Absolutely amazing! I would say this is probably one of my top 10 favorite restaurants in Toronto. The menu is inspired from the chef's childhood. For example, the chef loved to eat candy as a child, so he created a sushi roll that included pop rocks! The plates are also beautifully designed and hand painted by his mother. This is not only an amazing culinary experience, but an artistic experience too!
Memorable dishes that you must try:
1) Truffle Bomb Croquette (5/5) - if you enjoy the taste of truffle, this will be a dream come true!
2) Tuna Pizza (5/5) - the flavors are so complex and work so well together. Absolutely amazing.
3) Uni sushi (5/5) - the gold of the sea... the best uni I have had in Toronto (been to Yasu, Skippa, Jabistro and Miku to name a few restaurants) and very VERY generous in size!
Good but not memorable:
1) Wagyu Tacos (3.5/5) - they were good, but nothing amazing. Would pass on this next time we come back.
2) Brother from Another Mother (3/5) - let's just say sushi rolls are not their forte. I would pass on the rolls and try the 'hot share' or 'main dishes'
Overall, this was an amazing experience. Whenever I get asked... "where should I take my friend who is visiting Toronto to eat"... Akira Back will come to mind!
