I was recommended this place by a friend as it supposedly has "Toronto's freshest sashimi". I had really high hopes and it didn't fail me!
The restaurant is quite small, and we sat by a table next to the entrance. Waitresses were attentive. I think they have timers for each table so they know when to check up on guests.
Onto the food - We got the Tokujyo Zushi, which had 14 pieces of sushi. This platter has more specialty sushi than the Jyo Zushi, including scallop and yellowtail. I agree, the sashimi is really fresh! Some pieces were practically melting in my mouth.. mm..
We also got the Beef Tataki which I enjoyed even more. The sides were pan fried with a lot of black pepper, unlike the thinly sliced pieces you'd get from AYCE places. It was served with pieces of green onion and carrots, which added a hint of freshness to the raw beef.
Zen didn't cheap out on the crab meat for our spider roll either. The individual pieces were huge and delicious. The crab taste dominated the rest of the ingredients for once!
Toronto's freshest sashimi? Probably. However, this place is quite expensive. I would only come back for the sashimi and beef tataki. I'll need to save up for a couple of months if I wanted to have a 4-course meal here!
