Very dedicated and diligent cooks, but the recipe and restaurant style is just your typical non-authentic rendition of sushi. The fish is swimming in sauce in the poke bowl.

More a To Go restaurant than a seat down and eat. They moved and are inside a bakery that has a store next door for open seating and a tablet to order food. Tables and floors dirty. Not the ambiance for a seat down experience. No hostess or server but still same price as old location. Drinks are not served with your food so you have to exit the dining store to go next door and collect your drinks. The food was ok, lower quality than I expected based on reviews. It seems that the quality lowered after changing locations.

My wife and I booked a reservation at Fin and Scale based on rating and photos of the restaurant. When we arrived it was not the place that was advertised. Apparently they recently moved locations. It’s basically a Togo sushi place with a cafeteria style seating area where you can eat next door. I’m sure that the sushi is good but we decided not to stay since it wasn’t the atmosphere we were looking for.
To the business, I’d recommend updating your photos so that your customers know what to expect when they arrive.

EDIT: Not the same since it moved locations

Used to be a nice place in the old location with good food and good ambiance. The food isn't as good anymore and the space is connected to the bakery which is cold and uninviting. There is no wait staff but the prices are the same. Some staff were not very friendly.

Does not have it's kitchen or service nailed down currently. Rice was dense and chewy. Fish in maki rolls was scant. Miso is too onion-y. Nice to have in the neighborhood but very un-polished and not worth the pricing.

I didn’t get a chance to sit down and eat but it looks like your typical sushi joint which is a good thing. Online ordering was convenient and my pick up was quick! Great for a healthier lunch on the go!
We had a great time at Fin and Scales, cute place with nice service.We started with the Striped Bass Carpaccio and the Salmon Spring Rolls which both tasted so fresh and were delicious. For our mains the speciality rolls were devine we enjoyed the Mt Fuji and Abundance.Can’t wait to come back and see what else the new management has in store.

Stopped here unexpectedly. The miso soup was better than average, included soft tofu, onion & mushrooms. The mongo in the in the Salmon Spring Roll created a sweet flavour in this Starter dish. The variety of flavours in the Mt Fuji fish were great. The service was very excellent; the waitress was friendly & helpful. Will try to go out of my way to stop here again.

Other sushi places usually serve dishes as soon as they are prepared. This shortens waiting and turnaround time, and eliminates omissions. Here they combined the majority of the order and served them in two big increments rather than in 6 small ones. The food was tasty, and the fish was remarkably fresh! Miso soup was rich, and definitely prepared from scratch. So, overall it was a pleasant experience.
