Green Leaf Sushi Review

I took Sunday off so decided to go pig out. Went to eat at Green Leaf Sushi in Kitsilano. We had to wait outside in the cold because we were too early. They open at 11:30am and we were the first ones there. It's a tiny restaurant and a lot of people came in after we were seated. The service was good, they welcomed us out loud in Japanese. They refilled our tea all the time (not like some places).

Amy said they are famous for their Aburi sushi (rectangular pressed sushi). We ordered the Aburi set, not sure what the name was. The set came with 6 different types of Aburi sushi. I'm not 100% sure what each roll was because I couldn't hear the waitress when she was telling us about it. I believe you have to eat it from the scallop side (least flavour) to the spicy blackish white side (most flavour). Not sure if the waitress told us but I ate it that way.

It was pretty yummy. Each one had a different taste (obviously). My favourite was the basil because it tasted like pasta sauce or pizza. I guess that's because of the basil taste and I love basil. Some of them were spicy but it wasn't that spicy to me. It depends how much you can tolerate it.

The set was almost $70 between 4 people. It's reasonable I guess because there is another high end restaurant that sell the same type of sushi at a higher price. Overall, I think Green Leaf Sushi is really good and the layout of their sushi is really pretty. One thing they should make changes to... the washroom, they should have another washroom. I had to wait in line and there were people behind me as well. =)

From top to bottom, hotate (scallop), basil, salmon, aburi tobiko, not sure the last 2.

Thank you for coming out for lunch. =)
