Service affable efficace (eau glacée ne manque pas). Sushis préparés sur place par les chefs visibles , i.e. sushis ne sortant pas du réfrigérateur (fait contraste avec sushis commerciaux des grandes surfaces genre Kimko). Abondance de choix dans les nombreux menus différents étalés sur la table. Bière en bouteille servie décapsulée hors vue. Vraies serviettes. Pas de nappe sur les tables. Escalier à gravir (le restaurant est perché à un étage sur le coin de rue CDN Ed. Montpetit). En entrant: aquarium sans plante (vivier probable) contenait un gros poisson tout seul, tristounet. Choix de table en terrasse ou en intérieur climatisé. Décor minimaliste dont un grand miroir à droite en entrant permettant d'observer ce qui passe derrière soi dans la salle: une douzaine de personnes à 18h40 un jeudi début août. Pas de musique d'ambience (aiderait). Parking facile via parcomètres sur CDN dès 18h30 (environ $7/2h) . Près U de M, OSJ JGH, HSJ & SMH & Métro CDN. Poulet Kantsu, Salade orchidée, Platter combo sushi (avec soupe miso) & Tempura légumes crevettes, 2 bières, 2 sodas totalisèrent avec taxes CAD$114 (tip en sus) pour 2 personnes. Bon rapport qualité prix, roboratif: 1 doggie bag rapporté pour une pesonne à la maison.
the food was okay.. not too good not too bad the food is also VERY OVERPRICED.. 4 shrimp tempura for 10 dollars is OUTRAGEOUS . i went to eat here & the service was very slow & most of the time no one came to serve us & on top of that the old lady that worked forced me & my boyfriend to tip even though it was only the 2 of us. i am very disappointed in that, especially when there is only the 2 of us & no one came to serve is most of the time
Living in Japan for 10 years, This teriyaki chicken won't transport you to the bustling streets of Tokyo, but for a dependable weekend meal, it hits the mark. The teriyaki sauce, while leaning a bit on the sweet side, offers a pleasant balance of savory notes, making it broadly appealing. You won't find the nuanced depth of more authentic preparations, but it coats the chicken nicely without being overwhelming.
Teriyaki Vegetables: A Mixed Bag
the teriyaki vegetables & while the flavor profile was decent, the execution left something to be desired,
The main issue was the texture of the vegetables. They were unfortunately overcooked, resulting in a soggy consistency that lacked any satisfying bite. It felt as though they had been simmering for too long, losing their vibrant crispness.
With a little more attention to the cooking time, these teriyaki vegetables could be a truly enjoyable dish. As it stands, the good flavor is overshadowed by the disappointing texture.
The shrimp tempura was decent enough, but it didn't quite hit the mark for truly exceptional tempura. While the shrimp itself was fresh & cooked through, the batter lacked that delicate, airy crispness that defines great tempura; it was a little heavier & less ethereal than ideal. This resulted in a slightly oily finish rather than the light, melt-in-your-mouth experience you hope for. It wasn't bad, just not memorable.
Un super resto japonais de quartier avec une une impressionnante table d'hôte du midi. Mon seul bémol, éviter le tempura, mias le reste est cinq étoiles.
