I am a HUGE sushi fan - literally could eat it for every single meal - so I am always on the look out for cool new sushi places. I never get to Sunnyside Mall but happened to be there tonight shopping with the mom and sis, and decided to get some supper here.
The first thing that struck me is that they are really friendly - a young lady working behind the counter greeted us as we were browsing/thinking. Also, when we went to pay and said we were eating in, she set up our food nicely on a tray, heated up our dumplings and made sure we had all the correct sauces/utensils, etc. She took care with our order and that meant a lot.
We had the dragon roll with spicy shrimp tempura - and BOY was it spicy! A little too spicy for my taste, but that's more of a palate thing and less a commentary on the restaurant. One thing I thought was awesome was how fresh the avocado was - I am a huge avocado fan too and their's was bright green - sure sign of freshness. The rolls were very neat also - you can tell they know what they are doing, and the pieces were quite large. The dumpling wrappers were a tad overcooked but still not bad.
The sushi + dumplings + bottle of water cost almost $20, which I felt was a little steep but sushi is generally not cheap and it was pretty fresh and well-made. For mall sushi it was pretty good! It's no Hamachi, but definitely better than the dry, tiny rolls you get at Superstore and Sobeys. A-OK! read more
