New West BC
It’s date night.
We haven’t been for sushi in forever.
So now the question as to where to go. I’ve been hearing very good things about Sushi Well but she doesn’t like it there. They have purple rice?
I suggested Hyack Sushi. I haven’t been there.
Nope. She wants Ki. So that’s that.
I have been here before and it was very good.
We started with the Mango Roll special. It looked so good we dove in before I got a pic.I
t’s a California roll with mango and what I assume is masago on top. It was really good.
We next had the prawn tempura.
Very yummy. Though I wouldn’t have minded it being fried a touch longer to crisp it up a bit more. Still very delicious.
Then came the gyoza.
I’m not sure why exactly but somehow I prefer these over Chinese pot stickers. Pretty much a must for me when I have sushi. It’s a pork dumpling steamed first and then pan-fried for that great crispy exterior.
And lastly the nigiri.
Tai (Red Snapper), Red Tuna, Kani (snow crab), Tuna, Toro (Tuna belly) and Hamachi (Yellowtail).
The best was the snow crab, what flavour! My least favorite was the Red tuna. It was a little too chewy. I enjoyed them all though.
They also have good sushi rice here. Some restaurants it’s too sticky but not here.
To me you can’t go wrong at Ki Sushi.
Is it the best I’ve ever had?
No. Definitely not.
But for a little town like New West it’s great.
