Their quality and services were not as good as they were. Got this King salmon in a pack and have them sliced for me. It looks really good before I picked them up. You can clearly see the before and after. The chef was new and the lady manger was at his back to guide him. I didn’t see how he sliced the sashimi but if I have known that is what I got, I would have refused. I understand there might be bones in the salmon. But that’s kinda false presentation, no? Just because you laid in a perfect way, it doesn’t hide how it was to me when I eat it. I would not expect that at Taro Fish so I’m pretty disappointed. Went back there the next week and order some more sashimi. When I mentioned to the cashier, he passed the message to the older Chinese chef. He said the sashimi was not gone bad. Excuse me, I never said the sashimi gone bad. Please do not put your words into my mouth. All I was saying is that if I knew there was bones in the sashimi and the way of your cutting will be that bad, I might have change to a difference piece. He was trying to change the subject when he saw the pictures. The lady (might be the manager) simply said it is how it is. If you want, we can show you how we sliced next time
If that’s how you do business, fine.
I’m not sure if I will visit again.

Sashimi was decent but the store was not air conditioned even during a heat wave. As a customer I would be in and out in a few minutes but the poor workers have to work in the kitchen in this 30c heat! They were noticeably sweating and uncomfortable. Surely if you are successful enough to open 3 stores you can afford a comfortable work environment.

Tried the sushi deluxe! I would say for $35 it’s such a steal! The fish is so fresh and they are big pieces. They only start prepping them beginning at 1pm, so keep that in mind.

Yet an other business that doesn’t accept cash. Lame.

I have been to the other ones but to me service here is a lot better thanks again. ! They even separated my stuff into two as i was purchasing for my son as well ! Kevin gave me extra ginger and wasabi at no extra charger !

Small market/takeout combination place with well spaced-out merchandise so that you can browse comfortably even when the story is busy. They have a freezer section as well as dried pantry-type goods.
My focus was on buying sushi/rolls this visit. In one of the refrigerated areas, they have a bunch of pre-cooked foods including takoyaki and rolls. I got the torched salmon roll for just under $15 plus tax and takoyaki for around $5 which are both fairly priced.
The takoyaki doesn't refrigerate well so it's hard to heat up and expect the same experience as when ordered fresh. The roll was a lot better with tender salmon that was torched just enough to create that Maillard reaction without cooking the salmon.
Directly behind the area with the ready-to-go foods, is the takeout area. Interestingly, ordering a freshly made-to-order roll is not that much more than the premade stuff. I'd rather get the fresh made stuff next time and see how big a difference it is. Alternatively, I'd like them to drop the prices on the pre-made stuff.
Great place to buy sushi grade fish! We were able to make our own sushi at home which was really fun.

I was impressed with the quality and flavour of the Premium Nigiri Set ($45). We don't eat much so it was enough for two. Used food scissors to split the servings 🙈 Also bought a bunch of snacks. The Red Bean pastries and mochi were nice. I liked the LANGULY chocolate sandwich cookies too.
The staff is very friendly. Some reserved, some very outgoing.
It's a conference store and Japanese takeout place so not much to comment on about the atmosphere. I appreciate that they don't make a ton of noise when you go in and out like Japanese Izakaya restaurants.

Lots of choices of fish, fresh and tasty. I wish they had sittings for grab and eating.
