Saturday Lunch@わさび て

A very small outlet with only 16 seats in bar like counter, the actual kitchen is just few steps inside but the sashimi, sushi, handroll making are all in front of you. If you come in groups, then probably you have to split into 2s or 3s and of course the waiting part. About 35 mins wait for seats on a Saturday afternoon and also once seated, you must pay $2 but that can be used to order a green tea, soft drinks, etc.

Menu selection is good enough for such a small kitchen and one man cook while another lady do the rest.

I got the BBQ teriyaki salmon set and avocado crabstick 手巻き. The 手巻き was good as the shredded crabstick don't taste like cheapo ones or maybe the other tastes did the cover up.

Pieces of avocados was on top so the first bite was nice and the crunchie roe inside adds more bites.

Each set comes with a appetizer, some beancurd with some black stuff, taste not bad. The salmon set comes with miso, rice and the salmon of course with lots of cabbage on mayo. The salmon took a while to come, but done well, tender not too hard, just enough teriyaki sauce. Just that the top part abit too many "Terry Fox", probably he forgot to turn it. But of course you won't want to ask that guy, he doesn't speak, probably people don't interact with him and he served the food with an attitude, dropping the plates, claypot, crockery, the sound need to be loud, probably that excite him. Wonder what happens if you tell him, his sashimi not fresh ......



Luckily, the good food compensate for that. The $20 ちらし どん is also quite worth it with huge chunks of different type of sashimi over a bed of rice. People who likes sashimi should love this.
