Jun Sushi

"I fancy sushi tonight" said I. So we went to Jun Sushi in Yoho Mall. It was convenient for the other half. I didn't want high end Tsukiji Fish Market sushi, I just wanted reasonably priced sushi and  maybe some gyozas. It was one of those places where you have your own tablet, scroll through and click on the dishes you want and then send your order straight through to the kitchen. We didn't want to go crazy, so we got some favourites and some things a little different. Assorted flamed sushi plate was pretty decent. charred salmon, scallop, squid tentacles and two kinds of eel. For me, and this is just my taste, please don't attack me for not being authentic, I would have preferred the pieces to have been a touch more 'flamed' but still, they were perfectly fine. 
Rolls next. We went for salmon, with salmon roe, and I think flying fish roe. 

geberous and tasty

This was a generous set of three rolls with plenty of salty, fishy roe. I have a mild obsession with salmon roe, and this was a feast for eyes, mouth and stomach. Granted, none of the individual ingredients were the best i'd even had, but for the price ($48 i think, but don't quote me on that, the other half has the bill) you can't go wrong. 
Soft shell crab. Three words that deserve a collective round of applause each and every time they are used together. On their own, in a curry, or in this case, in a sushi roll, I love them.

This was nice too, though the flavour of the crab was a little muted. I believe they were coated with another kind of roe but I have no idea which kind, I just know that they added a nice pop and crunch to the experience. Just be careful when dipping them in the soy sauce. I, in my youthful exuberance, dipped in with the roll upright and promptly lost most of the roe into the sauce. I suggest dipping at the side where the roe isn't present. 
Gyozas next. Since my first trip to Osaka a few years back, I have seldom been able to resist a gyoza when it's on a menu. These were not too bad, though initially the amount of dipping sauce they gave us wasn't enough to drown a thought in.  That being said, as soon as we asked for more, they happily brought us a much larger portion. They looked and tasted like gyoza, though a smidge on the small side. 

a little small but tasty

I had never had a chicken wing gyoza before. I know, "how have you got through adult life you freak?" I hear you baying. Well tonight put a stop to that embarrassing fact. Those of you as naive as I, who are not aware of this phenomenon allow me to clarify. This is a boned-out chicken wing stuffed with regular gyoza filling of pork and seasoning. Yes, yes, yes people, this exists and you very much should get on the outside of some of these. What's not to like? Two of my not-so-guilty pleasures wrapped together in loving temptation. 

yes, they are real!

The Other half assures me that this place has a queue outside every evening. I can kind of understand why. If you want reasonably priced sushi and Japanese snacks without pomp and ceremony that you can order on an ipad (other tablets are available) then this ticks your boxes. 
If you are wondering by Yuen Long (you never know, you might be one day) then why not try try cin.
