I'm surprised anyone even gave this hole a 3 star review!
Located right next door, you think the restaurant would actually fill up just taking customers who didn't fancy waiting in line at Sushi on Bloor.
WRONG.
On a Saturday you will still see 15+ people queued up outside Sushi on Bloor while Sushi 101 has 20 empty tables.
The service at Sushi 101 is incredibly, incredibly bad. We waited over 10 minutes to be served and then another 30+ minutes to get our food. Considering there were only 2 tables occupied in the whole restaurant, that is pretty inexcusable.
How this place even manages to remain in business is beyond me. There are always 2 dodgy asian guys sitting in a booth at the back who clearly work there or own the place, yet never lift a finger to help with serving or running the place. I've heard whispers that Sushi 101 is really an undercover drug op... seems absurd but it would make sense for the complete lack of customer service and very mediocre sushi.
My advice - just bite the bullet and wait in line at Sushi on Bloor. You'll still get your food quicker even if you wait 15 minutes for a table.
