I also ordered bbq skin salad; salmon was good, dressing was on the salty side for me. Reservations needed! Restaurant has few tables, attention was enough, given 1-1/2 hours before next seating, which was more than adequate. Definitely recommend! Entrance is on the street side, not on the interior side where parking is.

There was a sign at the door that said they were fully booked so I almost walked away. But a lady opened the door and let me in. I got seated right away. 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.

We…read moreordered the: West Coast Roll - gigantic 3 rolls filled with all the seafood and fish options you might imagine. 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!

They told us to join the google waitlist when we wanted to come in so we checked about an hour beforehand and there was no active waitlist online. We were seriously refreshing the screen as we were driving over to the restaurant. When we got to the restaurant they told us to join the waitlist and lo and behold there were already 5 people ahead of us!! The restaurant is small and the waiting area even smaller -- with 5 ahead of us we ended up waiting about an hour!! We got the dinner sets of soba/sushi, chirashi, and unagi. Everything tasted solid but seems small for the price. My little (who doesn't eat much) finished the whole meal set and said she was only 50% full and proceeded to eat snacks in the car after dinner. The staff spoke Japanese so you know it's pretty authentic but for the price and the wait, it could've delivered more.

We arrived around 1pm on a Tuesday afternoon and were added to their 45-minute waitlist. Luckily,…read morethe restaurant is tucked inside a little mini plaza, so we were able to walk around and kill time while we waited. Beef Don & Udon - the kids loved it. Unagi set - WOW. So yummy. I'm literally salivating just thinking about it. I also thought it was cute that they provided instructions on how to eat it. Chirashi gozen - fresh, yum, and love the abalone! We will definitely return next time we're in town to try other items!

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 .

They all look alike from the outside, but each one had a different taste, texture and flavor. All the fish and seafood tasted fresh, served with warm sushi rice and rolled like a cigar with a crispy seaweed wrapper. Each one was about 3-4 bites dipped in wasabi soy sauce. Our server was fantastic. We didn't get her name, but she's from Ontario. She's been there almost a year. She's very professional, but cheery, warm and friendly. We love how the hand rolls are served by the chefs who prepare them and done at well unhurried pace---always keeping a watchful eye on the guest. The restaurant is really a big bar which makes sense in this kind of experience. The design is sleek, modern with an eye catching ceiling design. It's located by one of the entrances of CF Richmond Centre Mall. We were happily satiated, but didn't feel full.

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. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

Their sushi rolls weren't anything special but the sauces were delicious. Only thing was the hamachi kama (grilled yellowtail collar) - it was a bit dry, but it was huge.

In the U.S., sushis were made in fusion: raw, fried, and other off ingredients like creamcheese and sriracha (even before, I don't order those sushi with those odd ingredients) After having this, our standard for sushi was too high, we can't no longer appreciate the sushi from other restaurants! We ordered 2 Signature Zen, sushi platter (I forgot which), and una soba (grilled unagi with hot soba based on katsuo. They are so good -- smooth in the palate and well seasoned.
