Phone: (416) 483-6848

i passed by this restaurant all the time when i was heading back home after work.. it's on the Southeast corner of Mount Pleasant & Eglinton, right besides Cheese Emporium..

i heard about their 黑豚肉 & wanna try it.. but the waitress said we have to pre-order it, which we didn't know about it!!! (OH NO!!) anyway, we still had a great dinner, with fresh Uni!!


they were using some nice plates..





Age Dashi Tofu (Fried Tofu)
..it's on the house..

Oysters ($3.25 each)
..from West Coast

two types of Soft Shell Crab ($9.99 each): this one is Fried Soft Shell Crab (炸軟殼蟹)..

this is Spicy & Salt Soft Shell Crab (椒鹽軟殼蟹)..

i guess most of us prefer the Fried Soft Shell Crab more.. but i think there's too much tempura flour in it..

Beef Sashimi ($11.99)
..the waitress said that the beef sashimi is the neck/shoulder part.. they all love it.. & the sauce made it tasted great!

Assorted Sashimi Platter ($42) + Top Assortd Sushi ($20.5)

Fresh Uni ($26)
..we first asked for Uni Handrolls, but then the manager brought us this saying that they recommended customers to have it fresh.. & yes, it's very yummy!!

i guess they only served Fresh Uni.. coz when we tried to order just one Uni handroll, they said they don't have it as the whole Uni has 5 pieces, & they can't just take out one piece to make a handroll.. (which solved the mystery why they didn't make us Uni handrolls at the first place)

Grilled neck of Hamachi with salt ($12.5)


Fried Banana & Green Tea Ice-cream for dessert (no charge)..

i guess they gave us the free Fried Banana becoz they mistakenly made 2 spicy handrolls for us which we ordered non-spicy..

the food in general was not bad, except that the laver (紫菜) was not crispy.. service was good.. the waitress & manager were very attentive..

there is a free underground parking.. the entrance is right next to the Brewery besides the restaurant, but it's hard to see in the dark (coz the entrance is quite hidden)..
