Last night my wife and I arrived for a 6PM reservation on a Friday night. The small but funky…read morerestaurant was full but our table was ready for us. Despite every table being full the two servers in our area made us feel like we were alone in the room. They kept the tea hot and Sake full. We had three Maki rolls, two from the daily specials. The lobster roll was excellent and the others very good. With Misu soup a salad and lots of sake dinner with tax and tip was less than $140 for 2. We left with a smile and a promise to return.

The black cod sushi ($10 for 2 pieces) is an interesting take on the fish, the nigiri torched…read moretableside so the fish's fat begins to melt forming slight layers in the cod. Being a denser fish, it does need a fair amount of flavour and while the sweet soy was a start, it needed something else for interest. After the experience, I'm still on the fence of whether a nigiri is the best use of this prized fish. My preference is still for the baked miso marinated black cod ($15) where the fish is hot and flaky and infused with a slightly sweet umami flavour. The palm-sized portion is just enough for sharing amongst two people. Sushi Bar's other a-la-carte nigiri is just as good with large pieces of barbeque eel on the unagi and a thick slice of ruby red tuna on the maguro (both $7 for 2 pieces). Displaying the lobster on top of the lobster roll ($18) was a great idea as it becomes the first thing you taste, and diners can see the full tail in its glory. However, it was already overcooked and blowtorching it at the table made it even more dry and chewy. Ideally, they should undercook it to begin, and the torching will help heat and finish off the doneness at the table. It's a dish with promise and the thin cucumber lantern a great idea for a beautiful garnish. Starting every meal is a bowl of rice crackers that arrives with drinks, a pre-pandemic tradition that I'm glad has been kept, providing something to snack on as we peruse the menu. A new addition is an amuse bouche of seafood, squid, and seaweed salads, enough for a bite each to enjoy while the rest of the meal arrives. As the temperature drops, the complimentary starter is sometimes a rich hot bowl of miso soup with cubes of tofu and seaweed flakes. A welcomed respite after a cool walk to the restaurant. With a variety of maki available, the black dragon ($17) was an interesting take on the fancier dynamite roll. In this case, sweet-glazed barbeque eel, tempura bits, fish roe, and green onion wrapped around the shrimp tempura. It's a colourful creation offering a variety of textures and flavours and it's ideal that the pieces aren't overly large so that they are enjoyed in one bite. The red dragon ($17) is just as good, substituting the barbeque eel for salmon instead. If you're in the mood for shrimp tempura ($8 for 3 pieces), I'd recommend having it in maki-form as the fried shrimp by itself is underwhelming, the batter too thick and the temperature tepid at best. Upsold to the tuna tartare roll ($10), we should have stuck with the tried-and-true spicy tuna ($8). In the tartare, the tuna too pulverized and the filling including dreaded tempura bits that causes the roll to become gummy. It also needs more heat to be considered spicy tuna. Despite their name, Sushi Bar also makes a variety of non-sushi dishes. You get a hefty portion of hamachi kama ($19) with the full portion, a meaty cut of the fish's jaw. A thicker cut, there were parts of the fish that could have been done a touch less but being a bone-in piece, it can be hard to gauge. Nevertheless, the skin was crispy and the fish hot and delicious. Served with a radish ponzu soy sauce, a bit more salt sprinkled onto the fish would help it pop.

Next time I'll get one of the chef specials which is a variety of sushi, maki, or the sushi boat for two which is our friends' go to order. There's plenty of seating. The staff are very friendly.

Finally, I received my dish. It did not taste fresh, but, I ate it anyway. about an hour later I had the WORST DIARREAH I have had! I couldn't sleep all night, running to and from the bathroom.

They're more of a to-go spot so there's not much seating and sometimes you have to go up to the front to order but it's worth the extra steps.

Its served with a side of miso soup. The yaki beef udon was also delivered with a variety of vegetables in it. Their other rolls are also a good size and have many fillings. The workers are very kind and always willing to help with the ordering process and any questions you have.

Its a small Korean owned sushi restaurant, and I was a little disappointed to say the least. Attached is a picture of the spicy salmon roll I got. For a 4/5 star restaurant I expected a lot better.

Not the freshest fish, but still not bad. Honestly I think they specialize in those crazy rolls but I havent had the chance to try them out. So for now my rating will stay at a 3/5
