Finally got to try this restaurant. A few months ago, my girlfriend and I walked past and it was full so we knew the food is good. I am Asian and I am highly acquainted with Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Singaporean, Malaysian and Indian cuisine. So for those folks that rated this place low, I challenged them. As in all restaurants, if you go when it’s busy, prepare to wait or move on and come back another day. Don’t rate the service.

They are a little pricey but I guarantee you it's worth it. I have been going here for 6 years now and they have kept...
Read moreI left a rather scathing review a few months ago. I went back today and was absolutely floored. The fish was delicious and sucullent, perfectly seasoned, tende, and the perfect just bellow room temp. temperature to release optimum flavour while maintaining that fresh bite. The rice was to die for, just the right blend of stickiness with no trace of mush. You could feel each tender grain rolling across your palate, press each one into the roof of your mouth. Service was spectacular as always, they serve delicious tea that's not watered down and the homemade salad dressing is a real treat. Like always sit at the sushi bar if you are on a first date so you have something to do if the conversation dies out. If you're with someone special get the table in the corner by the window for some...
