This new Japanese restaurant and convenience store just opened on 17th Avenue S.W., offering a mix of made-to-order dishes, grab-and-go items and packaged snacks and treats. The menu includes four flavours of “pokerritos,” which give you the choice of classic salmon, wasabi California, spicy buldak tuna or veggie crunch in the form of a sushi burrito or a poke bowl. We’ve got our eye on the classic salmon sushi burrito, which is stuffed with salmon, sushi rice, jalapenos, carrots, avocado, kale, red cabbage and spicy mayo.
