The food was good but I feel like the price does not justify it. $12 for 4 pieces of sushi is steep. The ebi oshi was good but it was mostly mayo. Our favourites were: champagne roll, ebi fritter, and sable fish. Would not recommend the eggplant nigiri, just got it because we were curious. The chutoro and scallop nigiri were also meh.

Service was not great. No one was rude but everyone felt disingenuous, especially our server. He did his role, but with [what I perceived as] disdain. It made me uncomfortable and put a huge damper on the night; I dreaded every interaction with him. Everyone has their days but this is not acceptable at a restaurant of this price point/calibre.

It’s been years since I’ve been here and coming back reminds me of why I haven’t been back. Nothing is amazing and the service doesn’t help.

I’ve been wanting to come for almost ten years and I was not disappointed. We arrived right at 5pm when they opened because we didn’t have a reservation. It’s opened by an old Japanese couple who run the restaurant by themself. Their $40 omakase is a bang for your buck. If you sit at a table you’re served the whole plate of omakase, but if you sit at the bar it’s one by one. We also tried a few other dishes and they were all pretty good. Really liked the plum shiso roll too, simple but fragrant. I need to try the chirashi don next time! Service is not very attentive given it’s just two people running the restaurant but they are nice. I want to come back again!

Affordable food with sizeable portions. The tuna kimbap and beef kimbap was huge! My favourite was the beef. The cold noodles was lacking something. The Korean sausage with pork rice and noodle was soft and chewy, I personally prefer it harder. My favourite thing was the bone broth that each table got - that’s something I’ll be coming back for! Overall, good portions and good price makes this a nice comfort food spot.

Edit: Got take out a few weeks later and still as good as dining in!

The deluxe sashimi platter was amazing! Got it for the first time and the quality was good, good quality for a good price. I’m picky about sunomono but I really enjoyed it here. Sushi rolls were pretty average.

This gallery is really small but I really enjoyed that. Entrance fee is by donation. There were 2-3 main photography exhibits and I loved them! The space is well-curated and we had a good time. Love the gift shop too :)
