Wow, I have to say when I approached this place from the outside I did not expect the fantasticness that awaited me inside. The place looked like it was freshly painted. It looked really nice, the seats were comfortable, and the distance between the tables was great and left enough room for my fat butt to fit between the tables without knocking over cutlery when heading to the bench.
Our server was delightful. She was really sweet, and although she had a bit of tunnel vision and seemed to only be able to concentrate on one thing at a time, she was still really friendly and deserved the big tip that she got.
The food... well that was pretty decent for sushi in this city. There are only a few sushi places I can count that I actually would return to. The best roll we got was the sweet potato tempura roll. It was delicious. The sushi pizza was also very good, I don't know what it was but the sauce that was on it was delicious! It sorta reminded me of.. you know when you order fried chicken that comes with a white peppercorn gravy.. it sorta reminded me of that delicious gravy! Yummy! I was a little saddened by the green dragon roll only because it said it was avocado on shrimp tempura but when we got it it had crab it in as well, and I don't like crab. They need to improve the information on their menu a bit if this is the case. On the other hand, their menu selection was HUGE!! It was like two restaurants in one. They had both Japanese and Thai food. Huge amounts of options and everything sounded really good. We got a couple of their desserts as well, the coconut sticky rice with mango which was delicious, and the fried banana with ice cream. YUM! Now I'm gonna lie and say the food is gourmet, but honestly it was very good for a local sushi place. Oh, and another thing about the sushi that I really like was that their rice was a good temperature. There is nothing that I hate more when ordering sushi that cold rice. Yuck! If I wanted cold rice sushi I would pick up sushi from the grocery store. Ew!
Best part, the guava candies that come with your bill, which are my favourite!
Anyway, check it out!
TOTALLY RECOMMEND!
