| - Another 2.5 star review. It's becoming a trend.
Last night was my second visit to Sushi Bar. Leslieville/Riverside is SERIOUSLY lacking decent sushi. Seriously.
Have been to Sushi District (good but expensive), Sushi Marche (don't understand the fuss, it was totally meh!) and have ordered delivery from a few places on the Danforth (TERRIBLE).
First time at Sushi Bar, we had Bentos. Terrible, mixed veggies was full of under-cooked onions, tempura was soggy (not hot enough oil) and meat was chewy in a bad way.
A few friends in the hood recommended trying it out again, for their rolls.
Ordered a sushi and maki combo (8 sushi, 8 dynamite rolls), yellowtail sushi, spicy tuna maki & tofu skin roll.
Sushi was fresh, rolls good, I especially liked the spicy tuna. Overall the food was better than I anticipated but still not as good as many of the sushi places in the Annex.
My real problem with Sushi Bar was the service. It was slow and scattered, we had to flag down our waitress multiple times throughout the meal, first to order, then to ask for more water. Seems like they do more business in takeout than eat-in, and the staff works harder to keep up with phone orders than servicing the dining room.
