Sorry Sushi North.... I am indeed torn about this establishment.
Err, for one, the SIGNAGE for this establishment is a little too small for us to locate.. But with EYES like Microscope we managed to find this establishment in this part of Neighborhood.
When we enter, this establishment seems DEAD, Quiet though I cannot deny there are like 2 other Couples dining in, here. That recent visit was on Saturday August 23rd 2014. Time was 19:00hrs ish.
When I go thru the Menu, especially the Sushi Menu, the Staff returned to say, "Sorry, we DO NOT have UNI". *SIGH*
.
From the Menu we ordered the following items :
* Kalbi (Appetizer) - Short ribs marinated in a homemade special BBQ sauce ($11.95)
As for the Sushi, Nigiri I opt to have the following items:
1st (Round) :
* Unagi (Fresh Water Eel) ($6.95)
* Tamago (Egg Custard) ($4.50)
* Wasabi Tobiko ($5.50)
* Amaebi (Raw Shrimp) ($8.95)
* Kaibashira (Scallop) ($5.95)
2nd (Round) :
* Ika (Squid) ($5.50)
* Masago (Smelt Eggs) ($5.50)
* Tako (Octopus) ($5.50)
* Hokigai (Surf Clam) ($5.95)
* Canadian Snow Crab ($8.00)
NONE of the Nigiri I choose, tantalize my taste bud in which I was a little sad with mixed emotions aka DISAPPOINTED...
I might have forgotten to take the picture of the Wasabi Tobiko. My Bad! *Sad Face*
From there on, I ordered the following items since I am still hungry...
* Baked Green Mussels - New Zealand green lip mussels baked with spicy mayo, topped with tobiko, scallions and black honey sauce ($7.95)
* Dynamite - Scallops, calamari, mussels, shrimp sauteed in garlic butter mixed with Japanese mayonnaise, garnished with mushrooms, scallions & flying fish roe ($8.95)
Hubs opt to have the Chicken Cutlets with Salad and Rice. ($16.95)The Portions is Doable, but all is BREADED and DEEP FRIED, place on top of Shredded Cabbage and drizzled with Curry Sauce, the ones you can get pre-made. Hubs did NOT like his order of Chicken Cutlets though he finished the chicken, but not the rice. Hubs was indeed disappointed with his main Entrée. Overall Hubs rated his main Entrée dish as 2 stars - "MEH", underwhelming..
Our server is originally from Korea. If I am NOT mistaken, this establishment might be run by Korean families, coz what makes me all the WAY to go to this establishment is for the KABLI that they offer in their Menu. We opt for KALBI ($11.95) as Appetizers, but it DOES NOT WOW our taste buds at all. What Special Sauce? Err, do not taste special at all. Furthermore, the Kalbi cuts of meat is so tough, and NOT easy to even chew. To make matter worst they don't provide a knife to cut those Kalbi. *DOUBLE SIGH*
To return, err, NOT in a hurry.
Above anything else, we wish them well in their Business endourverous and undertakings and hope they can progress better in this part of Neighborhood. .
As for me personally, its 2.5 stars and 2.75 stars at best coz they have potential to grow in terms of Quality of food, presentation of how the dish is being prepared. The Service is 3 stars.
Spent $120.60 with tax, with UNDERWHELMING FOOD. Maybe we came in on a wrong evening or something. Sorry Sushi North. I believe you can do better in other people books with all the glowing reviews.
Yes, they have a website that allows you to ORDER Online. But the ONLINE menu DO NOT REFLECT the correct Menu found in the Restaurant itself. i.e. They DO NOT have the Individual Sushi, Nigiri Order Form to view etc. * TRIPLE SIGH*

* Monday - Thursday
LUNCH: (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM) DINNER : (4:30 PM - 9:00 PM)
