  • This restaurant is situated in the PATH at the concourse level of the Scotia Plaza building. From the outside, it looks really clean and modern...and always very packed! My sister and I had lunch here one day and although it was busy we were seated immediately and our orders were taken right away. It seemed as though the staff was trying to take orders and get food out as quickly as possible which kind of dampened our experience since we felt rushed the whole time but I guess from a business perspective this tactic would make sense considering they are in the heart of the financial district and are trying to accommodate as many customers as they can during the lunch hour rush. The food was pretty good but very pricey. I wouldn't say it is the best Japanese restaurant in Toronto but certainly one of the better ones in the financial district. I ordered the soft crab shell, toza tofu, and spicy scallop rolls. The soft shell crab was breaded and deep fried and tasted very fresh and juicy. It was served with a ponzu sauce which was very salty and tart and a good complement to the sweetness of the crab meat. The soft shell crab has a subtle texture and hardly even noticeable when biting into it. I would recommend this as an appetizer for my fellow crab lovers out there. The toza tofu was also very tasty and served with the same ponzo sauce. It was crispy on the outside with a soft middle. The tofu and ponzo sauce are a great combination together which I thoroughly enjoyed. Finally, the spicy scallop rolls were not too spicy but had just the right amount of heat so one can enjoy all of its encompassing flavors. There was a good amount of scallops in each roll and they did not have an overpowering seafood flavor. This is something I would order again. In terms of atmosphere, I felt like I was in a food court the whole time I was there. There were several people bustling around (either leaving or being seated) and the noise level was very loud and amplified. It was really difficult to have a conversation with my sister over the clanging of cutlery and chatter of other people. I don't think we could really fault the business on this however it is something to consider if you are looking for a restaurant with an intimate ambiance. Overall, the food (taste & quality) was decent but the service could have been better. Like I said, the atmosphere isn't exactly cozy and intimate and I didn't really enjoy being rushed in and out of the place but I guess that is what happens when you choose to have lunch in one of the busiest areas of the financial district. 3 stars aint bad, maybe better another time.
