| - J-Time was the first place I ever went for sushi in Toronto and it still remains one of the better places I have been to. It's on the north side of Bloor, which seems to be the side of the street with the lesser-known sushi establishments.
Firstly, someone mentioned that the decor is nothing to write home about. This is a false statement because everyone I know who has been to J-Time loves the decor. It is simply geometric shapes cut out of neon construction paper but it looks great! Sushi places aren't particularly known for being kitsch but this was a nice attempt at it.
Secondly, J-Time named its maki rolls after Toronto. This scores HUGE points with me. Why not chow down on the CN Tower, SkyDome, and hockey rolls for the night?
As I don't eat anything but salmon and tuna, my options aren't endless but J-Time accommodates my diet. What I do recommend is their vegetarian pizza. Sushi pizza is a rice patty covered in tempura flakes, then fried, topped with a choice of fresh fish, and is mind-blowingly delicious as it combines cool and hot sensations in your mouth. The veggie one is the way to go because they top it with huge slices of avocado and it is no secret that avocado is a pricey ingredient. (And it's better than New Gen's veggie version, if I say so myself.)
If you going during certain hours, you do get the typical soup and salad dance, which is always nice.
Take out is also a good option but you can be in and out of the restaurant fairly quickly.
