Sushi is good, not awesome but ... very good.

Lots of other stuff too including meats and other traditional super market items (for Japan I guess.. :)

We go regularly to pick up snacks between activities with the kids or to pick up an easy meal on the weekends.

Great prices on take out stuff

$2 to $4 range for most sushi rolls or other bento box items

I'm not a fan.

The Gelato is OK, but there are several other places that are better in town (even relatively close by).

The place is super bright, ugly pink and the service is always grumpy.

Finally ... it's WAY over priced, I'd bet it's the most expensive ice cream in the country.

I live close by and I stopped going years ago, try Mario's for a quality product that is more reasonably priced, or try Dolch Amore  on commercial drive, it's got amazing Gelato.

Love this place, been going there for years.

Poutine is great, so are the regular fries with honey mustard mayo
One Large is easily enough for 2 people, order accordingly.

As always the waitresses are the best part of the experience... they sure do have their hiring down.

Nice ambiance, upstairs is smaller than you'd think, but overall... a good place to grab a late lunch downtown with a great patio.

Spinach Dip, spicy wings and the Taco Salad

I'm sure there are other things on the menu but that and a pint is what I get when I'm there.

Rick has been a trusted adviser to me for many years and has done more for people I know than any other realtor in the city.

I value his advice and recommend him to others regularly.

Honest, trustworthy and experienced... all things that are hard to find in a real estate agent.
