Juski

3/5

This is a local neighborhood Japanese restaurant with a sushi bar, nothing spectacular but a place we order from occasionally.

Tonight we had two orders of Salmon Fried Rice, an order of cucumber maki, cucumber & tamago maki, and the really good Chopped Salmon & Green Onion maki. B-boy wants to ease his way into Japanese food, and he actually really likes this chopped salmon & green onion roll. I've never had it myself till the restaurant suggested it to me.

The take-out from this place is really nice. They put everything in nice little boxes, very neat, clean, not oily.

It's right across the street, so when we're too lazy to order pick up from places that require more than 5 minutes walking time, we go here. Japanese food here is different from Japanese food back home. Which is more authentic? I find the taste here to be sweeter, but back home to be tastier, ie. heavier. Oyster motoyaki? One of my Japanese students here has never heard of it. He nearly fell off his chair when I was shocked he had no idea what I was talking about. He said there's no such item in Japanese cuisine. Haha. Well there ya go then. I guess BC Roll is also a Vancouver invention. As is California Roll. And Rock 'n Roll.

There WERE a few bones in our flied lice, but big ones, not tiny ones that can rip your E-So-Faggis as it slides down your froat. We are never disappointed with the Chopped Salmon Roll, though. Usually I order the Miso Fish Dinner Box, but today I felt like having the same thing as B-boy.

The service is good, but a bit slow. Call 15 minutes ahead for take-out. Comparing this place to other neighborhood Japanese restaurants, of course.

All this for $740.
