First Impressions
The restaurant is located on the top floor of Tasku shopping centre and it serves an Estonian take on Japanese food. The menu includes a selection of sushi, woks, teriyaki skewers and other Japanese dishes. The restaurant is located next to a movie theatre, and this makes the atmosphere of the restaurant rather busy. On a busy day, be prepared to wait 30 minutes to an hour for your meal. As with many Estonian restaurants, after the first order you're pretty much on your own, so don't expect active table service.
The Food
In general, the sushi was unevenly cut and asymmetrical, some of them had a lot of rice, while others had only a feebly thin layer of it. The construction was weak. When dipping the sushi into the soy sauce the sushi instantly developed a life crisis and fell apart. Wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger were the standard offerings. Beer was lukewarm.

Bokkila ordered:
Noggano Maki - This was one of the best sushi. It's definitely not authentic Japanese sushi, but if you are a Bokkila, this deep-fried monstrosity will tantalize your taste buds and clog your arteries. 4/5
Ikura Maki - This sushi didn't deliver on its promise. The was supposed to be fish roe and Japanese omelette, but all you could taste was the overwhelming flavour of cream cheese. This was a disgrace. 0/5
Philadephia Maki - A reliable sushi. The cream cheese compliments the salmon well. 4/5
Red Mitsubishi Maki - Oh god, here we go again. An experience Bokkila would like to forget. The tuna was rough and the taste was just not fresh. The sushi didn't taste of much but what it did taste of was unpleasant. 0/5
Sake Inari Maki - This was a great experience. The taste was excellent and the consistency of the sushi was pleasant. The fried tofu and the salmon were a good pairing. 4.5/5
Chukka Maki - With this sushi, the taste was there, but the overall execution wasn't. Seaweed tasted great, but there wasn't enough of it. 3/5
