I was in Leslieville this afternoon and had a craving for some sushi. So I bring up Yelp on my phone and Sushi Marche comes up as the closest sushi place. It's got 4 stars, not bad I say! So off we go to get some sushi.
I don't think I've been mislead by a Yelp rating this badly before... First, this place has a very odd and unpleasant smell. It's not a good thing when I'm grossed out even before ordering my food.
Then, the sushi is ok, and I mean it. It's not bad but it's not superb either. It's right down the middle. The prices, however, are ridiculous! They charge 30% - 50% more than most other sushi joints in Toronto. Cost me almost 30 dollars for a lunch "special" with a soup. I've had more and better sushi, with a drink, for less than that downtown.
What really annoyed me was that, once we ordered, it took over 20 minutes to get our food. WE WERE THE ONLY CUSTOMERS! It took a good 5 minutes for the sushi chef to actually come out from the back and START making the food. Then he made it at a snails pace while chatting it up with the cashier.
The food: 3 stars
Everything else: Less than 1 star.
Do yourself a favour and skip this place.
