| - Really enjoyed our meal at Saku. The quality of the sushi is much better than some of the other popular sushi joints along Queen West. Saku is a little pricier, but I'm happy to pay for quality.
Came here on a Thursday night, just before 8pm, and got lucky that a table had just opened up. Otherwise, the restaurant was full, with the exception of 2 seats at the bar. Looking around, most people had finished eating when we arrived, so in future, I will time our visits to -830-845pm next time to be guaranteed of a table.
Service was prompt, and the kitchen turned out sushi orders very quickly, but there was a long wait for hot food (our order of gyoza, an appetizer, was in fact the last dish to arrive.) It was nice to not only have quality sushi (particularly like the Lion King (10% off due to Yelp checkin) and the Rainbow Star pressed sushi), but also enjoy good quality stone bowl bibimbap!
Considering all the roadwork on Queen St west right now (watermain replacement, I think) and the lack of parking, I'm glad to see this place thriving. Clearly they're doing something right and we'll return again.
