| - I decided to give sushi HUB a try with my friends after seeing that it had high reviews and was in my area. Thornhill is usually known for good "cheap" sushi and "all you can eat" type places... But not known for having the best quality sushi restaurants.
They have a wide selection of sushi to choose, and all of their special rolls sound delicious. If you have a craving for sushi.. Reading the menu can make your mouth water
Service: our waitress was really nice and helped me in choosing my last roll choice, which ended up being really good. This was my first time checking in anywhere, and I felt a little weird about asking about the "20% off a special roll" promo for Yelp check in and the "free order of tempura" if you check in on facebook. The waitress knew exactly what I was talking about and within seconds I ordered a free tempura dish and got 20% off my special roll (which was only originally $10 to begin with)
I ordered
- miso soup
- tuna roll
- Boston roll (shrimp tempura, spicy salmon, avocado, deep fried fish, green onion) $11
- forget the name (avocado, salmon, yam, crab) $10
The miso soup was delicious. I love miso soup and this one seemed better than other places.
We then got our free order of shrimp tempura. Nothing overly special.. But definitely tasty
Our rolls came, and we were all really impressed with the presentation. The fish looked fresh, the food looked very Instagram worthy, and we were excited to eat. It tasted really good too, each roll giving different flavours. Not too much rice, fresh tasting fish..
In the middle of our meal, our waitress brought over a complimentary "special roll"!order (these things are like $11!) and told us it was "from the chef". I was so excited because one.. this doesn't happen often, especially in Thornhill, and because it was delicious, and very different from the rolls we ordered previously. That was the icing on the cake to an already great experience.
im extremely picky when it comes to sushi, and this place nailed it. It's about time sone one raised the bar for Thornhill sushi restaurants. If I could improve on one thing I would ask them to make better combinations for ordering. Most places gve options where you can order 3 good rolls, soup and salad for a good price.. But these options were very limited here.
Overall, our first time eating at HUB sushi was a really great experience, and we will definitely be returning. Everyone at our table really enjoyed their sushi.
Your not going to find any place with quality sushi like this North of Sheppard.. So if your in Thornhill and want really good sushi for a very fair price.. HUB sushi is your place
