This place is great! The guy who took our phone order was clear-spoken, professional, and polite. They're closed for dine-in and the pickup area was well blocked-off and their POS card terminal was connected to their register via a VERY long cord to maintain distance. They take COVID seriously here, every step of the way.
The food was terrific! We got tofu bento boxes, yakisoba noodles, and a side Veggie Dragon roll. A great value, $60 after tip for a REALLY hungry family of three... with plenty of leftovers to boot. Sweet! Everything was delicious and well-presented. Unbelievable how they managed to fry perfect slabs of lightly breaded tofu without it falling apart. Sauces were tasty and not too sweet, thick, or cloying.
The bento box is a great option. Two big slabs of tofu, three huge pieces of tempura with savoury dipping sauce, rice, edamame steamed in the pod, seaweed salad, four pieces of yam tempura roll, and soup. Wow. My one minor complaint? The miso soup was a bit on the salty side. Cut it with a little water or veggie broth and you're good to go.
This place is a cute family-owned sushi joint with fresh, delicious food, great portions, good prices, and respectful professional service. It's a great place to support, and a terrific place to grab your pandemic takeout sushi.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreFirst visit here in the summer of 2016 was good, enough so that a second visit occurred. Bad choice. The good: miso has good flavour; tempura and smelt fish are done in really hot oil and are really crunchy; sashimi was tasty. The bad: tuna tataki was paper thin and not good value; nigiri was tiny; daikon smelled extra farty; tea is not very tasty; steamed rice was hard/undercooked; service was abysmal for there being only two tables occupied. The ugly: the tobiko that I was served was spoiled. I lifted a piece of nigiri up to my mouth and thought I caught a whiff of garbage coming from the back - nope, that was the smell of the tobiko. This really grossed me out because the tobiko had been sprinkled on the sashimi and was in with the chopped scallop nigiri - things I'd already eaten. Time will tell if it makes me crap my pants. There will not be a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI ordered from here because our "regular" sushi place was closing when we were able to order. Well to my delight we discovered a fabulous gem! We ordered Dynamite, Spider and BC rolls and Calamari. It's not like the "regular" place it's wonderfully different and so good. The Calamari was made when we arrived to pickup to ensure the deep fried crunch. The presentation in the takeout containers was lovely and smelt delicious and fresh! Good selection of Japanese beverages along with usual drink fare. The only reason not a 5 star is because I haven't tried the other menu dishes but I am sure going to come back and order again very soon. Delightful and courteous service if even just for takeout as demonstrated by waiting until we arrived to do up the Calamari. Look forward to my...
