Everyone has their preferences. Just like how I'm personally not a big fan of drenching tuna in spicy sauce, but it's ok every once in a while. It's one of the more popular dishes at those Sushi Garden places and even Ebisu.

I'm pretty sure Ebisu was actually the first restaurant to start doing Aburi box press sushi in Vancouver. We started doing it in 2006, Miku opened up shop in 2008. They just marketed way more and pushed it as their gimmick, we just quietly had it in our menu lol. We serve more pieces and cheaper too. We have variations, box pressed salmon with a Tiger prawn inside.

I'm missing a lot but I'm sure you get the gist of it
@jinxcrusader I think thats all you need to try hahaha. I hope you went to Taka's BEFORE Taka san retired. Its shitty now since his disciples taken over
Back on the topic of Green leaf. I did not have a good impression simply because I HATE restaurants that blatantly copy another's popular item and try capitalize on it with an inferior copy. Have some fucking pride in your work. See also cattle cafe and main island cafe and all the other places that tried to make crappy fish soup noodles after seeing Deer Garden's success

Seared Engawa is amazing. I also prefer seared Saba over regular saba, brings out the flavour much more.
On the topic about copying... this place
Directly ripped my personal photos and put it in their menu. They didn't even have the decency to change the corny names that I thought up lol. There's so much competition in such a saturated market now there's only so many things you can do with sushi. Trying to keep prices reasonable, quality up.
