It was very fresh and was served up very quickly. I was undecided until I saw the chicken teriyaki being served to the...next table. It was sizzling on a hot iron griddle on a bed of sprouts and broccoli. I decided to splash out and have the salmon teriyaki. My rice came in a small bowl first, about mins before the salmon was served. I've never understood why they do that. The rice is cold by the time the main dish is served??? Also my son was half way finished his meal before mine had even arrived. Why not serve us at the same time? It's actually quite poor manners and poor service etiquette. It kinda ruins the whole idea of enjoying your meal together. Anyhoo, my son enjoyed his rolls and then sat there bored watching me eat mine long past when he'd finished his. I ate it but I was pretty disappointed by the state of the salmon. It was thin and overcooked and definitely not worth the price. Should have stuck with the sushi or perhaps gotten the chicken teriyaki? The flavour of the sauce was good... So my recommendation to y'all is to stick with the sushi. It was Saturday night and the phone never stopped ringing so between the orders by phone and on-line and a full place they were working hard. The one waitress, sushi chefs, kitchen staff and the lady handling phone orders and register were a well oiled machine.The sushi going to other tables looked beautiful and the portions were generous which isn't always the case. The soft drinks were very reasonably priced and that alone gets a big thumbs up from me. I hate paying for a glass of pop! It's not a big or fancy joint but it's clean, relaxed, friendly, clearly very popular, and was a convenient mins walk from the Holiday Inn we were staying at.
