pronto

tonight was my firsttimetrying 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 cametimeto deliver the food to the table or to take payments! will definitely be back again but hopefully on a less busy evening.

i love ramen, so  i was very disappointed when i tried the ramen at pronto.  it was the worst ramen i've ever had.  as soon as she put it on the table in front of me the smell made me lose my appetite completely, and  i was very hungry.  i tried to eat a bit of it but the broth was gross, and the noodles were terrible.  nexttimei want ramen i'll just stay home and make some icheban.  it will be better than this place's.

firsttimeat this place. ordered some basic sushi rolls and a couple expensive specialty rolls. basic rolls were disappointing. salmon was not fresh at all. you can tell the ingredients are old and cheap. the expensive rolls were stupidly huge with flavours all wrong and all over the map.
i stopped eating after 4 pieces.
the menu is way too big and it's hard to order if you've never been here before. maybe it's one of those places that only does a few things really well and you have to know what to order? i dunno.

service was awkward and most employees didn't understand english well. service was poor.

it's overpriced, even for being close to the university.
will never go back.
you want amazing sushi?
take the drive to emerald park for "urban sushi". best we've ever had.
they should go there and learn how to make sushi properly. we will stick with urban sushi for sure.

i dont get this place. okay, im korean, and i got served with korean language from korean server. she was not friendly at all, not helping at all. they just got my order, and served my food, and just talk with someone at the sushi bar all day. i was there at the firsttimeso i had no idea where i can get my chopstiks. when i asked her where can i get those, she blinked for few seconds, she said "its right over there" and i can read that she's adding "yeah you stupid one" on her face. very pissed-offed.

i ordersd port cutlet. what is this? the sauce tasted like water and the salad was aweful. pork? to hard to chew. i only ate few pieces of the cutelt, and rice. not even touch that garbage salad.

i was wondering, that did i get this horrible stuff because im korean?
i wish its just that pork. otherwise, i feel sorry for all of you whoever eats here.

and dont go there at winter time. i was sitting there and freeze to death whenever someone comes in or out.

pick your menu items wisely. i've ordered from pronto several times. i really like their bento boxes - the sushi always tastes great. however, i had a pretty bad ramen soup the lasttime- broth was okay but the noodles were over cooked and the pork was dry. plus for $10, you'd think they'd give you more than 2 small slices of pork in a serving... i may not order soups anymore but i will continue going back for sushi.

strengths and weaknesses. a fast-food sushi place is a welcome addition to regina. the firsttimethat i went, i had the salmon sashimi which was perfect and served nicely chilled. the secondtimethat i went, however, i ordered the same but thistimethe 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 the food they 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.
