| - My other half and I were trying to find a new place to try and happened to come across YuSushi and were quite intrigued with all the good reviews so we decided to pay a visit.
This place is located in the Shoppes of the Parkway - Connected and right beside Sheraton. This is not a full restaurant but actually located in the food court, and is a large food court stall. I know what you may be thinking, I was also skeptical as well to know that this was a food court stall, but based on the reviews and the pricing we decided to give it a shot. This same food court also has a number of other well reviewed establishments such as Bento Boy and Thai 5 cafe to name a few.
Whenever I try a new sushi place I always make sure to put in an order for Uni sushi. Uni is an acquired taste, and it is honestly very hard to find a place that serves it fresh and tasty. I have been to Japan twice, and I found only a handful of restaurants in Toronto that offer Uni as fresh as in Japan. Also Uni has a much shorter shelf life then, lets say salmon, hence a lot of "lower" end sushi places dont offer uni. So I was quite surprised to see a food court stall of all places offer Uni. I was expecting the uni to come out dark colored and sort of mushy (what I usually see in T&T), but if this place could pass the uni test, then it most definitely will make me a regular.
We also ordered a 40 piece sushi/sashimi/roll combo for $30. To give some perspective, my other half and I are regulars at another full sit down sushi restaurant, and a 40 piece platter there costs $53 + tax + tip which works out to close to $60. So YuSushi definitely has value, its pretty black and white there. But how was the taste?
I am happy to say that YuSushi was quite impressive! I would actually dare say that the sushi here can most definitely pass for sushi served at a full sit down restaurant, but for nearly half the price. I wouldnt go so far to say that this was the best sushi I have ever had, nor would this place come to mind as a recommendation for a night out given the fact that it is in a food court. But if you have a place to sit down and eat, or dont mind going home to eat this then this place is absolutely worth the trip dollar for dollar.
Also to note, when ever my other half and I go out to eat sushi and get a sushi platter we nearly always request NO WHITE TUNA - The reason being is because "white tuna" is not really tuna, but another fish called Escolar - Which in large quantities can cause indigestion. If your not aware of Escolar, I urge you to read up on it through Google. When we mentioned this request, our order taker mentioned that they actually do not serve white tuna but albacore tuna - The real tuna! This in itself earns this place a star.
Our platter included for sashimi - salmon, surf clam, lightly torched albacore tuna and another fish I cant recall at the moment. There was also 3 different types of rolls, and a large number and variety of sushi pieces which included red tuna. Pretty impressive for a food court sushi stall!
To also note though, since this is in a food court we did see a number of people just sitting down here and eating there. Also parking was very very easy to find here. Also from the moment we placed our order to getting it took probably no more then 10 to 15 minutes.
Speed, good price, good taste - Pretty tough to find any fault here!
All in all, this place is a really great deal. If your staying in, or want to impress a date with a romantic candle light dinner at home then I would absolutely recommend you come and get a take out order here.
