This is one of those restaurants that I am constantly getting mixed up with Sushi Mura. Anyways, my fav go to is their lunch combos. For $27 I got their sushi and sashimi lunch combo. That came with Sushi, sashimi, tempura, spicy salmon roll, Korean style gyoza, green salad, sunomono salad and miso soup. Portion size was pretty good for the price. B got the spicy salamon roll, spicy salmon crunch roll and the unagi roll. He said the spicy salmon crunch roll was spectacular delicious. We both enjoyed our food. Service was great. The restaurant was ok. We went during Sunday lunch time and it wasn't that busy at all. The decor of the place was ok as well. It is nothing fancy looking. Just a typical sushi restaurant that may need some renovations in the near future. There are plenty of street parking in the hood.

It didn't feel particularly homey or comfortable sitting in to eat. Nothing inherently wrong with it but it just felt dated and not too special. The food itself is good but it's not as well balanced as Saku's flavours. Last time I came here, the rice accompanied by my set meal was soft and borderline mushy, so the consistency is really hit or miss here. The restaurant plays loud music and it isn't the most comfortable place to sit, eat and chat. Overall, it's alright. Price is a bit expensive for what you get (and no unlimited refills on salad, soup or rice (or none that I was ever made aware of)) but it does the job. I prefer Saku to here but it's still a good option to have in this area

Sushi Box is dishing out some classic and delicious Japanese eats! The space is clean and bright, yet on the smaller side with about 10 tables. The menu has everything you're looking for. From Oshi (Pressed) sushi, to bento boxes, Party trays and yakisoba/udon, whats not to like? We opted for the bento boxes which include rice and miso soup. You get to choice of protein; chicken, beef, veggie, chicken karaage, salmon and sushi box. The price range is between $15-$22 depending which you order. We got: Chicken Bento $16 Karaage Bento $17 Salmon Teriyaki Bento $20 All of them came with a roll and gyoza as well as the rice and miso soup. Over all the boxes were fantastic! The salmon came out perfect (says my mother), not dry, nice and moist. Some of the best she's had. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, frequent tea refills and we were full by the end of it. If you're in the area and are looking for some great food go check out Sushi Box. There is tons of parking, but remember, seating space inside is limited. But support this small business and leave happy.

They give you a very small scoop of rice to soak up the remaining sauce. I quite liked my dish. It had a good amount of flavor, and was mildly spicy. However, the dish was quite oily. They recommend adding vinegar whenever the dish feels too salty or oily, so I tried adding a light splash of vinegar. At first I was worried it would ruin the dish, but it didn't. It helped with the oil. I was disappointed in the amount of rice that they offered, but it is also complimentary, so I can't really complain. We also got the chicken karaage with honey mayo to share. The dip was so good. The chicken was tender. At times it was a bit hard to flag down a server, because we were in a bit of an odd spot. However, whenever they were at our table the customer service was good. Our server was honest about their regular sized portions being on the small size, so he recommended that I do the free upgrade to XL.

I had decided to go to Tokyo Kokoro Mazesoba after hearing from a family member say it was pretty good. We went for lunch, which wasn't busy. Mind you it was a weekday so it makes sense. Once seated we had the option to order off the iPad or with the waitress. We ordered: Classic Minced Meat Sauce Mazesoba $16.50 -added a pork tonkatsu $7.95 Chashu Ramen $17.95 What both dishes were missing was finesse. Sometimes the simplest things can ruin a dish. The mazesoba was covered in so much green onions, you couldn't tell that it was suppose to be a noodle dish. The tonkatsu felt like a frozen chicken nugget and was super dry. The ground fish powder should really be an option that you can sprinkle your own on it like salt or pepper because it really over powered the dish completely. The Ramen was fine. It really didn't blow me away nor did the chunky whites of the green onion enjoyable at all. It was... just fine. I'm not sure if it was the day we went or just the lack of oversight in the ingredients or preparation but it wasn't good. The wait staff was friendly and helpful, and like any review you take it all with a grain of salt. I'm not saying don't go and try it, I'm saying maybe try a different location.
