| - Saku Sushi was a great experience. To be totally honest,I was not expecting much from the resturaunt. The reviews online were mixed, so it didn't seem too promising, but it is very close to my condo, and it isn't too expensive, so we decided to give it a shot.
We had the salmon ceviche, the salmon aburi, the aburi sushi platter, and the energy roll.
The salmon ceviche was quite good. The portion is generous, the mango is a nice touch, and the taro chips provide a very good neutral flavor to bring out the flavor of the fish.
The salmon aburi was delicious. It was perfectely torched, and the sauce wasn't too sweet. In terms of salmon aburi, I would rate this almost as good if not equal to the salmon aburi at Kinka Izakaya. Highly reccomended.
Next, the aburi sushi platter was great. At $22 for 12 pieces, the value is quite good for a downtown Toronto sushi restutraunt. Each piece was very good and not overly torched. Also highly reccomended.
Lastly, the energy roll was only okay. It was flavorful, but it was a bit too deep fried for my tastes. I would not get the energy again.
Overall, Saku Sushi was well-worth the money. It is not as good as Miku, but it is significantly cheaper and has a much more casual vibe. If you're looking for a good meal and are only looking to spend under $30-35/person, Saku Sushi is a good bet.
