I order the Lucky Strike Roll and Avocado Roll (gluten-free option) fairly often because I love it. The Lucky Strike Roll is a little pricey but it's so worth it. The flavour is amazing and it's probably my favourite sushi roll I've ever had. I'll definitely order it again as a treat.

I'm so disappointed. I order the Lucky Strike Roll (GF) as a treat (at $20 for one roll, definitely a treat), but last time it has very little flavour with paper-thin pieces of tuna on top, and this time there wasn't even any sauce on top and it was oddly very warm. They still skimped on the tuna, but not quite as bad as last time. This roll used to be perfection, and now it's just a little disappointing. I'll probably order it again because I'm a sucker and I'll chase the dream of what it used to be for a little while longer.

The GF Lucky Strike Roll is usually amazing, but this time it was just okay. For $18 I expect a roll to be really flavourful. The slices of tuna on top were SUPER thin this time, too. I order this as a treat, so it was a little disappointing that it wasn't as good as usual. It was alright though. The Avocado Roll was fine. The Club Soda is actually low sodium club soda, which doesn't taste as good (and generic store brand, so not worth $3 a can).
I also asked for no wasabi because even a little bit makes me sick and they still included wasabi, which has smeared over 2 pieces of sushi.
I hope the quality goes back to what it used to be.

Well, I gave it my best try. The Lucky Strike Roll (GF) has drastically changed in the last little while and it's not as flavourful as it used to be. The seared tuna on top is barely seared (they used to sear each piece, but now it looks like they sear it before slicing it, so there's very little sear) and paper thin, and there's barely any sauce, and even the filling isn't as tasty as it used to be.
I tried this roll 4 times since I noticed the drastic change in quality, but at $20 a roll I think I'm just going to have to give up hoping it'll go back the way it was. It used to be one of my favourite rolls that I've ever had, and I'd order it as a treat. The Avocado Roll is fine enough.

Taisho is my go to sushi spot in Victoria! Consistently the yummiest and freshest sushi. Love love love. The tuna lover roll is my favourite but every single roll I've tried is good so you can't go wrong.
