Extra A La Carte Order

Since I do not normally reside in Vancouver, but visit quite often due to my family, I enjoy trying new places and returning if they prove worthy. If the place is quite impressive, I would pass the word along to my family and friends. 

While eating at Sushi Town, I was quite impressed with the portions as I believed the "extra" portion pictured above was part of the Party B. However, near the end of the meal, the server notified us that he had delivered another table's order to our table. Aside from the mistake, the sushi at Sushi Town is quite good and the portions are generous.
