After seeing the great documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi", I desperately needed to eat sushi. But my go-to sushi restaurant was closed on Sunday, as were many other sushi restaurants in the neighbourhood, except for To-ne.
The restaurant was quiet which was nice. I ordered from their special menu: Albacore Tuna sushi and Rocky Mountain Roll.
The albacore tuna was delicious, fresh and gentle in flavour. The Rocky Mountain Roll was spicy salmon in the roll as well as on top, along with jalapenos and drizzled with a coconut cream sauce. It sounds spicier than it was, it had a nice kick to it and the coconut sauce was something different. I also loved the presentation of the mini floral arrangement on the plate. How pretty!
Each dish is served with a great miso soup that includes noodle and tempura bits.
Still hungry, I ordered the gyozas that came piping hot. They were tasty, but I realized that it was a mistake on my part to eat something fried after enjoying a nice light dinner. Oh well. Lesson learned.
To-ne Sushi is a nice little place and one I'll keep in mind when I'm craving sushi on a Sunday again.
