Hime Sushi in Mt. Pleasant

Hime Sushi on UrbanspoonI always drive by this place on my way home from work and had always wanted to try it out. So we finally decided to go and check it out. Being near the busy streets of Kingsway, and being right on Broadway, parking can be a bit of a challenge if you’re coming by car. Park a few blocks away, and you’ll be able to find some free spaces.

It’s a small restaurant with Korean staff. We were greeted right away as we walked in. Since all the tables were full, we waited as we looked at the menu. I ordered the Mexican roll $4.95, Negitoro roll $3.50 and Yaki Ebi $5.50. My company ordered the Hime Sushi Combo $10.50idearabbit-himesushi20

The food came fairly quickly, and they were very good. The Negitoro was very fresh, with lots of negi – which I like :) The  Mexican roll was surprisingly good. Since I was tired of the regular California rolls everywhere, it was nice to have a spicy version. When the Ebi Yaki arrived, I was a bit shocked to see how small it was. The photo in the menu seemed so much larger…LOL. The small scallops inside the curled up shrimps are easy to miss! However, after squeezing the 2 slices of lemon and tasting the shrimps and scallops, I was quite content with how tasty it was. YUM!

At the end, a small chocolate piece came with the bill for each person. My company said it was satisfactory, but no need to return. I on the other hand quite liked it and would like to come back to try more dishes :)

The tshirt on the wall was super cute, and I would have bought one if it weren’t sold for $37! I figured I could design the exact same thing and get it made cheaper. LOL…
