| - Sushi Park is a tiny little takeout place, nestled in Woodchester Plaza. But don't let its humble exterior deceive you - this place is without a doubt the gold standard that I hold every new sushi place I go to against. In terms of taste-freshness-price ratio, no other sushi place that I've been to in the GTA has them beat.
I've been coming to this place ever since the current (super adorable!) owners took over, and I have NEVER been disappointed!
Their handrolls are absolutely unbeatable. I like the spicy salmon and LOVE the dynamite! Crispy, fresh seaweed, generous portions of fish and just the right amount of rice...these things will convert your sushi-hating friends into sushi fanatics! I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but I'm speaking from personal experience! AND they're 2 for $5.50 - are you kidding me?! Any other place I've been to would only give you ONE for that price!
Their big takeout platters are superb quality and have a wonderful variety, but I must admit that I don't often order these (from here or anywhere else). But the odd time that I've pulled one of these out to a party, the entire platter is wiped clean in minutes.
For lunch, my go-to item is the Maki Set B - 8pcs Kamikaze (spicy salmon/avocado/cucumber), 8pcs Dynamite, soup and salad for just about ten bucks. They always tell me it'll be ready in 15 minutes, but I get there in half that time and it's already waiting for me! Then I get so excited that I'm throwing maki rolls in my face on the drive back to work, and before I know it I've polished off all 16 rolls in 5 minutes flat because they're that god damned delicious. Er, I've said too much.
While their standard sushi rolls are superb quality, the fun thing about this restaurant is their Special Rolls - exotic, fanciful twists on sushi, some of which are unique to this place. I'm a regular eater of the Rainbow Dragon, Mango Dragon, Spicy Crunch Salmon, and Calamari rolls.
Their Kalbi dinner is also very good.
To top it all off, the owners, Hannah and Young Man, are some of the sweetest people I've ever met. They always remember you, and always greet you with warm, sincere smiles. Try sitting in some time - they like to give their regulars free treats here and there. :)
