The Aburi Room is very aesthetically pleasing with their fake ivy wall decor, grey leather seats and white surroundings. The food is equally as aesthetically pleasing however, not as pleasing when it comes to taste.
Aburi Plate ($52)
We were given everything as said on the menu except the otoro (fatty tuna). The cuts of fish were of good quality but the undercooked/cold rice and the heavy handed-ness of the wasabi ruined it. Something that I've always noticed with omakase is the temperature of the rice. It may not be important to some people but for someone who's tried a few other omakase experiences, I expected the rice to be warm and definitely not undercooked.
I would recommend this place if you're craving aburi sushi and are not able to go downtown. Their ebi oshi is worth a try! They do it quite similar to a lot of places with the basil cream sauce.
Another thing that kind of irked me was that they didn't offer us tea but that's definitely my own personal preference!
