Seto Sushi-Authentic + Tradtional

My impression to Seto Sushi is...high-end Japanese restaurant. EU (my all-time foodie buddy) has always mentioned its name and is saying their "pricey sashimi and sushi". Hmm sounds authentic isn't it? So we decided to give it a try...just two of us ;) Haha

Tuna & Sockeye Salmon Sashimi-5.5/6 (for both)

• I don't really remember the price
• surely fresh!
• textures are not bland/mushy
• even though I don't remember the price, I think Seto's sashimi is definitely on the higher price. You can get similar quality at Torarenbo on No.3 Rd

House Roll (4pcs)-4/6

• $7.50/4pcs $14/8pcs
• salmon, prawn tempura, avocado, crab
• rice has got that vinegar taste
• honestly, these House Roll are nothing special...not really impressive
• rice and fillings are in the right proportion
• each roll contains the equal amount of filling

Saba Battera-5/6

• $10
• marinated saba (mackerel) pressed in square mold on sushi rice
• there is a very thin piece of glazed sheet on top of every roll; it tastes a little bit sour but it goes well with the saba and the rice
• rice tastes good!
• saba is fresh

Actually, since I am craving for saba fish recently (after the dinner at Guu Garden), this dish may rate a little bit higher. But anyway, it still tastes great! :)
Vegetable Gyoza-4/6

• $4
• again, nothing special; it tastes like the frozen ones/typical ones
• the amount of filling is acceptable but I wish they can give me more

Overall, it is a fun experience to try such authentic and traditional Japanese restaurant. But if you just want to pick up some cheap-eats, you can go to Banzai Sushi /Jumbo Sushi (both in Richmond). Or if you want to have the similar quality with a lower price, I highly recommend Torarenbo ;)
