Some Japanese Delight for a Change

Salmon Sashimi
My family was invited by another family friend living in Richmond to dine with them in a Japanese restaurant, also located in Richmond, a few days ago. We made arrangements to meet with them at the Japanese restaurant and whoever got there first were to pen a name down in the queue. The restaurant doesn't accept reservations and when we got there, only did we understand the reason. Gami Sushi on No.3 Road in Richmond was really busy. There were lots of people in the diner and the flow of people were kind of orderly. There people going in and people leaving. The queue and wait wasn't too long.

We waited for about fifteen minutes before we got a table. That too, we had to allow some of the later patrons to overtake us on our turn because we were a larger party of seven. And had to wait for a table large enough to accommodate the seven of us. As it was our first experience dining at Gami Sushi, our friends explain their favorite menu items to us. And based on their recommendations we ordered several different items. From seeing the large dinner crowd in the diner, I presumed that this must be one of the favorite Japanese restaurant in Richmond.

Chicken Yaki Udon
Our orders were served within ten minutes. That was really impressive. Between the two families, we ordered an array of Japanese cuisines and they all look so delicious. Every plate was a special treat, from the Salmon Sashimi to the Beef Donburi. We were very satisfied with the meal and kept talking and comparing the taste of the different cuisines from the moment we left the place until we got home about forty minutes later. Another surprising point about the dining experience was the prices of the menu item. They were really affordable and not pricey at all.

I was made to understand that the reason for the affordable price of the items was due to the fact that this Japanese restaurant was just within a few minutes walk from a secondary school and many of the school kids would walk to this Japanese restaurant during their lunch break for their meals. So, the residence in the area get to share the benefit from the high volume of traffic in this restaurant. I would not mind at all waiting a little bit longer, so long as the food is tasty and affordable.
