This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had.

When we first arrived, we chose to sit on the patio since we had our dog with us. The waitress immediately came over & rudely said,'If another customer complains about your dog, we'll have to ask you to leave.' There wasn't even another customer on the patio for the next 30 minutes, so the comment felt unnecessary & unwelcoming.

She also told us that we could bring & drink our own alcohol. However, after the meal, when we decided not to leave a tip because of the poor service, she came outside & confronted us. She then claimed that we were not allowed to drink hard liquor such as whisky, which directly contradicted what she had told us earlier.

As for the food, it was extremely overpriced. We paid around $40 for just 11 pieces of sashimi, & the fish didn't taste particularly fresh. The quality simply didn't justify the price.

When we chose not to leave a tip due to the overall experience, the waitress became even more confrontational. She insisted that paying a service charge or tip is mandatory everywhere in Canada, which is simply not true. Tipping is voluntary unless a gratuity has been clearly added to the bill in advance.

Overall, the combination of rude service, inconsistent information, overpriced food, & poor quality made this a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this restaurant & will definitely not be returning.

This is one of the best sushi restaurant I've been too. I've been here many times & I always let chef Karl decide my dinner. What's amazing is Karl attentiveness to details & his creative dishes. The specialty dishes are really really good. My friends & family always come out very satisfied. Price is very reasonable for the quality. Did I mention its a BYOB? I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a more refined Japanese/sushi. Enjoy!
