| - I've been to this Korean-run Japanese restaurant a few times over the years. It's right in front of your face when you get off an eastbound streetcar at Queen and Broadview, and across the street from the disgustingly ancient Jilly's strip bar.
For an east-end commercial space, the restaurant is incredibly huge and can accommodate large groups, through the place is never packed. The decor is clean and dark, modern Asian, with dividers splitting much of the space, and usually top 40 pop music filling it. The menu is extensive, yet very typical of a sushi restaurant. The food ranges from okay to yummy. Never impressive, but relatively inexpensive.
They will in a typical sitting serve you miso soup and some side dishes, like in a Korean restaurant. The sides seems to be random and usually sitting-around-for-a-while-cold--edamame and cooked bean sprouts, and at one time, even kimchi. I think this sides thing is an influence of the establishment's Korean owners.
The service quality varies. It may be attentive some days, or slow and ignorant on others.
If I am craving some sushi or a stomach-stuffing bento box and could care less where it's coming from, this place will do, not too far from home.
{TTC: Any Queen or King streetcar to Queen/Broadview. Eastbound cars literally dump you right in front of this place.}
