| - Busy as always, when you call, they don't pick up and their voice mail is always full. My friend had to drop by to make a reservation the week before. On a Friday, they only had 9:30pm slot available for 6 and when we arrived, we STILL had to wait 20mins... This was back in December.
At that point I was literally about to implode... Don't mess with a hungry woman. As soon as they called us up, the waitresses were so apologetic, polite and nice that I couldn't stay angry. I was caught by surprise as I'm so used to pretentious or over-worked-hate-my-job/life waitresses in ayce sushi restaurants.
I admit I may be partially biased because I was starving then. But it was honestly one of the best AYCE sushi places I've been to in Toronto. I don't mind paying the higher than average cost for the quality since it's a rare occasion when I gorge myself in AYCE. Even though the selection wasn't massive, they had unique sushi and dishes that set them self apart from any other AYCE. Many of the sushi you can order 1 or 2 pieces from what I recall, so it's great for small groups to try a variety from their menu. We went all out on the ipad ordering food and they did not miss one item. *claps
Must Try
- Their specialty sushi only available on the weekend (1pc per customer), which is the middle pic in the collage - The waitress would come out with this set first without you even ordering which is the best when you're super hungry and can't wait. The best on the menu and sets off the whole experience
- Torched sushi
- Pressed sushi
- They had a variety of dessert choices - I tried one each but some of the choices ran out at our time like the parfait and ganache squares. My fav besides the ice cream = creme brulee - all flavours, mango lychee slush
- beef tataki
- spring egg (I didn't get to try but my friend said it was really good)
*Note - Sashimi selection is limited. They don't have butterfish, the tuna also is a bit mushy but the salmon was fresh.Their quality sushi, kitchen food and dessert really make up for it.
