Rob, every third building has been burned down in downtown Kitchener (or as I like to call it, "the world's most-glorified alleyway"). lol
I usually work until 6pm but I sometimes get off early on Friday...I want in on some of this sushi action. My favorite serving is the Akura (the salmon roe).
My buddies and I used to play Last Man Standing with wasubi. We'd watch one guy take some, absorb his "headbomb," then the next one would up the ante.
I used to win the majority of them, so the last time I was at Sakura Island I got really bold, took the whole serving right off the bat, and.....nothing happened. Both me and my buddy Petroff looked at each other in disbelief: "Dude, I think you might've built up an immunity to it."
...and then this little voice comes out from beneath the sushi bar behind us, "Oh, you rike-a da spicy? Oh ho, I have sum-sing fo' you!" And this tiny elderly man starts preparing something, arms flailing wildly like a mad scientist in his lab, and presents me with two pieces of wasubi okturi.
Maybe I had too much sake, but I didn't clue in on what he said it was: wasubi okturi. All those tiny green eggs with which they make the wasubi from... :nervous:
I can't honestly put into words my physical reaction after I ate it, but once I did come to (which felt like 5 minutes at least), I got up outta my booth, walked to the bar, and bowed to the Master Chef. Un-f'ing-believable! :wtf: |

Sakura Island is definatly good, but I find Johns servings are small, and the price is not very reasonable. But I think he is the only actual Japaneese Itame in the tri cities. And his daughters are smokin cute ;)
Samura on Hespler Rd is again, excellent, with a large price tag, and Ive been there MANY times and have yet to get a freebie.
Id have to say before I discovered the all you can eat place down town, the best sushi place in the tri cities, was Nagano, on Hespler Rd, right across from the Home Depot, just off the 401. For price, quality, and generosity of freebies when you sit and dine in, they win over all in those catigories.
Theres another place I tried on Bleems right by Homer Watson, cant remember the name, but they also have excellent susuhi, but again, with a hefty price tag when you compare the serving size.
If you like sashimi, in the university plaza in the Loo, there is a small japaneese cuisine place called Lunch Box......you can order a plate of salmon sashimi, and it comes with salad, a few dumplings, all you can eat rice, and all you can eat miso soup for like 5 bux. If you want more salomon, just wink at him when he is preparing it, and he will toss in a good amount more for a few bux extra. Its super fresh and its a nice cheap alternative to going out to an actual sushi place. Its in the same unit as Board Zone near the end towards the Mongolian Grill.
Theres a hand full of other places in the Tri Cities I have tried, but wont recomend to anyone. That place on Northfeild that only has rolls, and that other place down town, thats UBER expencive with a limited menu, and a few other small places I cant think of right now. |
