It already is the second time I come here, always so super crowded but believe me it deserves guys. Small restaurant but cozy and gub vibe for each corner here. The services are always so kindly even how busy with numerous customers. The food is tasty and can make you feel wanna come back next time to try more new on the menu. Highly recommend to come and try!!!
The food here was so good! Definitely a great spot to go with friends especially for dinner. I didn’t try any of their drinks but I did get the creamy korokke which was LOVELY !! The outside is nice and crispy and the inside was so creamy that it just kind of melts in your mouth. The dip also paired very well with it. I think that the spicy salmon roll was also pretty good! It’s not like exceptional but it’s pretty tasty! Pretty standard and similar quality to any spicy salmon roll you would get elsewhere. The carnita was good but nothing special. The flavours paired well together!
I went here for my birthday dinner on a Friday night and although we got to the restaurant at 7pm they did not seat us until almost 10pm. The only saving grace was how good the food was. Everything was made fresh and tasted amazing. I strongly recommend the fish tacos and any sushi order will leave you pleased. Definitely recommend, just not with a large group.
Hands down one of the few restaurants for me where the mains were as amazing as the apps!!We went with 3 types of tacos: soft-shell crab (soooo crispy yet so light?? The undisputed fave), baja fish (uniquely sweet and vinegary - amazing!!), and gochujang barbacoa (punch of flavour but a bit heavy, loved the crunchy shell!!). I would say I wish the guac was a bit more spread out so you dont get one big mushy bite at the bottom but honestly this is me being nitpicky, these tacos were so freaking amazing. I’m not sure if they used masa in their shells but I could rly smell the corn - just so delicious !!! ?? The dish with the biggest surprise: scallop and beet sushi roll! The beets bring a sweetness, the scallops were tender and meaty, it was actually so addictive ?My other fave dish (v hard to choose just one ?) was the croquette!! Crispy on the outside, soooo fluffy on the inside, a bit of curry powder sprinkled in, and a creamy sauce that I couldnt quite place - oh my god. I don’t think I croquettes will ever be the same for me now!!The soft-shell crab dish was also up there on the list for me, crispy and addictive with the salsa and guac The corn (elote) was also amazing but I wish the sauce was a little thicker and coated the corn better. The torched nigiri were also amazing (flavour and freshness), but nothing unique about it. The sambal karaage was probably at the bottom only because it wasn’t crispy. The chicken was super juicy and tender, super unique and addictive flavour otherwise. Would have been an easy number 1 fave if the coating was crispy Overall, put this resto on your priority list - your taste buds will thank you!! Note that they don’t take resos and it was PACKED at 530 pm on a WED evening. Plan accordingly friends!! ?P.S. Shout out to the server that told us we ordered too much food ? We cleaned every plate and even had room for dessert!
The Japanese/Mexican fusion food is an interesting concept, but the lack of focus produces an average meal[Food] I ordered the volcano fiesta, spicy tuna avocado kappa roll, and a baja taco. The rolls were okay, they weren't as good as a restaurant solely dedicated to sushi. The taco was pretty good, but no salsa verde was provided[Service] The waitress was nice and kind. The food came quickly[Atmosphere] The inside of this restaurant is very pretty, the decor creates a great atmosphere for dinner
I ordered the yam signature roll which came with avocado, tempura bits and eel sauce on top. It was delicious! In fact all of the food I tasted was very yummy and good quality. Yes you can definitely find cheaper sushi in the city but if you’re looking for something more upscale with a good variety of flavour combinations— this is your spot! The signature rolls are range from $16-22. However they have regular rolls such as salmon, shrimp tempura etc. (in the second picture) which are around $6-9. So depending on what your budget is anyone could eat here. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their Mexican food too. Only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because the service could have been better. Additionally you have to take a very VERY steep staircase down to the bathroom, so beware. I fell down, and while I didn’t injure myself you definitely could!
Great little hole in the wall restaurant! This review is mostly based on the vibe and food. The staff were just okay. Tacos were also just okay but the sushi was amazing!! Very well priced and very unique. Loved the urban comic book atmosphere.I would definitely go again and just grab a bunch of sushi.
This is a great fusion place. We ordered takoyaki, volcano fiesta roll, spider amarillo roll, bulgogi taco and salmon sashimi. The food was delicious. Particularly the volcano fiesta roll was sooooo good; 10/10 we would reorder that again.The ambiance is nice and the space is cozy. The price is typical for a Japanese fusion place so be prepared to spend a little. The only thing that we didn't particularly enjoy was the seating time limit of 1.5 hours. Oh well, you can't have everything.
Great restaurant with fun twists on ‘traditional’ rolls, and shrimp tacos beyond belief. I swear every time I order them they’re somehow better than the last time. Highly recommend for sushi and non sushi lovers alike.
Loved this japanese-mexican fusion restaurant. Their sushis are super good and the tacos where quite surprizingly good too! Also enjoyed their takoyaki and… their french fries (they are sooo yummie). Love the decor of the place and the service was quite good and efficient. I will definitely go back there
