| - We came across this place after wandering down Queen St. E. one night, and am I ever glad we did! They have some of the freshest sushi I've tasted, a wide selection of sashimi, and awesome service to boot.
Right across from Jilly's, the facade of Sushi Bar is pretty unassuming, and despite all the times I've passed by before, I never really gave it a second glance (no, *not* because I was distracted by the full length posters plastered on the other side of the street). Once you get inside though, you'll realize it's definitely a step above your average, cookie cutter, all-you-can-eat sushi joint.
I really liked the lanterns and the embroidered hangings they had over the bar. Sure, the characters were on the lanterns were Chinese rather than Japanese, but then again, the owners are neither, Korean in fact...just call it pan-asian fusion! The plastic screens dividing the booths are a nice touch and add a bit of privacy to your meal.
I'd definitely recommend getting the Love Boat platter, it has a nice variety of rolls (some spicy ones too, mmm) and fish, plus offers good value if you're going in for dinner. Also really loved their miso soup. Normally I shy away from the overly salty brew, but Sushi Bar added a cute little bundle of thin noodles to theirs, yum!
Our server was attentive and constantly smiling; she really helped make it a memorable experience. I'd definitely come back here again, even if only to hear her say "Sapporo piiitcher?"...err, I mean, to try the unagi! Open until 2 AM, this is the perfect place to drop in and refuel on some real food during those summer all-nighter adventures!
