My thoughts:
So obviously I have been here on a number of occasions, and for good reason: this place serves the best eel sushi in town!
Anyway, so I met with my usual companion to this place, my dear friend AD, and I had my usual avocado and eel sushi with brown rice - 2 actually. (I didn't bother taking a picture since I have already done so for most if not all of my previous visits here.)
I was feeling particularly hungry today and decided to try their salmon sushi pizza ($9.95). I've wanted to try it ever since I saw it on the menu years ago, but was never hungry enough to have both the eel sushi and this.
When it arrived at our table, the array of bright colours haphazardly arranged on the disc-shaped crust of pan-fried(?) rice piqued my interest even more. Here, take a look:
And then I took a bite.
While the toppings were hearty and delicious, the rice "crust" was a major letdown. Not only was it not crispy as sushi pizza crusts should be, it was mushy. I convinced myself that I should be glad because it was probably not deep-fried and as such I saved myself a load of calories at the small expense of a less enjoyable sushi crust.
Oh, who am I kidding? I am a foodie at heart, and I like me some good, unhealthy food from time to time, and I have to face facts, this was not up to the level of standard that I had come to expect of the great Sushi Bar! There was also not enough sauce for all the rice that there was. Well, at least now I know. This won't be something I order again here.
Just to put it out there - this place has shortened hours of operations on Sundays. They're only open from 5pm to 8pm.
