Thought i would chime in here, just to give the audience some more depth on Katsura and its history and what makes it so special.
Not to berate Victor at all, and I think you had the wrong expectations when coming to Katsura, it is not a Benihana type of restaurant where you expect a show. I would suggest Memories of Japan if you are in the north york/don mills area if you wanted a show.
Katsura was started by the original owners of the Prince Hotel (who are japanese) and it was the first sushi restaurant to open in Toronto. The differences between katsura and most other establishments in Toronto are namely that Katsura's sushi chefs are Japanese, real Japanese chefs. They are licensed in Japan, not to say that the Korean Chefs who were licensed in Korea arent great, but there is something to be said about the authenticity of Japanese Sushi chefs making Japanese food. I have also tried the teppanyaki here, and although i find it baffling that anybody would choose teppanyaki table over sitting at the sushi bar, that is my own opinion. Katsura offers some of the freshest sushi available on the east coast of north america. It is not modern japanese cuisine (no dragon rolls), it is really just straightup sushi and sashimi prepared by old school guys who have been tending on me since infancy. If you are looking for a real authentiic sushi restaurant with great sushi fish, this is the place to go.
