One restaurant in Port Coquitlam I’ve wished to go to for a very long time is Sushi Ok Kamizato. My dad and I go to Port Coquitlam for leisurely functions once in a while, typically to check out new sushi eating places. Sadly, my dad works most evenings, and Sushi Ok Kamizato is barely open for evenings. With a view to fulfill my Aburi cravings on this explicit event, we went to Sushi Fu, one of many latest additions to Port Coquitlam’s continuously evolving sushi scene.
Sushi Fu is Chinese language-operated and options a big, budget-friendly menu with a particular that enables diners to decide on 3 gadgets (from a choose record)Â + a bowl of miso soup for $8.50. The inside was cleanly and comfortably embellished for probably the most half, apart from the oddly colored partitions, which have been inexperienced sufficient for me to camouflage some wasabi with out anybody noticing. Don’t fret, I am extra well-behaved than that.
Salmon Sashimi – A-
Tai Sashimi – B+
Tuna Sashimi – A
Beginning off with the Appetizer Sashimi, the salmon was delicate and buttery with a wonderful clean texture. The tai was barely robust however got here with ample flavour. The tuna was the freshest, with an exquisite delicate texture and a wealthy, non-fishy flavour.
Appetizer Tempura – B
The Appetizer Tempura got here with two prawns and one piece every of candy potato, carrot, and yam. The batter was common and a bit heavy in locations. The prawns have been juicy although a bit skinny, and the greens retained good flavour and moisture.Â
Seared Salmon Nigiri – A-
Seared Toro Nigiri – A
Seared Saba Nigiri – B+
The seared nigiri was surprisingly well-executed. A skinny layer of mayonnaise utilized to every piece of nigiri actually helped deliver out a smoky flavour, and this was supported by a sprinkle of fragrant sesame seeds. I extremely loved the freshness of the salmon and the very juicy toro. The saba, in addition to being lower a bit too thick, was additionally deliciously juicy. This was one of many dishes that will make me alter my response to “glorious” as an alternative of simply “good” when requested how my meals is.
Hawawii Roll – B
Since my eyes are likely to gravitate in direction of oddly spelled issues on a menu, I naturally went for the Hawawii Roll. Maybe they have been attempting to duplicate the very stress-free expertise of taking part in on a Wii in Hawaii in a sushi roll moderately than making a typo (though actually, who really does that on trip?). This roll, with prawn tempura, cucumber, avocado, imitation crab, mango and fish roe, got here in giant, neatly constructed items. The roll was visually interesting, though I believed the sweetness of the mango sauce wasn’t a great pairing for the savoury prawn tempura. The prawn, nonetheless, was meaty and scrumptious.
General, I used to be greater than happy with my go to to Sushi Fu, particularly given the reasonably priced pricing. The service was additionally very pleasant throughout my go to. If it weren’t for the truth that Port Coquitlam is not probably the most handy for me to transit to, I can see this being a spot I might go to recurrently.
