pronto

tonight was my first time trying this restaurant. the menu has a huge amount of both sushi and non sushi selections! the miso soup was good, but not very warm. the crispy spicy shrimp and the crispy philadelphia california rolls were my favourite! both had such delicious hints of spice and creaminess. the chicken teriyaki bowl was delicious and the portion size was generous. we came home with many left overs and it was just over $30.00 for two! the service was ok, but the girl taking the orders and running the till looked over worked. she could hardly keep up when it came time to deliver thefoodto the table or to take payments! will definitely be back again but hopefully on a less busy evening.

okay, but not authentic. pronto is good for 'canadian approximation of japanese food', but if you've eaten curry or ramen in japan, you'll be disappointed. the tonkatsu curry don (in my photo) had almost no curry sauce (you can see a little bit of liquid on one side of the container), and none of the veggies that are usually in curry rice. the pork cutlet was great though!

i've also had the tonkatsu ramen. it's more of a fancier instant ramen than the ramen you'd get in a similar restaurant in japan - different noodles and different broth (both of which i suspected were a prepackaged type).

thefoodis good, and if you wanted to introduce someone to japanesefoodpronto is a fine choice, but it won't fill the need for anyone nostalgic forfoodthey ate in japan.

not bad, good for quick easy food. orders here seem to take a long time, and thefoodisn't amazing. it is, however, well priced and good enough. i've been a few times now, and leave happy :)

i quite like this restaurant. it is nice to be able to get sushi near the university and it is a great idea to set this up as a fastfoodrestaurant in this location .. the service was indeed quick and the staff seemed friendly. the restaurant was also clean and despite being fastfoodthe dishes were decent. i enjoyed the salmon sashimi and salmon roll. the salmon salad was also good. i'd definitely stay away from the california salad. way too much dressing that was too sweet. i'll be going back.

strengths and weaknesses. a fast-food sushi place is a welcome addition to regina. the first time that i went, i had the salmon sashimi which was perfect and served nicely chilled. the second time that i went, however, i ordered the same but this time the fish was served way too cold which detracted from the experience. i also ordered a tempura udon which was served extremely hot to the point that it was not possible to eat it without waiting for it to cool down (or getting burned). the problem is that as i waited, the tempura inside the broth got soggy. so i had the sashimi too cold, and the soup too hot (with soggy tempura)... i also tried two of their jumbo rolls (and they have several smothered in japanese mayo--which, i must admit, i like a lot). i tried their pronto roll and their mango roll. both were pretty good. so on the whole, this place is neither absolutely great (like some reviews suggest) nor terrible (like other reviews suggest). the place certainly serves sushi that is good enough but they need to pay much closer attention to thefoodthey serve. sashimi should be nicely chilled (not icy cold), udon should be hot but not burning the tongue and the lettuce in the california salad needs to be a lot less and fresher (or even non existent; while i do not know this for sure, i highly doubt that in japan they serve salads that are primarily lettuce). despite the limitations that i mentioned, i think that i can have an enjoyable quick meal there and i would go back.

thefoodwas not fresh. the smoked salmon looks exactly like the smoked salmon from superstore. it's cooked and is not very fresh. when i order sushi i expect it raw unless stated otherwise. the avocado in the roll i ordered was not fresh, it was brown and already going bad. not appetizing at all.

worst sushi ever!. i never write reviews on things like this and only believe half of what i read but after my experience with this place i had to come on and say something. i heard a good review so i went. when i got there the place was empty and it was lunch hour which should have been a clue for me. ordered got take away, and the left. opened thefoodup and there were no chopsticks. the mango roll didn't have crab, the avocado in the one roll was brown going black and the smoked salmon tasted like it was 2 weeks old. took it back and they wouldn't do anything for me and wanted me to wait for them to call the manager to come down to sort it out after i had already waited 10 minutes. will not be going back.

only a few weeks old and i know i will be back again and again. it might be a little pricey but thefoodis to die for. the chefs obviously care about their food; it shows in their product and presentation.
