Eating out with Friends and Family at Sushi Fang

We are making it our mission to eat our way around the Annapolis Valley, trying different restaurants, like Sushi Fang, to give you the scoop on great places to eat. #SupportLocal

Our family loves Sushi Fang.

Having lived in Japan and traveled through a lot of Asia, we love Asian food. Since the kids were little, I always introduced them to foreign food and made our own sushi. So, eating at Sushi Fang, is not a far stretch for them.

Sushi Fang used to be the place where my husband and I met for lunch on our own, or where we would go when the kids were out somewhere else.

However, the kids have now discovered the joys of Sushi Fang, and so now, it is where we go for a special occasion or for a treat.

The food is a fun and creative twist on traditional Asian food, and especially the sushi. They have lots of fun flavours to try. Like this banana sushi my son fell in love with.

Remember. Sushi does NOT mean raw fish. It is a vinegared rice.

All you Can Eat

There are two options when you go to Sushi Fang. One is all-you-can eat, and the other is off the menu. When you do all-you-can eat, you fill out paper forms to indicate what you would like to order.

Do not order more than you can handle, because if there is too much food left over, there may be a charge.

We go for small orders each time.

There is a kids’ price, too, so make sure you ask about that, too! Lunch time is cheaper than supper.

Service

One thing you have to remember about going to Sushi Fang is that the service is what I call Asian-style.

Did you know, in Japan, a waiter NEVER comes to your table unless you call out to them?

“Sumimasen!” (Excuse me!)

It takes awhile to get used to it, as that is not what we do in North America.

So, if you need service, flag them down. Wave at them. It’s the way restaurants work in Asia.

The Scoop about the Real Scoop Ice Cream Shop in Wolfville

Disclosure: Our family received an ice cream party at the Real Scoop Ice Cream Shop in Wolfville so we could have first-hand knowledge to share with you about this great new local business!

They Have Swings!

Enough said.

I can honestly say that I have never been in a food establishment that has swings!

Real Scoop Owner, Tammy, said they wanted to have something unique and fun in their new shop in Wolfville, and I can’t think of anything better than a swing!

We All Scream for Ice Cream!

All the ice cream at the Real Scoop is made onsite with real, quality ingredients. No preservatives. No chemicals. Everything you can pronounce and everything you’ll want to eat!

Choose your base flavour (Chocolate, Strawberry or Vanilla) and the price includes one mix-in of your choice.

The mix-ins are everything from cookie dough to Pop Tarts and Rice Krispie Squares! Just about anything you can imagine!

We opted for a little more traditional flavours like oreo crumbs, chocolate eggs and M&Ms.

You can immediately taste the homemade difference!

Then, one of the best parts is having it served in either a waffle cone or a bowl, all made freshly at the shop.

Besides ice cream, the Real Scoop makes and serves Belgian waffles made with authentic pearl sugar, the key ingredient in traditional Belgian Liege waffles!

On top of all that, they serve fair-trade coffee!

The Story Behind it All

Real Scoop’s owner, Tammy, told me that up until just recently, their family was living in Ontario. Tired of the hustle and bustle and the busy lifestyle, when their oldest daughter started attending Acadia, they decided to follow her here.

Tammy says she always wanted to open her own business. When she thought about what she loved – going camping and going for ice cream, she knew she had her business model.

Looking around Wolfville, there were no other ice cream shops in town, so decided to fill the void with the Real Scoop.

“The store matches perfectly the vision I had in my head!” says Tammy.

Tammy has experimented with the recipe and has perfected it with wholesome ingredients. She is proud of what she and her family has been able to build.

Stop in on a weekend and you might see all 4 of the family working behind the counter!

And, they have swings!

Right in front of the big picture window are 4 wooden swings. Have fun eating your homemade delicious ice cream or sipping your fair-trade coffee, and be sure to take a selfie!

The Real Scoop is a place you are going to want to come back to many times so you can try the different mix-ins and see what is on the menu that week!

Location

Located at 10 Gaspereau Ave, Wolfville (in the former Applewicks Building)
