Good prices, nice sushi. Ask for what the monthly special sushi combo is, it's usually the best. Combos are about $11, they come with miso soup or salad, and overall they're pretty filling. It closes at 9pm and doesn't take reservations.

Cute and spacious place, with good wifi, and good drinks (I love their chai latte). Friday nights they have a board game night organized by a Meetup group until past 11pm. Also, they make a wonderful, coffee free, iced drink: Blended Iced Yerba Mate Latte!! Totally go for it!

Our favourite sushi place. It's a tiny place, super cozy and themed around Bob Marley for some reason. They don't take reservations, and unless you're ok with waiting quite a bit, you want to go there before 7pm or after 8pm. They have a happy hour up to 7pm, which is, taking a beer you get a menu item with it. Pretty good deal. Be careful: their sushi rolls are HUGE!! Take maximum 2! Unless you're ok with taking home some. Super good priced, it's a gem.

Thai restaurant that tastes super authentic. Their spicyness scale goes from 1-10: 3 is very spicy. Don't dare too much, 4 is almost unbearable! They have a lot of choice on their menu and their thai tea is really good. Good prices too.
