| - Wow Sushi is just that. It's an incredible little Sushi Place off Charles and Yonge. It's pretty small so if you're expecting to come by, be careful with larger groups. The menu has all your sushi favorites, but also includes some Japanese dishes like udon, karaage, and teriyaki dishes.
Terrible name in my opinion, but you can't say that about their food. As soon as you sit down, they bring you a bowl of miso soup and ginger salad. We had the sushi dinner and the Chef's Choice. The dishes were very similar, but we had quite a bit of selection. The sushi dinner came with a mix of sushi favorites like salmon, tuna, mackerel and others as well. I will be completely honest in that there were sushi pieces that I didn't quite know what they were. They come 2 pieces so a sushi dinner can actually be shared as well if you so choose. The sushi dinner also comes with a shrimp tempura roll just in case you weren't going to be full enough.
The Chef's choice was a nice mix of sashimi and sushi. There was salmon, tuna, uni, and sweet shrimp sashimi. The sashimi was fresh and the pieces had nice subtle flavor without being fishy at all. There were cooked fish sushi which I loved and some that were slightly seared. The uni and salmon were my favorites as they were thick and just plain good.
Loved the sushi and the service wasn't so bad. Prices are pretty good for dinner, but I hear it's way better for lunch so I will have to make it a point to come sometime. This is a nice little place for a date as well as the restaurant is small and intimate. With food this good though, I don't really care who I come with.
