I'm sorry to disappoint, but this place didn't make it to my favorite. I know a lot of people really like this place because of the price point and that the restaurant is operated by a Japanese couple. $35 for their omakase sushi is a steal but without the prestigious sushi handout served onto your plate, which isn't available during the pandemic anyway, the sushi is just mediocre. Everything is fresh but I can tell that their fish is local. Don't get me wrong! I'm all for supporting local businesses and products, but there's a reason why it's cheaper than the traditional omakases. A lot of the 'pricier' omakases import their fish from Japan, and offer higher grade sashimi, so it's pricier.
For $35 I can get any nigiri set anywhere. I don't have to drive all the way to Port Moody. The three sets of aburi rolls I got from Fusion Core last week were only $36, and I think I had more satisfaction from their oshi sets.
I mean if you live in the Tri-city, then maybe it's worthwhile for you, but if you have to drive all the way out there for their omakase nigiri set, then let me save you the trouble.
