This St Pierre's understands the magic of how to execute a superb tuna rice ball. Honestly the best rice ball I have ever had the first time I came here. Yes the second time wasn't as good but it was still one of the top 10.
It's a standard format cafe. I got for one thing, my fave Katsu Chicken on Rice. Always an easy purchase. Place is clean and staff are always willing to help.
I ordered a vegetarian bento bowl today via the kiosk for takeaway. Whilst waiting, I stood near the counter and observed the preparation process. To my shock, I noticed there was only one chopping board and one knife being used for all ingredients. The same knife that had just been used to cut chicken was immediately used to chop the vegetarian tempura for my order, without any change of board or knife. For a restaurant that has recently expanded its menu to include a wide range of vegetarian options, this is extremely disappointing and unacceptable. Any establishment offering vegetarian dishes should understand the basic principle of avoiding cross-contamination with meat. Most people who specifically order vegetarian meals do so because they are particular about avoiding such mixing. When I very politely raised this as feedback with the staff member serving me, I was met with rudeness and complete dismissal. She would not even allow me to finish my point, repeatedly saying that all items are fried in the same fryer so there is no point in asking for separate utensils. Not only is this an illogical response, it also shows a lack of respect towards customers’ dietary requirements and a poor attitude towards feedback. It is unacceptable to promote vegetarian options whilst showing no regard for the basic etiquette of preparing them separately from meat. I left the restaurant feeling hurt, upset, and disrespected. I would strongly advise any vegetarians to avoid this place, as their practices and customer service clearly demonstrate that they do not take vegetarian food seriously.
Love this sushi shop, always tasty, nice catering trays and friendly staff
The sushi here has gone way downhill. Had this 3 times recently and the quality has been terrible. The salmon sushi I got recently had pieces with a sliver of salmon and similar sized pieces of avocado (some bruised). The bigger pieces of salmon tasted odd, and on closer inspection looked like it was frozen as the salmon meat is a different consistency to fresh salmon. The portions are also smaller and rice is not quite right, a tad hard and not packed correctly. Seems like a change in ownership/ management, maybe the same people as the Mt Wellington St Pierre's which is even worse.
Yesterday I went there and ordered 4 items of vegetarian chicken sushi and rice dishes for my children who are vegetarian from birth. After having eaten through a few mouthful my youngest child said to us that this rice dish tasted weird. To our horror we found out that it was a real chicken rice dish. When we took it back to the store and told them , the store manager had a smile on her face , she didn’t seem it was any of a big deal. She didn’t offer to give refund until we asked for it. When we asked for the branch owner and head office number , she didn’t want to give to us , she took nearly 10 minutes to hand it out to us. Clearly we can see she doesn’t have any sense of guilt for what just happened to our daughter , who felt sick and wanted to throw up at that time. I will never go to this store or have any trust in st Pierre sushi ever again. This incident could have be worse if it was a nuts or other allergy items that could cause death or severe symptoms. The sad part is the manager incharge on that day doesn’t give a damn about the effect this incident had on our daughter. If I could give zero star for this branch I would. Because I truely don’t think that they even deserve a 1 star.
St Pierres is generally always consistently pretty good, its not as good as speciality sushi stores but you know what you're getting and it's good value. The Lunn Ave store is clean and the sushi is always fresh
They make to order if wanted. I had grilled salmon uburi made, and it was lovely. Only a short wait. Layout means there is no obvious waiting area, and a baby change table was not available.
Good Experience. Good food. Though I waited a little while before being served. Odd as I stood there and no real reference or acknowledgement as I was seen by two staff. Until they walked up and said how can I help after about 3mins of waiting at the counter.
Super quick service and very consistent sushi, great range of products too
