| - "I can't believe it's not real sushi!"
This place is such a wonderful haven for vegetarians to dine and share in the joy of eating vegetarian.
I knew that Toronto had great Chinese food... so far Toronto's dim sum blew me away, but I didnt think they could do vegetarian so well also.
This place offers all kinds of vegetarian sushi and hand rolls plus other fancy to down-to-earth dishes. They do it all! When I walked in and saw the sushi counter, I couldn't believe those things were vegetarians. The rolls my party ordered were excellent, artistically crafted, and portions were beyond generous. The prices are also so reasonable. Again, I couldnt believe it. A place like this with similar offerings would be so expensive in Los Angeles.
They have Bento boxes for $8. You will get the entree you picked plus very fresh sushi rolls, soup, rice, salads and some fruits. It's really a huge box filled with quality food. You will finish your meal more than satisfied.
I was fortunate to meet and chat with the owner Jason. He used to be a non-vegetarian sushi chef and learned his craft in Japan. When he decided to go vegetarian, he transformed his craft into something that he could share with other vegetarians; and I'm so glad that he did. I think many people must leave his restaurant feeling grateful and happy for the good food. I know everyone at our table did.
The interior of this place is very calming and serene. They have beautiful portraits of various Bodhisattvas on the walls with text sharing their story and history. I love that.
Considering Toronto is quite an expensive place to dine out, this place is really excellent and amazing for its prices, value and quality of food.
Service is very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Before I forget, they serve really good green tea here. I am so glad that I got to experience this restaurant in Toronto. One of the highlights of my trip.
Special thanks to the owner, Jason, who gifted me a Buddha jade pendent and told me to "Always be Happy." I will always have very fond memories of your restaurant.
