| - We wanted some sushi in Toronto so after reading the rave reviews here on Yelp, we decided to check out what Mi-NE was all about. We come in on a Friday night and it was packed. I suppose that's a good sign... probably had to wait 15 min or so, not too bad. Once we sat down, we ordered the age dashi tofu for appetizer. When the appetizer came, the dried shaved bonito on top was still moving! (Or the heat or a/c was blowing hard in here). Anyways, I can tell you that this was one of the better age dashi tofu I've ever had and I've had some pretty crappy ones. For sushi, we ordered a whole boatload of raw fish, quite literally! I forgot how many pieces we had ordered but it was more than enough. I was quite full at the end. The sushi was really good here too. Fish seems fresh. Pieces nicely cut. The makis tasted good. Mmm nom nom nom! We had ordered so many pieces that I'm not even going to try to break down what we ordered individually mainly because 1.) I had forgotten what we had ordered and 2.) there's just too much to list; I'd still be here tomorrow writing this if I were to list everything out. All you need to know is this place does live up to its rave reviews and awards it had gotten and for sushi, it is reasonably priced as well.
Sidenote: we did take much longer than expected to get here though, because we took the "scenic route." By the time we got here, everybody in the car was ready to gnaw each other's limbs off and more. Luckily, it wasn't too long of a wait inside. I guess that's what we get for being tourists hah. On the other hand though, I did get to see a lot more of Toronto than I would have ever imagined. Now I know that there is a "Korea Town" there--or at least a Korean section of Yonge Street.
