Oh forget to mention, I also dislike California roll with surimi, they are simply unforgivable =P @KimHo Haha I don’t mind you called me LPV =) Well yeah, they ought to do something different because in especially they are surrounded by many Japanese izakaya-s.

(sigh)... It is not only from this place's; I don't like them in general and almost anything that is made in a similar way (i.e., with surimi). LPV, welcome! (I hope you don't mind I call you this way). I won't say you should skip it right away. I mean, as mentioned in the post, compared to other places, they are quite decent, just that the competition is so stiff in Downtown Vancouver, they ought to do something more to distinguish themselves from the competition. monchichi, thanks! :oops: Sherman, direct light is also a challenge; however, despite I know some tricks that can work on direct sunlight, I keep forgetting about these… ^_^;;; California roll… (sigh)… It is not only from this place’s; I don’t like them in general and almost anything that is made in a similar way (i.e., with surimi).

They're really well taken, and the lighting (or your adjustment for it) is top quality! The food looks really delicious too, although from what you said, I guess it looks better than it tastes?

The decoration from outside and the interior are very modern which attracted my attention. At first I thought it was another izakaya restaurant. However, after seeing the menu that they just serve regular menu found in most sushi restaurant, I plan to skip it =P Well described! =)

Great lighting for pictures, unless in direct sunlight. But knowing you, I know you would've adjusted for it. I tend to agree with you on the white meat. Even though it is more expensive to use white meat in teriyaki, I prefer that they use dark meat as well. It just works better in terms of texture. Those California rolls look so generic, I'm sure they tasted as bad as they looked. Cute little crabs! Just like on Iron Chef, they fry them up and eat em! I love how you sat outside.
