    Not so good experience. We coming from TO. The table they gave us there’s lots of food flies, I’m talking about at least 10-20 keep flying around. Everyone immediately doesn’t want to eat there. Also there’s no ac as well. It’s very warm and stuffy inside. At the end we leave. It’s a Sat night and we need to google around and search what to eat with a group of 7 people. Luckily we found Ryu Japanese and it’s very good.

    While the food was decent, not sure I would eat here again any time soon. The quality and price match up decently well but there were a lot of flies and I constantly found myself having to swat em away while trying to enjoy my food. Worth mentioning I appreciated the variety of menu options and presentation of food. Overall not bad and will likely try it once more before adding to my "Do not eat" list.

    We wanted a light supper before our concert, so ordered some maki to start and then a rice and a noodle dish to share, although everything arrived together. The maki - ebi chizu maki, a fried maki with shrimp tempura tartare - sounded wonderful but was actually quite greasy and bland. The tofu and shiitake rice bowl - tofu shiitake don - was delicious, subtly flavoured and not too heavy. The noodle dish - ebi tempura soba, or shrimp and vegetable tempura with noodles - was okay, but again rather bland, especially the noodles which had no sauce or flavouring at all. A nice, well located spot but I’m not sure we’ll rush to return.

    The edamame was not fully cooked and looked nothing like the picture in the menu. I found the sushi rice was cold and not flavorful. I expect more from a traditional sushi restaurant.

    It wasn’t terrible but not great. I’d eat hear again but it was just average. The beef in my rice bowl was tough and chewy.

    The food was very good and since we talk about fish, so raw/semi raw (tataki) food, fresh was mandatory and they nailed it. I was impressed. Sorry for the cliché, but a lot of asian people eat there and its meaningful to me in the way that the restaurant can only by genuine to what Japan can offer oversea. It was delicious. The only one downside, we did not have enough time to appreciate our meal, we had, after ordered, only an hour to get through before the next sit in. The pace was too fast. But the staff was very nice and customer oriented.
    YEN Cuisine JaponaiseResponded on May 26, 2024
    Hey Chris, thank you for sharing your experience, our guests' feedback matters to us. We are very glad you appreciated our fish. We receive many fresh shipments almost every day, and the quality of our ingredients is an upmost priority! We do apologize for the pace. Due to our very small capacity, we are obligated to impose certain restrictions such as a time limit, especially on the weekends when we receive a very high volume of guests and things get busy. We do usually have a fast service time and try to accommodate as much as possible. During the weekdays, we can be alot more flexible on the seating time. Nevertheless, we appreciate your honest review and hope to see you again at YEN! Thank you very much. Management
