While I was in Prince George visiting my son and his family last week we had the opportunity to get out for dinner, just the two of us.
I asked him “Of all the restaurants in PG that you’ve wanted to try but haven’t yet which did you want to try tonight?”
He came up with Mr Sushi, about 15 minutes north of PG on the Hart Hwy.
I’m always down for sushi. Even in Prince George.
We are trying a few staples off the menu and one roll I haven’t seen before.
Pork Gyoza
Pretty standard fare in Sushi restaurant here, and pretty standard quality. Tastes good, but it’s no different than any other Gyoza I’ve had. I wonder if they all come from the same place?
Toro Nigiri
Not the best Toro. The flavour was ok, but it came in 3 different temperatures. Still frozen, cool and room temp. I do prefer it room temp as that allows the flavours to shine, frozen isn’t great. The fish wasn’t the best quality though. The fish had a lot of sinew, creating an unenjoyable eating experience. Add the poor quality to the varying temperatures and you seldon get the best Nigiri.
Mexican Roll
Tuna and avocado with tempura crunch with two spicy sauces.
Good flavour combinations with the tuna and sauces,there was just too much of the sauce. The roll is drowning on that plate
The miso soup was as good as any miso soup I’ve had a gazillion times before.
Our tea came to the table cold. But they were quick to replace it.
Considering where we are, Mr. Sushi is pretty good, well exceeding my expectations. But you can do better in Vancouver.
