Ebisu on Broadway.

I got to try a lot since my mother coudpnt each much. I pretty much ate her portions as well.

Miso Clam Soup was good, the clams were tasty and the soup was not overly salty. The other soup was disappointing in terms of the size of shrimp and shrooms. Nothing like the picture at all. Taste was pretty good as well. Liked the clam better.

Had both garden and sashimi salad. Nothing special here. The sashimi was decent but small and thin. You only got four pieces.

Takoyaki was delicious, and the salmon carpaccio was not bad. Nothing that screams wow at me.

Sushi entree was good. I had to pay a lot extra to get imperial rice. Had to add $7.50 to get it for the crunch munch roll (forced to upgrade to 8 pcs) and 0.25 per piece of nigiri. The sashimi was average but I did enjoy the crunch munch roll. Not quite worth the $12.95 tag.

Yakiudon was an absolute delight. No complaints here. Seasoned well with good flavors had me wanting more. The sushi had me craving Sushi California since Ebisu's wasn't all that great tasting.

Had ice cream tempura and regular green tea ice cream. I liked the green tea better. The tempura was soft and under was vanilla ice cream. Coma inducing. Comes with chi plate driZzle, whipped cream, and strawberries. The green tea ice cream was your standard, with whipped cream and mint with a strawberry.

Was it worth the $28 per person? No, you are paying for them taking away your plate after each tiny, clean meal, and for their decent water/tea service.

If you are wanting imperial rice sushi, go try some at sushi California. Ebisu is nothing special when it comes to sushi, and over priced as well. Go here for their happy hour and late night. You may still be disappointed with portion sizes as my friend was the other time we went. Other than that, I think the only reason I was stuffed is because I basically had 1.5 of a dine out.

Hurricane Grill Yaletown $18. Worth it. Regular cactus club/moxies style food.

Clam chowder was good tasting with an average amount of stuff in the soup. Salad was not overdressed but more than I would like.

Pork tenderloin was pre cut but cooked nicely. Lacked a bit of flavor but that's just me. I feel like a lot of cream and butter was added to the mashed potatoes and mushrooms to make up for it. But for the price they weren't overly dry. A little chewy though (steak).

Desserts were too sweet. Chocolate mousse left me with an overly sweetened mouth I couldn't get rid of. Creme brule was your average one. Desserts were small so that's good (or bad).

Would come back for that, but not forcing down the desserts may not give you your moneys worth.
