Hubby and I were looking for a meatless option for dinner and recalled seeing photos on Yelp that Japan Eats recently opened. Located close to Yonge and Sheppard, it is a convenient option (if not during rush hour traffic) located close to the 401. There is underground parking for the building.
We ordered the salmon poke bowl and tuna poke bowl. I liked that the tuna bowl had seasoned sushi rice, garlic chips, kale, seaweed salad, corn, cabbage and avocado and that they offered the flexibility of changing my sauce from wasabi to spicy sauce (same as what is included with the salmon poke bowl). Hubby felt that for $1 more, the tuna poke bowl is a better value over the salmon poke bowl.
The poke bowls are more expensive than the signature bowls at nearby Poke Eats ($12.99). They even offer lobster or king crab poke bowls ($21.99). What I like about this place is that it offers premium sashimi options like uni or Hokkaido scallops for their donburi bowls. They also sell reasonably priced sashimi and offer takeout trays of maki, sushi and sashimi including uni.
Japan eats is pretty small, with seating for 2 looking out towards Yonge Street. It is intended mainly for takeout. If seating is full, one can eat in food court or at the seating area inside the main retail space beside the HCafe.
