| - Okay I don't know why you would ever give this place less than 6/5, but you know, 5 is the maximum so I'll settle for that.
Let me start out by saying I've had a lot of sushi in my life. I've lived in Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver, and THIS place. This specific restaurant is my favourite sushi place in Canada. I've been in Toronto for the last 3 years, studying downtown, and try as I might, I cannot find another place that even comes close to what Kinjo is (and yes, I've been to Wow Sushi up near Yonge and Bloor). Vancouver understandably has better materials, however I weep for the fish which are, more often than not, ruined by the unforgiving hands of amateur chefs. Kinjo is different. The food hits all the right spots on your tongue, and I just don't know how they do it.
I'm not sure if the baby octopus (menu item #75 or #68. It's been years) is still on the menu or taken off the menu, but that was the best thing ever. All of their rolls taste amazing, and after going to Kinjo, I now refuse to eat my sushi with anything other than sweet soy sauce. Seriously, I go to a sushi place, taste their soy sauce, and if it's bad I ask the waiter for sugar, which always gets me this perplexed look, but I just refuse anything else.
I seriously want to fly back and stay for a month simply to enjoy their sushi. It's just fantastic. I'm not one to seriously exaggerate, but Kinjo is like the freaking Tom Hiddleston of sushi restaurants. It messes with your standards, and anything after it gets compared to this golden standard but none can surpass it.
