To celebrate moving into my new apartment, my roomie and I went out for sushi.
There’s not much choice in Yaletown for Japanese compared to Denman St in the West End so luckily it was up to standard.
I over ordered, bigger eyes than my stomach! Dynamite roll, salmon & avo roll and my roomie, Scott, talked me into trying spinach gomae. It was actually quite nice, cold spinach with a satay sauce.
I’m sure I will be visiting this place often – next up, an udon soup!
Very cute place, looks more French than Italian or Japanese but still very nice.
A little more expensive too. Although I think they made up for that in the quality.
We shared the tempura prawn, Gyoza, spider roll, beef tataki and tuna & pacific salmon sashimi.
Sashimi is some of the best I’ve had here, it melted in your mouth. So fresh. Spider roll was great too.
Only complaint was the beef tataki came covered in a satay sauce. They called it a sesame mayo but it was definitely peanut buttery! Usually it just comes plain with a citrus spy dipping sauce and fresh ginger and garlic.
All in all I would go back. Especially for the sashimi!
I went to Yomo as it was right under the building I was temping in and had nice outdoor seating.
When I walked in they tried to make me sit inside however I asked for outside which they eventually and grudgingly obliged to.
I ordered a sushi and teriyaki plate with salad and miso. It was cheap at $9. Tasted average, nothing to rave about.
I had to ask three different servers for a glass of water and they all looked at me like I was a hassle.
I wanted an unopened can of coke to take back to work which seemed to be the biggest task possible. First guy didn’t understand and the next guy was able to grab it for me.
Hard to get the attention of a server to get the bill… I wouldn’t go back. Cheap and convenient or not.
The Eatery
Awesome venue – it’s dark with black lights to illuminate the crazy hanging statues and wall hangings.
Menu’s are hilarious – quirky little jokes all over them. Not only hilarious but extensive! Pages and pages of Japanese goodness and really reasonable pricing.
We opted to share a heap of sushi with Gyoza and edamame. I remember the San Francisco roll and the erotica roll. Or was it exotica? Either way all four choices were great.
Mojito tasted like a premix but it was cheap. Can’t complain much.
Great atmosphere food and service.
Special thanks to the bucks party next to us for the entertainment!
Good, fast food.
I love soft shell crab sushi, I just grabbed a plate off the train. Was yummy and fresh. I ordered the tempura prawn udon noodle soup, it was delicious. Nice broth and lots of tempura veggies, even though there was only one prawn. Can’t complain too much for around only $8.90 though.
Cash only – I hate cash only. I never carry cash. I even bought the sushi to take me up over the usual $10 mark without realising it was cash only. Had to give them my licence while I went and got money out – while annoying it wouldn’t stop me from going back.
