Well, within quick driving distance of our place are well over a dozen sushi places. My daughter refuses to eat at Oyama after this. It's the management's reaction (or lack thereof) that contributes to our decision to no longer give them our business. Plus the fact they failed 4 out of their last 9 health inspections (as shown on the Fraser Health Authority website). Manager lied to me about how it couldn't be their sushi cause they have a perfect health and safety record for the last 4 to 6 years, when in fact they don't. The new Sushi Garden is opening up 3 minutes from our place soon so we'll give them a try, although Felicia's stomach is still not happy at the thought of eating sushi yet. Hopefully she'll change her mind if we go somewhere else for our sushi fix.
Rich, we also really like California Sushi, other than the wait times. Always had good food there. We also like Nao Sushi on Kingsway for their bento boxes and Sushi Town on Hastings, for their spicy salmon bowls. We go to about 5 or 6 different sushi places, so giving up one where we no longer trust is not a big inconvenience.
It's a lot different here than in Victoria where your options are much more limited in terms of sushi. Here, across from Metrotown Mall and within the mall, there are literally at least five or six sushi places. Kingsway is a magnet for sushi restaurants.
