This was a great place for a nice dinner. We tried the salmon noodles, where it was a novelty with aged salmon cut in long strands, served with 2 different dipping sauce. Both dips were very different and very good in their own way. We also ordered the seafood tower, which was quite the selection of seafood. We had asked the waitress if that was enough food for two and she said it was plenty. We ended up ordering Truffle & Wagyu oshi sushi, was delicious and the Stamina Dragon Roll, which had a whole unagi laid on top of the entire roll, also very tasty.
Service was awesome. Super friendly. Presentation of food was very important for them, as the chef came out to correct the presentation when the servers placed the food on the table, which I found pretty impressive.
Food was very fresh and super tasty. It is a tad pricey, so it’s a place for a nice treat. Although for the area, prices are high, but after eating here, it is justified.

I ate at this restaurant about an hour ago, and I thought I couldn’t wait any longer without leaving this review. First of all, the service was a 10/10. The chef came to our table and explained the truffle pasta to us, and then even came back to check on us again. On top of that, our server was kind and attentive. As for the food, you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Everything was absolutely delicious. We are definitely coming back. Keep it up, guys, you’re doing an amazing job.

I first found this place on Instagram through someone’s post about their new opening, and after getting curious, I’ve now visited twice. Both visits were incredibly satisfying. Considering the quality of the food, the prices are amazing, and you can really tell how fresh and high-quality the ingredients are.
The plating is beautiful, and I tried a variety of dishes—none of them were disappointing. My personal favorites were the shishito peppers, the bluefin nigiri set, the truffle & wagyu aburi sushi, and the wagyu yakiniku.
The atmosphere is also great for enjoying wine, and the pairing with the food was excellent. Overall, this is easily one of the best restaurants I’ve been to recently. Highly recommend!

New Sushi place in my neighborhood that I was curous about. I could tell the place was new based on the service – it wasn’t bad, but it seemed like they were still trying to figure out their process and were a bit unsure for some questions I asked. I wouldn’t say it ruined the experience though.
We ordered the Petit Omakase Plate, Tempura Udon, House Roll and Real Crab California roll. One thing I like about their menu is that they have a lot of options so you can go fancy with their specialty blue fin tuna options or also more casual like how we did in this case.
I don’t have any complaints of the food, it was decent but not amazing sushi. However, if I had to recommend anything, it’d be the petit omakase plate. I liked the variety it offers, presentation was nice and all of the samples were good – it gives a good representation of what the place can offer. Overall, would I return? If I were in the area and it was convenient, yes but I wouldn’t say it’s a destination sushi spot. I know they have some instagram worthy dishes if you like to take pictures, but I evaluate more on if I was impressed with the food and if I feel the value was worth the price. In this case, I’d say the pricing was fair and portion size was decent for sure, but it’s definitely not my favourite sushi spot.

I visited for dinner tonight with my two teenagers based on a high recommendation from my brother. We were looking for something different, and this did not disappoint.
We started with the prawn tempura, which was delicious—the batter was light, perfectly cooked, and didn’t feel greasy at all. For mains, my daughter loved the fresh salmon noodles, and my son enjoyed the spicy salmon donburi; he handles heat well, but even he noted it had a serious (but tasty) kick! I had the beef teriyaki, which came with rice and miso soup. Every bite was excellent.
The restaurant is cozy with a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. While they only have four underground parking spots, street parking is available. Service was polite and incredibly fast—we were in and out within an hour. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!

My family and I had an unforgettably delicious lunch at Blue Coast. The quality of ingredients are amazingly fresh and combined into beautifully curated bites FULL of flavor. I think it’s rare to find another restaurant with such high quality food at a more affordable price. Highly recommend the wagyu truffle & salmon oishis, o-toro nigiris, brie cheese karaage, and teishoku for lunch. Staff were friendly and attentive. 10/10 must try!

Coasting to a second chance…
Came here the first time during its opening week after seeing it popped up on IG. Did a walk in and didn’t know reservation was needed or recommended, but the wait was short.
Some of the staffs were still in training, the atmosphere was casual yet vibrant. Nice little place.
After trying the food from each category, some fell quite short during the first visit, almost deterred me from coming back, but the chef/ owner came over with kind gestures and before leaving I promised I will come back to give it a second chance (although he said I wont by the sounds of my concerns).
Anyways, VOILA! Here I am back for a second try (unfortunately already forgotten a dissatisfied customer lol). Here’s the result the second time around…
After being seated, here were the food I ordered;
1. Miso soup. Pretty basic but it was more luke warm than hot, simple inexpensive item but restaurants should take note that sometimes little items could set the tone for the experience.
2. Appy 4pcs (appetizer tempura. It’s pretty good. Had that light soft crunch to the batter without the greasiness.
3. Oyster motoyaki. Nice little layer of cheese and used a few fresh whole oysters to complete the dish but wish it was less watery and the outside a bit more caramelized.
4. Wagyu aburi carpaccio. It was tender but lack depth and taste ( and the fried garlic slices were as hard as rocks?!?)
5. Seafood tower for 2. Everything was okay, I wouldn’t say it’s a great deal but it did add up to its value (out of kusshi oysters, had to replace with another kind but cost $4 more, not about the money, experience restaurant or business would’ve simply absorbed it)
6. Bluefin sashimi trio. It was okay but the Akami could be better with a more bold red colour, it was almost a chutoro. As for the chu toro, a bit lacking in that nice rich buttery taste. The otoro was buttery but wish it was more of a center cut to have a bit of texture.
7. Madai, wild salmon, foie gras, A5 wagyu, ikura nigiris. The wagyu and foie gras were on the drier side, missing that rich buttery taste. The rest of the nigiris were pretty fresh.
8. Uni nigiris. Pretty good, good balance of uni and rice ratio.
9. Okra fry. It is what it is.
10. Truffle cream udon. Yes and no…. Yes it’s nice that a few small slices of truffle sprinkled on top but no because besides that the dish just wasn’t it?!? Udon swimming in a little pool of light cream sauce just didn’t excite my tastebuds.
This place is definitely a nice little addition to the Joyce neighborhood. It’s vibrant with high ceilings, and cozy with a welcoming atmosphere.
As for its service; very friendly and attentive staffs throughout the course of the meal. In addition, explain the arrival of each dish.
The food overall was decent and improved a bit since the first visit but could be better in certain areas still but that will come with time. Hopefully one day if I do return to give it another try, it will be better.
Anyways, as promised to the owners: chef, I went back to give it a 2nd try (honestly, if it wasn’t for the nice gestures at the end of the 1st visit from the chef/ owners, I wasn’t planning to be back lol). Unfortunately, it fell short abit 2nd time around, nevertheless, I do recommend a try if you are in the neighbourhood and reservation is recommended during peak hours.

Came here for an early dinner and it was fantastic. Very reasonable price for the quality and taste of food – heads up portions may seem a bit small, but everything that we had was rich and flavourful. The chef came out to explain one of the dishes to us and was very happy to see us enjoy the food. Will definitely be back!
