My friend brought me here and strongly recommended the chirashi don. I balked a little at the price ($28) but decided to just give it a shot. There was a nice assortment of sashimi: tuna, octopus, yellow tail, sweet shrimp, scallop and of course, salmon. It was also topped with salmon roe (ikura), pickled radishes, ginger, cucumbers and a nice dollop of wasabi.
The rice was sweet, with a little bit of sesame seeds and seaweed on it, which allowed for different textures (which is always welcome!). With that said, the star of the dish is clearly the sashimi and it shines. The sashimi was extremely fresh and cut very thickly. The flavor of the sashimi really comes through in this dish. My only criticism is that the sashimi might have been cut TOO thick - blasphemous I know, but hear me through. Although the thick cut was extremely satisfying, it can be a bit too overwhelming, especially if you don't eat sashimi very often.
Ultimately, I strongly recommend trying this don if you're a huge sashimi lover, if not, it might be a bit too much for you.
Total price: $28 + $2 (drink, little appetizer, fruit)
No GST, but you have to pay the $2 (basically comes with the seat)
