| - Most people come here because it is one of the only places in Toronto where you can get to eat 'live' octopus. However, I think the star of the show is really the flounder sashimi.
Don't get me wrong, the live octopus is good, but once you've had it once, it no longer really impresses you. I think if you want to get the octopus on its own, it will be $28. If you want the set of other raw seafood delicacies, it'll be around $90 before tax. I feel like it is worth it if you're coming here for the experience of eating weird raw stuff you may have never seen before.
So I've been here three times, and all three times I've had the octopus and raw plate, whatever. That stuff got boring pretty fast, but the flounder has always been amazing and delicious. Not only is it beautiful to look at, with it's irridescent flesh, it has great texture and tastes like heaven. Definitely different from your standard salmon, tuna, butterfish, etc... sashimi. It is a bit pricey with the set ($179, I believe. And $199 for the large size) but the prortions are pretty big and can feed 6-8 people, especially if you order other dishes with it.
The cooked dishes are okay. The salmon and chicken teriyakis always looked kind of sad.
You're probably coming here to try new and weird food. Might as well go big!
Side note: you can't reserve tables. Go early because you're probably gonna have to wait for at least half an hour during dinner rush for a seat.
