not quite sure what the deal is with sushi. it all tastes the same to me. i mean how different can raw fish be in taste. i can see a difference if the fish is straight out of lake ontario or something. but seriously it's all the same to me.
however - and this is the catch here- sushi bar is my favourite place for sushi. OK i'll be honest, i haven't been to too many sushi bars across the city, and im sure those places that charge hundreds of dollars are entitled to make your palate explode, but i have to say (again) that this is my favourite place for sushi.
the service is what it should be, but inside the restaurant is pretty cool. yesterday i walked in for lunch and they were playing the japanese classic 7 samurai. it hit me how this place is somewhat of the japanese version of the drake hotel.
anyways back to the food. their salmon bento is pretty good. i like the taste of charcoal in my food - but in this case i had both that and salmon massaging my mouth. their sushi is pretty good too. it doesn't really stand out in flavour - not quite sure if sushi should? but i do enjoy it. i really like their sticky rice because there is a hint of sweetness and with a little soya drizzled over the sushi, i think all these flavours go nicely together. not overpowering, but very subtle.
anyhow, serivce, food, place = 2 thumbs up. give it a try.... the price is more than decent and the food is good. 4 stars for sure.
