| - Two-words: Sushi+burrito, a.k.a. "sushito". Review based on this item + takeout ONLY.
I'll give it to my people, they are certainly good with taking an existing idea and jumping on the bandwagon/riding the trend wave. And that is what Corner by Spoon & Fork has done with the food trend which is basically a large maki roll, not cut up into individual pieces, but eaten like a burrito.
So if you think there are black beans and cheese mixed in with raw fish or some other concoction, windshield wipe that thought out of your mind!
Interior: VERY NICE considering the somewhat shady, by Mississauga standards, area. Then again, restaurant opened up a coupla months ago, but I was still surprised though.
Ordering process: Somewhat confusing as when you walk in, you either feel like sitting down or approaching the cash counter, so that's what I did: Ordered, paid, then proceeded to select which sushito I wanted. Afterwards, I was corrected by the sushito maker.
I got the Spicy Flaming Dragon which was $10.99. Not sure of the ingredients, but I was attracted to the spicy part. I *believe* they used tuna, but unlike a regular maki roll, they used some baby spinach. I was afraid that they'd pile on the rice, but they put a thin layer, so I was pleased with that!
Price is more or less in line of what you'd pay at a restaurant for a maki roll, but no need to tip here. Roll was made quickly.
One thing that I wished they had done was NOT layer the bed of rice on top of the seaweed beforehand. It wasn't done too much ahead of time, but my seaweed was not crunchy by the time I got home.
Verdict? Quick, efficient meal which is healthier than a burger+fries!
