My quest for good sushi is still on. i was brought here by some locals so of course I had to take the opportunity to taste what all the buzz was about.
Hmmmm....me thinks Toronto has very few options. One of the things I miss about Van is it's OK sushi is phenomenal here. I tried so much stuff I do not even know where to begin.
The infamous California roll made famous by Tojo's in Van is a shadow of itself here. Ever had a crunchy California roll? I swear it was a cucumber not an avocado and definitely not fresh crab. The chicken teriyaki was overcooked. I had to tear off the hard pieces from my mouth quite a few times. The tempura and iceberg lettuce salad with the universal Japanese vinaigrette was exactly as it should be.
I did have a wonderful dish that makes me want to eat it again. The salmon pizza. Wow! It melted in my mouth like butter. The crunch of the patty base of deep fried rice with a layer of mayo was a wonderful texture against the salmon. I am so hungry now.
Other points in it's favour was the cleanliness of the place. Love it!
The friendly personality of the owner makes for a warm space despite its modern design.
