We had originally gone to Hitoe Sushi, but were shooed away when they didn’t have any room, and the rest were reserved. We went to our popular Green Leaf Sushi, but was also turned away when we didn’t have reservations, and it was completely full.

We began driving around, and thought of trying out Sushi Sushi. Over the years of trying sushi all over town, we had both started to avoid the ‘cheaper’ sushi restaurants just because it usually ended up being a bit of disappointment, and maybe even a waste of money.

Will Sushi Sushi, run by Koreans live up to our expectations that has slowly risen? First, going into a restaurant where there are dirty dishes laying on the table isn’t a good sign. Sure, if they’ve just left, but if it looks like it’s been sitting there… even if they are short staffed, a yellow flag goes up.

Yes, I do have a slight pet peeve about plastic plates. I don’t use plastic – even for Tupperware (were all replaced by glass). I don’t have fancy china or anything. You can get decent looking stuff at the dollar store if you know which to buy for very little money. I wasn’t too thrilled with the unnaturally blue plate. Luckily, food was prepared on porcelain. But I’m getting pretty picky… but if I don’t serve and eat on plastic at home, why spend more money to be fed on one?

We had the Sushi Sushi Special Combo for $12.95. You got to pick one dish from section A, B and C, totaling three different dishes, so we picked the Agedashi Tofu, Salmon roll, and TNT roll. The agedashi tofu’s fried flour needed at least another 20-30 seconds in the fryer. It was all soft, though it wasn’t a really bad thing.

The salmon in the Salmon roll was a bit too big…yes, bigger isn’t always better, especially hard salmon. The TNT had prawn tempura, cucumber, avocado and tuna on top with tempura crumbs and special sauce. I had one piece, but it tasted like any other special roll of any kind. I often don’t order these special rolls myself because I tend to find that they all taste the same. Too many ingredients are thrown in, with the same sauce, resulting in a all-the-same flavour. It was alright.

Oddly, the plate did not come with wasabi nor gari (ginger), though I did have enough for him from my plate. The soy sauce bottle was sticky. Service can be at slow at times…though it’s understandable as there is only one lady on the floor. I ordered the Salmon & Avocado $4.50 was priced average, but was turned off by the brown avocados. The salmon was rubbery and hard.

Their tea however, was green and pretty good.

The hallway down to the facility was unpleasant. Boxes and stuff stacked up. It looked filthy. Bathroom looked run down. I would rather use my own bathroom any day.

Will I be back? No.
