| - I've been going to Shinobu since '09, and I never get sick of this place. It is really hard to find good authentic Japanese food for such price range in Toronto.
Food:
- I've tried most of their dishes from the regular menu. Althought they don't offer too much of Japanese authenticity in their menu, among all, my top three picks are: Volcano Rainbow Roll, Mt. Fuji Salad, and Assorted Sushi. I get volcano rainbow rolls every time I go Shinobu to eat. Not only it's eye-catching, but also it tastes very good. Avocado gets creamy due to heat, and everything blends in so well with the honey sauce. Mt. Fuji Salad can be seen as ordinary spring salad. But their goma dressing brings so much flavor to the greens. Lastly, their assorted sushi, is good. Out of all, raw squid and raw shrimp are really fresh. Only thing is that, they put little too much wasabi on the bed of rice, so it takes flavor away.
Service:
- Staffs are amazing. They are attentive, friendly, and they try to make up to your requirements. And the chef on the sushi table always says thank you and bye when we leave. Can't find a single problem with the staff members.
Atmosphere:
- It's really small. It's a must to make reservations for weekend dinner. There is nothing fancy it to it.
If you are looking for a fairly good Japanese dinner from Japanese chefs for a decent price, Shinobu is it.
