After reading all the good reviews for this take out place I was intrigued and really wanted to try it out as my fav take out place is up town. Another reason being this place being a stone's through from home. I walked in around 5:30 and they did have a mini line up of people ordering items and constant barrage of call in orders. A good sign in my opinion. I opted to order the 8&8 as they call it (8 Pieces of sushi and 8 Pieces of sashimi) I have an appetite for sushi/sahimi so I ordered a spicy tuna roll for good measures. This place is kinda pricey for a take out as the total was 19$ (11.95 for 8&8 and 4.95 for spicy tuna) but hey good sushi/sashimi is expensive. The turnover was surprisingly quick as my order was ready in 10 min despite them being a bit busy. They do have some tables outside now and a small counter inside so you can technically eat there if you want. Pity is they don't have LLBO licence so it doesn't work for me. I had my Sapporo cooling in the fridge along with the frozen mug in the freezer :D
The presentation is quite nice as evident from the pics. Most of sashimi and sushi items were Salmon as expected with a single piece of Tuna thrown in for sushi. A surprising item on sashimi was Tuna Belly which is a cherished and albeit rare item here in TO. The fish was fresh and sushi was OK. Not amazing as rice for nigiri was dry. The Spicy tuna was not so spicy (Elvis likes his Tuna Spicy a'la Seinfeld!George liking his Kung Pao Spicy) I think their quality is equal to mid level sushi places in TO. 3 Stars overall. I will try their other combos if I need a quick fix in this area.
