| - The best of all the "cheap" sushi options available on the Annex, and possibly within a 1-km radius around that neighbourhood. It's also very busy, even on Tuesday evenings. If you're lucky (or you request) you can get seated in one of the comfier, spacier booths upstairs.
Service is quick. The waiters are all on top of the game, always coming by to take orders or give extra tea. One "niceness" is their tendency to bring over a steaming miso soup as soon as you sit down. This may feel welcoming on a winter day, but could be interpreted as a ploy to make you stay and hurry up with your order.
Menu has a great variety of options, all at reasonable prices. Rolls start from $5 (and they're YUMMY!) while bento's go from $10 or so. The bento deal does not come as "cheaply" as New Generation - you add an extra dollar or so to switch to salmon or beef, while New Generation charges equally for chicken, salmon, and beef. Guaranteed, though, Sushi on Bloor delivers better quality food all around - you can taste the plump deliciousness behind the Japanese-style rice, the crunchiness of the caviar, and the extra succulent flavour behind their tempura batter.
Weekdays lunch special give you the best bang for your buck - for $6.99 you can get curry rice with salad and soup. Just order right before 5PM and you've already got a filling early dinner in.
*Best deals*
Lunch special Unagi (eel) rice for $7.99 - I pay up to $13.95 for an eel rice at other restaurants and recieved cold (or lukewarm) and stale-ish meat, but Sushi on Bloor's eel is still hot from the grill, slightly crunchy and nicely flakey on the inside. Served alongside pickled vegetables and a delicious, well-balanced sauce.
Crunchy roll - $5.95 - a good, cheaper alternative to dynamite roll and just as filling. The tempura batter is crunchy without feeling stale or unevenly fried, which is how it's been at other places.
*Generally*
Good variety of raw meat, and the salmon is especially well-prepared and marinated.
Filling and excellent deals on rolls.
Definitely recommended if you are looking for good, cheap sushi. Obviously, there is a difference between this restaurant and other higher-end sushi places. I don't think this restaurant is Japanese-owned, and their flavours lean more towards what you'd expect from a Chinese chef than a Japanese one. BUT, compared with other sushi eateries of a similar price and calibre, Sushi on Bloor is VERY GOOD (and the only that is worth the money). Go here, not its rivals.
