It was between this or Miku. I've heard such raving reviews from friends saying that this is superior and even their site mentions that they're the best sushi of Toronto. Now I don't mind spending a bit more on quality sushi but honestly these were huge claims that didn't really live up to the hype.
Ordered
The menu was simple but limited. We tried the $100 sashimi platter, a selection from their torched sushi - wagyu beef, aburicious (a sample of each torched sushi but doesn't include wagyu beef). Sashimi was slightly sweet perhaps from the authentic wasabi that compliments it. Expect that green tea would be extra in a restaurant like this.
We concluded that the jabistroll and ebi oshizushi (shrimp) to be the best. The sauce and combination of textures really makes these rolls stand out.
However after eating this for a while everything just melds together and was quite same and left me wanting more variety. Perhaps the tasting menu would have been a better bet and made it more memorable.
Service
They take your jackets and most of the waiters are Japanese who barely have a hold on the English language. I could hardly understand them but I guess their good looks and attentiveness makes up for it ha!
Overall
If you're anything like me who doesn't mind paying more for sushi at times but appreciate good value, I wouldn't recommend this place. It just didn't blow me away and make it that memorable. I hate comparing regular restaurant to ayce but I wouldn't say it was much better than Kaka's (ayce) special sushi (limit 1pc each) they only have available only on the weekends.
