Had a nice experience on a date night at Sukeban, on late November 2024! Despite the small place being a little packed that day, we got attentive service. The restaurant has a nice, cozy atmosphere. The pork gyoza appetizer was good and crispy. I went for their Philadelphia Roll, and they were accommodating when I asked to remove the avocado. Using goat cheese instead of cream cheese on the roll is a great switch-up on a classic, and I really enjoyed it. I would've liked a little more fish inside the roll, but at the same time, I appreciate the size of the pieces as they are on point. My partner thought he didn't like sushi but was surprised after trying a piece of my roll and actually liking it! He ordered the chicken teriyaki, which was a generous portion. For dessert we shared the fried ice cream, an interesting warm and cold treat. All in all, everything was nice and we would probably go back. Their happy hour sounds like a good deal.

I've been homesick and really missing good fresh sashimi (I'm from Vancouver BC where we have some of the best seafood in the world). I found this place online and it's super cute and clean inside. I love the dark moody ambiance mixed with the colorful murals. I ordered three types of nigiri: fatty salmon, scallop, and yellowtail. They came out quickly and were decent, although I know that I have high expectations because of the seafood we get back home. The raw seafood here has a different texture than what I'm used to, it was really mushy and warm. I have never had sashimi like that! I also ordered the miso soup which was nice and hot, but it was a little too salty for my liking. Big sized portion though. The staff were super nice and attentive. I saw the chef scratch his nose with his fingers though, and not wash his hands, which made me a little grossed out!
