Koganei Japanese Seafood Restaurant

After a long drive all the way to brampton with my bro to drop something off, us 2 hungry pigs went to have sushi again on our way home. Yes, another night of sushi. It's like sushi galore weekend.

Their menu was really nice, lots of appealing pictures making me wanting to try everything. They serve Surf Clam sashimi, even abalone sashimi priced seasonally. But no, we did not try that lol. My bro was paying again and after yesterday's bill, I didn't request on wanting to order anything specific today.

We ordered a sashimi and sushi combo $29.99 claiming to serve 2 people.
I thought it was quite decent considering the variety of different fishes served. The red snapper sashimi was surprisingly pretty good, a lot more texture than the crappy ones at Gal's or other normal sushi restaurants. All the fishes were fresh in general. They served the fatty tuna too! Surprisingly there was no unagi though.

The black cod.
This was really good. The texture was really soft and sweet, the taste was really close to the one I had in Vancouver. As always, the portion was small. This 'delicate' dish was $8 I think?

Stir-fried Clams
I think this is the first time I've seen this dish at a japanese restaurant, kinda surprised my bro decided to order it. But it did taste really good, the sauce was a bit spicy. The clams were big, chubby and fat. Oh and juicy too.

Steamed Egg?
I'm not quite sure the actual name of this dish. But it was basically steamed egg with seafood inside. There was shrimp, veggies, squid, and chicken. It was a bit tasteless and really relied on the seafood to bring in the taste. This was $5.

Food: Pretty good.
Service: Not bad. The place was freezing cold so I asked them if they could turn down the ac a bit. In the end they completely turned it off. Kinda made me feel bad...
Price: It depends what you order. If you went for a la carte then it would end up being pricy. Otherwise, ordering the sashimi/sushi combos is a good deal considering their variety of fishes, and for good quality too.
Atmosphere/Decoration: The location is a bit random since it was the first floor of an office building. But inside does look nice and cozy.
Overall: This place kinda reminds me of Izakaya Tsuki, good quality. I would like to come back to try more of their appetizers.
