here with my husband who is a fanatic for "authentic" anything. He wanted to eat at the sushi bar and have the tasting menu so he gets one piece at a time. You can probably pick out his review. Personally, I love Japanese food but I don't really care much for sushi or sashimi. I liked the menu at their old location in Scarborough, but when they moved they dropped most of the things I liked in favor of all sushi/sashimi with a few hot appetizers. :-( So while he had the tasting menu, I got a selection of appetizers for my meal. First I got the kuro-ton, which was basically a tonkastu made with Berkshire pork and served with the traditional katsu sauce. This was one of the better tonkatsu I have had, although a place down in Pensacola, Florida, still takes first place. Next was the gindara saikyo yaki which was grill black cod marinated in miso which was quite good. Finally, was the tempura which was a very nice selection of veggies and a couple of shrimp. The veggies included pumpkin, yam, eggplant, lotus root, snow peas, and shitake mushrooms along with the traditional dipping sauce. This was probably some of the best tempura I have had.
Would I go back? Probably since my husband will want to and I will go with him. Would I go on my own? Probably not because they really are more focused on sushi and sashimi which I don't care much for.
