This is a chain originally from Vancouver that was recently opened a week ago. It’s a handroll (temaki) bar. They offer a la carte temaki (under $10 per roll) or sets of 4/5/6 handrolls with price ranging from $23-35. Also offers sashimi tray for $45 (didn’t try it this time). The seafood is fresh and high quality. All temaki were freshly made in front of me, best to eat them within 10 seconds. Nori was crispy, very well made.
The service was great, prompt, but not too overbearing. Because it was a newly opened, highly anticipated opening, it was very busy at peak dinner hours on a weekend evening. I had expected a much longer wait to be seated. But in fact, I only waited for less than 25 mins. I had missed my turn when they called my name. Fortunately they were very accommodating.
They plan on expanding quite rapidly- 70 york st and Bay/bloor are 2 future locations in the works. Hope the quality of the food doesn’t suffer. Overall, great experience. Highly recommend. Don’t fret about the long wait times, there’s a high turnover of bar spots because their service was prompt and attentive.
