I have always been a huge fan of Japanese cuisine, sushi basically. And to find a great place that stands out is amazing.
Samjung Sushi would have to be the best Japanese resturant I've been to here in Toronto. As you walk in, the place is already different. It's very quaint and very authentic. We were lucky enough to be seated inside one of the small houses. You can have that certain privacy you don't get to have in other restaurants. It's a little difficult to imagine so you will have to go there and see it for yourself *wink*
Aside from an inceredible ambiance, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our server was so nice, she listened to us very well for what we want. Even the other staff were all smiling and greeting us too. That's one of the best things about Japanese restaurants. You will feel so welcomed because the staff will make you feel that way. Samjung Sushi staff were amazing.
Food. Let's talk about the food. They gave us a "complimentary" dish which was Grilled Mackarel and it was so good. My dad, who loves seafood and only favors to my grandmother's cooking, reall loved it. I ordered Beef Teriyaki U-dong (as written on their menu) and, well let's just say after finishing my meal, I ordered another one to go. It was really good. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and very well prepared. We ordered a sashimi boat and the way they prepared it was so inviting.
The food wasn't cheap. But it was worth it. They're a little pricey but the effort they put into making sure the customers are delighted, I think the prices of the food were just right.
It's definitely a place worth traveling to if you live far. I am already planning on when I can bring my friends there.
