Can't wait to bring my bestie here once she's back in town, since she's also a fan of One Piece! TLDR: Great food + Great for Otaku's + Great Service = I will be back :) SN: only possible negative feedback from me, mentaiko udon was a bit salty for our liking

One salmon Aburi the size was big enough but wasn't really torched much, it just had the Aburi sauce. The other pieces - didn't really taste the torched flavour, it just seemed more like sushi with mayo sauce. - the Kimchi yaki udon was also kind of bleh - tempura ice cream. Was just OK again.

I really can't say enough nice things about just the physical appearance of this restaurant because it's not like others you'll see in the city. Must try: oshi and aburi sushi! It literally melts in your mouth. Soft and tasty salmon, tuna, shrimp, and other fishes. Perfectly seared with a small, pickled jalapeño. We came for lunch and also tried the Myomi lunch set - big portions so come hungry! Perfectly crispy chicken katsu, delicious miso soup, Grouse Mountain sushi salad was also massive. We are definitely coming back and will try the dinner menu next!

Inside is simple, they only have a few tables. I'd recommend calling ahead. I only had time to get the chef's nigiri selection. Food came was and it was amazing. I love it when the nigiri is perfectly seasoned and doesn't need extra soy sauce or wasabi. The nori on the chopped scallop gunkan was crunchy. The amaebi was perfectly sweet, bouny and salty. Each piece was melt in your mouth tender. I would had ordered more but had to run out. 5/5 for food, location isn't great.

Although the price is quite high for only three pieces, there was scallop, ika, eel and salmon among other things. I really liked this roll with a great rice texture and ratio. Aburi Salmon Combo - three seared salmon nigiri which again has perfect rice despite being ready-made along with a salmon maki. Price again is high but everything was on point. Mini Bento Box - this was a great deal for under $10 with a smaller but sufficient amount of rice with a piece of chicken karaage, tempura, ajifry and some ground pork. Although it was quite small, one could be full on this small box and the variety is what I thrive on! Overall, a great place for grab and go sushi with a higher price tag and out farther from central Richmond but easily a place I'd go again!

We were there right at lunchtime on a Saturday and there was a short line in this small bright place. Every detail in the restaurant fit so well.

We settled for a bento and rolls. And when the food came, it was a feast for the senses! Loved every detail about this restaurant, food, ambiance, price and most of all courteous warm service.

The wasabi they use is much more milder and a bit sweet, and not as harsh as some of the cheaper establishments here use, which I appreciated a lot!

You can also do individual orders but we opted for set 3. For 6 different hand rolls, all served one after you consume one they make your next roll. As a result, each roll you eat has a fresh crunchy nori and warm rice. The 6 kinds we had were negitoro, yellow tail, king salmon, Hokkaido scallop, snow crab and truffle lobster. All of them were good, my favorite ones are: Hokkaido scallop and truffle lobster. You think it's not enough but you actually feel it's perfect and just enough for your meal. Good service.

The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax.

I normally hate overcooked salmon but I wouldn't say this was overcooked. Beef course 5/5 the egg was beautifully cooked. The beef was plentiful and I love the addition of the ginger. Udon soup 4.5/5 you get your choice of beef, pork or chicken. It comes with a side of tempura. It was good! Hot and fresh. I love that the temprua was not in the soup. Mango soda 3/5. Refreshing yes. But I expected it to be sweeter or have more mango flavour. Also, if you post a photo on social media, you get a free order of prawn tempura which was nice. Overall we had a great experience.
