The shop is a cute little space that's tucked in a quiet neighbourhood and can be busy at times. The pasta is very al dente, and has just the right flavours, not too overpowering or heavy at all. Only thing I would nitpick would be the service, coming from a hospitality field before, I would look for 2 things - attentive with the water refill (especially on a hot day) and just asking once how the food was, this allows the customer to let you know how it is and to provide feedback if any to the staff. Unfortunately, this visit, both were neglected and I noticed that the workers were just standing around. Other than just dropping off the food since you order on their order sheet now, I don't see what other service is provided.

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.

It's clear they do a lot of takeout, which is always a good sign. The decor is nothing fancy--just a simple, basic restaurant--but honestly, it doesn't matter once the food arrives. Service was immediate and friendly, and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Tokyo Sunrise roll, two tuna avocado hand rolls, and avocado tempura (we had to try it--and we're so glad we did!). Everything was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were amazing. The hand rolls practically melted in our mouths! Such a delicious experience--we'll definitely be back!

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. They have specials, and the TV in the waiting area played them. We knew what we wanted to order by the time the kind host seated us. So many good choices and so well priced. 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. I will remember to stop by at my next Canada trip. And a bonus, it's in the same mall as one of the best Dollarama stores I've seen!

The food is noticeably higher quality and you can tell there is much more care in their ingredients and taste profiles in their dishes. The sushi could be put a bit better together since the rice does crumble a bit, but overall it's still delicious. 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!

This was my first visit to this location and yes it was amazing. At this particular location there is ample parking although if you're in Richmond you generally don't need to worry about parking anyways.

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. They are friendly, attentive and helpful people. Nice clean restaurant. Very interesting concept. I will try it again .

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.

Even though it was late in the afternoon when I arrived, the restaurant was still half full, this place is truly popular! I ordered a premium green tea and this week's 3-kinds bowl Yame Gyokuro tea 3-kinds bowl I was surprised to see the green tea arrived in a big teapot! It was fresh, crisp, and smooth; I really loved it. For the 3-kinds bowl, I'll just quote the detailed descriptions from their IG below. Since all the fish was already pre-seasoned, no soy sauce or extra spices were needed, though they still served a side of wasabi in case you need it. First off, I ate every single bite! To be honest, I couldn't believe I actually finished three whole mini bowls of rice, that just shows how good they were! 1. Silky Salmon with Aromatic Negi-Lemon - Salmon over sushi rice with our zesty scallion-lemon sauce, fresh scallions and chives. This was my favorite! It was super refreshing and delicious!  2. Aromatic Shiso & Sesame Hamachi - Hamachi over sushi rice with rich sesame sauce, fragrant shiso, negi-myoga and crispy onion. This was my second favorite. Hamachi is one of my favorite types of sashimi, it's a match made in heaven with the seasoning they used and the fresh fragrance of the shiso leaf lingers in your mouth. Making the flavor and texture truly unforgettable!  3. Slow-Cured Yuzu-Kosho Crab & Scallop - Crab and scallop cured in aromatic yuzu kosho, served over sushi rice with shiso and a touch of ikura. Third place goes to the Slow-Cured Yuzu-Kosho Crab & Scallop. It was very well-marinated and super tasty, too!  I was told the 3 kinds bowl changes every week, so I'm just sharing the ones for Sept 23-29. Can't wait to come back with more people next time, I really want to try their other dishes! :)

The ikura fish roe. The wonderful tuna tartare that goes super nice with the rice and sauce. The quality of the fresh tuna. The bowl is not big but quality is oozing out of every ounce.
