| - In a city where Sushi joints are ubiquitous, and half of them are run not by Japanese or Korean people (whose cuisines actually contain sushi), but rather Chinese, proprietors (not that that MUST be a bad thing, it just usually is), To-Ne stands out like a beacon of nummy hope.
The owners, waitstaff and chefs are all extremely friendly and know the value of providing excellent service.
This has become our go-to place for Japanese food, and we knew from inception that we were at a place that was a notch above when our Sushi presentations arrived bedecked with very real and skillfully arranged floral mini-bouquets.
If you order anything of substance, they'll start you off with a complimentary cup of their house Crunch Noodle Soup (in fact, we find we get some even if all we do is just grab takeout), and it's actually really good! Not sure exactly what kind of stock it is, but it's clean-tasting, and riddled with bits of thin noodle, shreds of seaweed and what they call "Crunch", which are simply crispy bits of deep-fried batter, that somehow, impossibly, STAY crunchy in the soup!
We've never been disappointed by anything on the menu. Our favourites are:
- Volcano Roll - a roll filled with a spicy mince of Toro, spicy mayo and Crunch bits, artfully stacked and topped with a mound more of the mixture to resemble an overflowing volcano
- Tornado Roll - roll with shrimp, cream cheese (not my favourite thing usually, but it works here), spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, with a spicy sauce basted over it so that they can apply a profuse layer of their Crunch bits (if you haven't figured it out yet, we LOVE these, btw)
- Mozzarella and Beef Roll - an appetizer - well executed, and pretty self-explanatory
- Galbi - extremely tasty marinated, grilled beef ribs
- Sashimi boat - fairly standard assortment, but always excellent quality and preparation
- Tako-su Salad - seaweed, cucumber and octopus salad, with a light ponzu dressing - fresh and a perfect lead-in to your main
- Ikura Sushi - generous portion of big, salty salmon roe
At the end of the meal, you always get a complimentary dessert of fresh fruit, as well, and you'll know they like you if you wind up getting other lagniappe, as well.
We were worried for the first year that it might not survive (which often happens to restos along Queen W), but it appears we aren't the only fans, as they fill up nearly every night.
Do yourself a favour, and come here for some excellent Japanese food.
