| - I walked into this place while hungry in Parkdale and am certainly glad I did. The atmosphere is warm and casual, the staff really friendly and the food delicious!
I have a visual impairment so I'm not able to read the menu and the staff were so helpful in going over the sushi combos with me without a moment's hesitation. They also came to help when I was bumbling around with the soy sauce container (ProTip: you have to push on the top while pouring it).
I ordered the California Tempura Roll with the Crazy Boy Roll (a tempura'ed roll with cucumber, avocado and cream cheese). I was initially regretful that I ordered two deep fried rolls, but found them to be wonderful; light and crispy, not greasy, with the ingredients still fresh and flavourful inside. The rolls were quite substantial and came with plenty of wasabi and ginger. Prior to bringing me my sushi, they also served me water, green tea, a decent miso soup and a lightly dressed salad without me having to ask for any of it. They even brought over a little candle for my table! I know some of this is standard fare at many sushi joints, but I come from a small town with two AYCE joints run by the same guy with the same lacklustre service protocols. My only complaint was that the green tea was a bit weak, but that could've just been that day. Everything came to about $18 which seems pretty reasonable for what I got.
All the others in the place seemed to be regulars and spoke very appreciatively to the staff. The three working behind the counter called out "Thankyou!" in unison as each person left, myself included. Bottom line, I was very satisfied with my visit here and will definitely be back if hunger or a sushi craving strikes me once again in Parkdale.
