Read moreI've been to this restaurant since it first opened a few years ago. My experiences have always been positive and the food is great! I've eaten in and also ordered takeout. Make sure you bring cash with you as it is 10% off. Sushi Pizza - I've tried the salmon, the tuna & salmon, and the unagi. All 3 sushi pizzas are amazing. You can't go wrong with sushi pizza to share as an appetizer! Salmon Lover Combo (lunch) - My go-to if I am craving fresh raw salmon and I am hungry. The meal is huge and I always feel pleasantly stuffed afterwards. Spicy Beef (lunch) - Quite salty so I don't think I will order this dish again. Chicken Teriyaki (dinner) - Not my favourite as there are other great options. Salmon Teriyaki with Sushi and Maki or with Tempura - The lunch bento portion is perfect when I'm hungry and it tastes amazing. Salmon Teriyaki (dinner) - The dinner portion is almost double to salmon and the price is great! I can't finish the dinner portion by myself so it's great for sharing and also for leftovers! Spicy Bulgogi Dinner - I recommend this for those who want a spicy beef option. It's quite salty so I mix in the rice in the hot plate to balance the saltiness. Sashimi Dinner - The seafood and the sushi rice at this restaurant are amazing! Aburi Love Boat - This is for 2 people. Sometimes, if we don't feel like having the tray, we will order this and then add another meal. I highly recommend this. Spicy Yaki U-Don - This was decent. If you are craving for noodles, this might satisfy the craving for you. I found the dish slightly too salty. I've ordered the trays a few times for takeout and they've always been very generous and prompt. It comes of soup and salad. TIP: Use the residual salad dressing to mix the daikon radish garnish and the kale. It's amazing! Most people forget or ignore the garnishes but they are fresh and...
Read moreHonestly, I am very disappointed, was very good reviews, which now I can honestly assume it's all employees reviews. The food - we had the small Maki set, comes on a boat, not a single was from fresh fish, (we asked the waitress she said California Roll, Dynamite Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll etc. All very famous fresh fish rolls). We received ground up "fish/crab" which I bet came out of a can, everything was oily and deepfried, one set of rolls was oily sweet potato roll, shrimp was frozen and microwaved, very bland, greasy and texture-less. 35 Pieces, not a single fresh piece of fish to be seen - for the first time EVER we left sushi rolls behind as we almost puked and spat some of them out (we're not picky, it was honestly that bad). Service was friendly but doesn't know anything about the menu, she had to read the menu on our table for 2 minutes to find and point out what "Red Hood Roll" is, which is offered in half their dinner specials... After we felt so heavy, like coming back from a fast food joint.
Never again... If you want good, we LOVE Yutaka, same price but AMAZING food, but they were closed today due to a holiday...
