The floating boats at the sushi bar are cute, although when we arrived, relatively near closing, they were empty, other than a few with little piles of wasabi or pickled ginger. The ambiance is lacking when you are watching empty little boats float by. In any event, I'm happy with the standard conveyor belt if the fish is good. the fish was ifne (as is the case everywhere in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island), but the rice was clearly not sushi rice. Also, the wasabi tasted more like some kind of western spice. My Japanese wife and I were amazed, because we have lived in Asia and have eaten sushi in several countries. Even in small midwestern U.S. cities that are not cosmopolitan, we have never been served sushi that appears to have been made with standard rice, rather than sushi rice. There was absolutely no flavor of sushi rice, which must be made with sushi vinegar. As an aside, this was also the most expensive sushi that we have found at a conveyor belt-type sushi restaurant. We ate only a small sampling of sushi and left, hungry and disappointed. By the way, this review requires a rating for all items, even though on option (which is disallowed) is "unknown." I really don't have any comments on the service itself, but I am forced to pick something in order to get the review accepted.
