Sashimi Sushi — Restaurant in Coquitlam

A group of us decided to try take out from Sashimi Sushi in place of our old favourite Sushi Koo, which is now under new ownership, and which has become much less affordable than it once was.

The online ordering process was straightforward, I was able to select a scheduled time for pick up and specify special instructions for the pick up, and I was provided with an order number upon completion.

The orders, to my knowledge, were all ready on time for pick up.

When one of the members of our group returned with the pick up order, there was a great deal of confusion, because though we each were provided order numbers online, those numbers did not match the order numbers printed on the slips in each of the bags. (It appeared that the order numbers on the printouts — 1, 2, 3, etc. — merely reflected which order was first, second, or third received for the day. And though each of us provided our names at the time of placing the order, our names did not appear on the printouts either.

The confusion aside, the food quality of my order was OK, but not great. I ordered a miso soup, a tuna and avocado, roll, and a negitoro roll. The fish in the negitoro roll was tough (not something I’ve experienced elsewhere with this roll) and the flavour was a bit strong. In two pieces of the tuna and avocado roll, I found I bit down on two hard bits that I believe were bone. (I get it. Fish have bones. It’s just not entirely pleasant to be digging around with your fingers in your mouth, trying l to locate a chunk of bone embedded in a glob of fish.)

Others in the group may have had a more positive experience of the food, but it wasn’t a winner...

Not impressed at all I ordered the veggie box which has a salad, and a veggie roll. The salad is lettuce, julienned carrots, and ginger dressing. The veggie roll is supposed to be a bunch of different vegetables. I’ve ordered it before, and it’s usually fine.I have a feeling that they ran out of vegetables for the veggie roll today, but rather than letting me know, they just took my money and made me a roll with the same lettuce and dressing as the salad. I mean I already ate the salad, why would I want it again in a roll? And also the roll is soggy and gross! Too bad I ordered it to go and I’m already at home otherwise I would’ve asked them for my...

Last time I visited Coquitlam, my friend took me to have sushi at Sashimi Sushi. The Sashimi Sushi is located at Mall's south gate near Scotia Bank. It's very small store with 4 middle size tables. My friend loves the sushi there, so she introduces me about this restaurant. We've ordered both Tariyaki Beef combo and Chicken Teriyaki combo. The Tariyaki Beef combo came with miso soup. The food taste was decent. Comparing with other sushi restaurants, this place is so-so. Nothing is different. The sushi there was very simple roll with poor quality. It's not very fresh. The miso soup is cold without tofu. The servers were friendly. The...
