for those who love sushi...i just discovered the mother of all sushi restaurants. not only the sushi was top notch, the service was friendly. they gave us complimentary appetizer and dessert. appetizer: seaweed (in that red kimchi sauce) and miso soup (with mushrooms in it...MUSHROOMS mmm) dessert: cut oranges. it was real cute how they presented it. with quality toothpicks to use too. the rolls were around $10.99 ea .. i believe the monster was like..$12.99? soemthing like that. pretty pricey, but everyone deserves to treat themselves to something special once in awhile. its this small and modest little japanese restaurant on warden & steeles...(i think!) in the plaza where the T&T is. goes by the name of "monster sushi". when i say mother, i don't mean like the size and atmosphere of the restaurant - i was purely talking about the quality of their sushi. the quality was a mother. so euge and i had this buy one roll get the other one 50% off coupon - so we decided to give this place a try. its pretty expensive - but definately worth every penny. (buffet prices are pretty good..$17.99 with a 10% off special promo) but ya i can't do buffets so we did up the rolls. ordered one called "the MONSTER" and another one called "ROCK & ROLL".
rock & roll : salmon salad on top, avacadoes, crab meat, etc. + special mayo like sauce
monster : smoked salmon wrapped around it, cream cheese, shrimp tempura, asparagus, avacodoe, etc. + that sauce they put on it.the presentation was AMAZING. so classy, so fun, colourful and neat. this is not just ordinary sushi. not just a slab of meat they put on some rice. you can tell they put soo much time into each and every piece. being innovative and creative dishes that included asparagus/cream cheese? a must try.
words & expressions that came out of my mouth at the restaurant:
