| - My go to a-la-carte sushi restaurant downtown.
A tiny hole-in-the-wall situated at the Northwest corner of Bay and Gerrard.
This unassuming sushi joint has some of the best fish around.
If you've only had all-you-can-eat or other mediocre sushi places, this is an excellent place to start elevating your palate. Though Korean owned, this restaurant stamps a heavy foot on the stigma regarding Korean and Chinese owned sushi (typically cheap, uninspired cooking). It is similar to Japan-go in terms of price and quantity, but the style of sushi they serve is different.
A single shokunin operation, the food is well-plated and deliciously executed.
For those with a big appetite, the chirashi, while being one of the most expensive items on the menu ($20) is the best bang for your buck in terms of volume (very filling, a complete stand-alone dish) and displays a variety of the fantastic fish they have on offer.
The restaurant has been recently renovated, moving from a small family-restaurant feel, to a slightly more modern small family-restaurant feel. It was, and still is an excellent choice for a date, as the size and spacing is intimate, the ambiance charming, and has smooth jazz playing at discreet levels.
