This is a pretty significant step above places like New Gen and Sushi on Bloor.
I can understand why people wouldn't like it as they're quite liberal with the sauce on their maki. The large house sake is a good deal.
If you're looking for good a sushi restaurant, but nothing out of this world, then this place will do just fine. Also, if you live in or are visiting Liberty Village, this is your only sushi option.
