| - Looking for Japanese street vendor food? Then look no further! Four words: This place is awesome! I had the liberty of trying this place during my lunch break; courtesy of my boss. Since then, I've been here twice! Gushi is one of those street vendors you would see at those Asian night markets. Out of all the street vendor foods I have tried in my life so far, this one is by far the best one ever! They also have bench tables for you to sit if you decide to eat there (outside). Let's talk about the food!
There are three categories of food: Meals, Snacks, and Sides/Dessert. The meals come in a portable box container. My top two favourite meals are the Gushi Original Meal for $6.86+tax and the Nanban Tetsuya Meal for $7.30+tax! If you're a first-time Gushi eater, I recommend the Gushi Original Meal. It comes with Gushi chicken, purple rice, sesame dressing, spicy mayo, pickled ginger, green onions, and nanami pepper. The Nanban Tetsuya Meal is recommended by the cook! It comes with Gushi chicken, purple rice, citrus vinegar sauce, aioli mayo, pickled onions, green onions, and nanami pepper. Other meals include the Japanese Curry Meal for $8.40+tax, Japanese Vegetable Curry Meal for $6.86+tax, Okonomiyaki Style Meal for $7.30+tax, Gushi Supreme Combo for $10.18+tax, and Gushi Curry Combo for $11.73+tax. All Meals have the option of Extras and Add-Ons such as ordering Extra Rice or Extra Chicken (2pcs) and adding a side/dessert such as Edamame, Green Tea Cheesecake or Mango Cheesecake. Extra Rice is $0.75, Extra Chicken (2pcs) is $2.50, and the Add-Ons are all $2.65.
I haven't tried the Snacks yet but based on the menu you can order Takoyaki (octopus balls, 6pcs) for $5.30+tax, Hotdog on Rice for $4.86+tax, and Gushi Chicken ($9+tax for 5pcs, $17+tax for 10pcs, or $30+tax for 17pcs). For the Sides/Dessert, you can get Edamame for $2.88+tax, Cheesecake for $2.88+tax, and Seaweed Salad for $2.65+tax.
I'm a huge fan of Gushi and I hope they expand all over Toronto! It's a bit far from my workplace considering I have to take the streetcar but definitely worth it!
Gushi is also in collaboration with Grabb so if you ever want to order take-out from your phone, don't hesitate to use the Grabb App!
