The Sushi Bar’s name isn’t distinctive; in fact, it’s not even accurate, since their menu extends way beyond sushi. They’re actually an izakaya … but I guess The Izakaya Bar would be confusing to those not versed in Japanese cuisine and redundant. So, we’ll go with The Sushi Bar.
While the sushi is decent, it’s not their strongest dish. We tried the special of the day, an aji ($8), and it’s not something I’ll re-order. Having had my fair share of horse mackerel, the fish was cut too large making it impossible to eat in one mouthful, which meant you had to bite through the chewy meat. Moreover, it wasn’t meticulously cleaned so the strong fishy essence remains. There weren’t even enough condiments to cover it up: the dot of green onion was insufficient and the fish could benefit from a swipe of a sweet soy reduction (the regular soy sauce is simply too salty).
Their maki rolls are better, the Red Dragon ($15) was beautifully presented with vibrant salmon slices topped with tempura bits, fish roe, and
When shinobu sushi was closed, I found that this restaurant was even better. The food is excellent, and the service is so kind. I ordered a combo but it wasn't filling enough (18 piece sushi for 12$) I also ordered a green tea Icecream scoop with a Japanese cheesecake which I also enjoyed more than I did uncle tetsu's cheesecake.
Favourite Sushi Restaurant. This is my favourite place for sushi! They staff here are wonderful: always a warm greeting followed with prompt service. Very down-to-earth, casual comfortable feel. The sashimi is fresh and their rolls pack great flavour! I especially love their 50% Sushi Pizza Tuesdays (the only restaurant I will order sushi pizza) and $2 Oyster nights on Thursday. Some of the best oysters I've ever had - so fresh. Not only do we like coming here on a regular basis, but we are sure to introduce our sushi-lover friends to this spot!
