Burnaby’s Overhyped "Best Sushi"? | STEM Japanese Cuisine Review
📍 STEM Japanese Restaurant 🏠 Location: [Insert address if known] ⏰ Verdict: "Ceiling"? More like mid-tier flooring. 🍣 WHAT WE TRIED 1. Otoro (Fatty Tuna) – ⚠️ Skip • Disappointing – Lacked buttery richness (Tsukiji’s version ruined us) • Pricey for mediocre quality 2. Uni Shot – 🌊❓ • Oceanic funk – Freshness questionable, mild ammonia aftertaste • Better alternative: Try Tetsu’s uni pasta instead 3. Pumpkin Croquette – 🌟 Surprise Win • Crispy outside, creamy inside – Sweet-savory balance • MVP of the night – Who knew? 4. Tamagoyaki (Egg Roll) – 😋➡️😑 • First bite: Fluffy, slightly sweet perfection • By third piece: Eggy overload (needed wasabi pickle chaser) 💡 REAL TALK ✔ Not terrible, but nowhere near "best in Burnaby" ✔ Best for: Quick sushi fix if nearby ✖ Avoid if: You’re a toro snob or uni purist #OverhypedEats #BurnabySushi #ManageYourExpectations
