| - It was already past 10 by the time we arrived in the area to celebrate a friend's birthday later that night. (We wanted to try Yuzu No Hana but sadly, they close an hour earlier than Fune on Friday nights.)
We walked by Fune and saw the conveyor belt, and we just had to try it! I've had conveyor belt sushi a few times in Hong Kong and have always loved it. I knew it could get a bit pricey but neither my boyfriend or I have tried it in Toronto.
We sat at the sushi bar where we could see the chefs preparing the sushi and sashimi. It was near closing so there weren't many choices, nor were the chefs putting many new dishes out. We just picked up whatever we liked from the sushi boats. The plates usually just sit on a conveyor belt, but at Fune, the plates are placed on floating sushi boats, which is kind of neat. However, the plates are not labelled. There is a set of plates that is labelled with the prices, by the colour and pattern of the plate. But they don't provide you with anything in hand that you can always refer to; whether it's the name of the dish, fish or price.
Besides the conveyor belt sushi, we also ordered a chirashi sushi dinner and a tonkatsu dinner. I really enjoyed the chirashi sushi. It was nicely presented and the fish was very fresh and tasty. For this reason and this reason only, I would return to Fune! Besides that, for the price we paid for the tonkatsu dinner, we were surprised at how big the portion was (compared to the prices at Mississauga's Korean/Japanese restaurants). My boyfriend enjoyed it so much, he finished it before I could try another bite.
Despite being the last ones to leave, the staff was friendly throughout. The ambiance and decor was really nice. It's a little classy and a little romantic. It was nice since we were both dressed up for our friend's birthday celebration later that night anyway!
We will definitely be returning to Fune, and I think next time, we'll be dining at a busy hour when they have the most items on the conveyor belt. Looking forward to it already!
