Sushi Matsuri (239 Menzies Street) is a small little restaurant. When I say small, I mean SMALL. There\u2019s about eight tables, none of which seat more than four. While it wouldn\u2019t do for a large dinner party, it was quite well laid out, making careful use of the little space it had.<\/p>\n

I actually quite liked the decor, but none of you care about that\u0143truthfully, I don\u2019t either. We\u2019re here to talk food!<\/p>\n

Sushi Matsuri offers a good sized menu, with a solid selection of sushi, as well as some other Japanese foods. A really cool thing about the place is that they gave the option to use real crab meat in any of their sushi for an extra 75 cents.<\/p>\n

The kind waitress brought us some free green teas (great for warming up my hands, which were thoroughly frozen), and then we started our night off with a plate of Gyoza each. Though it wasn\u2019t really anything special, it was good.<\/p>\n

Next came the entr\u017de. I got a BC Roll, a simple Tuna Roll, and something called the Stop, Drop & Roll. That last one was my favourite of the night: it had a bit of deep fried salmon on the top, which gave it a nice crunch. Delicious.<\/p>\n

This sushi was absolutely delicious! My friend, who was dining with me, agreed, and he is an expert in these matters, or so he tells me. I don\u2019t actually believe him, but it sounds good.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the food was really good and we both felt stuffed by the end of it. Better yet, it was pretty cheap for how good it was. I paid about $25 for everything. The basic rolls are around $3.50, and the primo rolls didn\u2019t go past $8.00, which is actually pretty cheap compared to a lot of other places around town.<\/p>\n

My advice? Go to Sushi Matsuri and give it a shot. It\u2019s good stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
