Solo Sushi-Ya is an amazingly authentic Japanese experience in a surprisingly remote location. Jyo the owner/master chef is super friendly and takes pride in his fresh ingredients and well executed menu. When we are there we typically go for the $50 omakase tasting menu which I think is of phenomenal value. Here is my perspective on a few of my favorite dishes off the menu:
tempura - fluffy and light with just the right amount of batter
chirashi don - wow, jyo loads the chirashi don up with a mound of his freshest raw seafood. I'm sometimes wary of ordering chirashi, but not at Solo sushi. I love it when amaebi (sweet shrimp) is in season, and he throws one of those fat sweet juicy shrimp in
sushi and sashimi - this is one of the best places in the GTA for fresh sushi and sashimi. Jyo only purchases the best and it shows. If you're a real sushi fan you'll skip the gimmicky rolls that most korean/chinese run sushi restaurants sell and come here for the real deal.
Love authentic Japanese and find yourself North of the 401? You'll be happy here!
