Choo Choo Sushi Portside
Fresh, melt-in-your-mouth fish and generous portions define the standout sushi here, with many praising the consistent quality and incredible freshness of the sashimi. However, some diners have encountered issues with unevenly cut rolls, soggy edamame, and a heavy reliance on mayonnaise to mask average flavours.
