| - Oh Nami, may I count the ways I love you...
I have a serious love affair with this place. I remember many late nights, sitting in the private booths, eating some of the best vegetarian sushi I've ever had. It's a great place for dinner parties or work meetings. The staff is very traditional and so polite. I love this place and if I lived in Toronto, I would want to make it my home.
SOME FAVORITES OF MINE ON THE MENU:
CHEF'S CHOICE PLATTER: I don't eat fish but I thought I'd start out with a shout out to this one. I was at a work dinner meeting and my boss and a coworker ordered this and man, they said it was out of this world. It's a blast seeing what's fresh. If I had to eat fish, I think that this sushi place might be a great place to do it.
VEGETARIAN ROLLS: Great avocado/cucumber roll here. Very fresh, rice is a great texture.
VEGETARIAN TEMPURA: Yummy tempura. Not greasy at all. The sauce is great to eat it with.
AGEDASHI TOFU: YUM. I remember this always being a favorite of mine when visiting. Great big portion.
STEAMED MUSHROOMS: I dream about these, so much so that I have begun to seek them out at different places when I am in Los Angeles. Now that I came back to Toronto, I will say that these may be a little more subtle than some places I have had them ... but these mushrooms have a mellow creamy texture I just can't get over.
GREEN TEA CREME BRULEE: The waitress recommended this to me over the mochi and I was so glad she did. Kudos to her, because this may be one of the best custard/brulee's I have ever had. Was thick, rich, and mellow at the same time.
I am sure there are tons of great dishes that I have tried that I am missing, but these are the standouts to me. I love Nami, and I wish I lived in Toronto full time so that I could enjoy Nami year round...
