Tobiko Sushi is possibly our newest favourite sushi joint in Surrey, the current being Maguro. It’s located in Fleetwood by the Pizza Hut and Wendy’s. The menu is pretty cool in that it has a bunch of Dragon Rolls in almost all of the Power Ranger colours. No joke. The menu has a lot of rolls, and for sure, my friends want to try all the Dragon Rolls. They have a bunch of dishes on their walls which aren’t on their menu, so be sure to look around. They also serve bubble tea – unfortunately my zodiac sign’s drink ran out of lychee. My friend’s gemini drink was delicious though.
I ordered an Oyako Don and a Tokyo Crunch Roll. The oyako don was a bit different from what I was used to. I’m used to the egg already being cooked and mixed in with the rice with the onions and sauce. This one came with a raw egg cracked on top of my breaded chicken. Most of the sauce was already at the bottom, and got tastier the deeper I got into the bowl. The chicken was crisp and tender. It was good, but a bit different. I like my eggs cooked, and the rice mixed better. The Tokyo Crunch roll is a deep fried california roll with a sweet sauce on it. It was crisp, but the sushi got a bit too warm, and got a bit pasty.
My friends ordered the Miso Soup, Super Dragon Roll, Takoyaki, Black Dragon Roll, Priate Ship Roll, and Avocado Roll. The Super Dragon Roll was huge, and a little strange, in the fact they put cheese on top of the sushi between the roll and salmon – but, it was processed cheese…still my friend liked it. My friends liked all the rolls actually. My friend was craving a plain avocade roll, and it was the best he’s had. So buttery and rich. The takoyaki almost didn’t come, we had to ask to remind them. The friend who typically doesn’t like octopus was hesitant in trying it, but once he did he enjoyed it. There wasn’t that much octopus in it though, not sure if that’s a good thing to those that enjoy takoyaki.
Tobiko Sushi has lots of cool rolls, and the portions are really big. The price is pretty good too. We’re happy to find another local place to have some good Japanese food. My friends love the place, but I think I have to try a few more things (that I can eat) before I make it one of my favourites.
