| - It is just okay... Maybe 2.5 - 3 stars.
This place use to be the best in mid-town back in the days - I was here 10 years ago.
10 years fast forward - the decor still looks the same. What I use to portray as a happening place is not what it once use to be. The walls has newspaper articles saying, Susur has dined at the BEST Japanese restaurant, but that was back in 2007? Stickers on the front window saying best of 2002, 2004, etc and I think it stopped at 06? That was all sooo long ago. I just feel this place just did not grow with the urbanization of Toronto. A certain sad nostalgia depicting what it used to be but no more. With new delish sushi joints opening up all over Toronto - compared to them, this place is just subpar. The ingredients used are nothing special - ie: they use imitation crap meat in ALMOST all the roles. I couldn't differentiate the rainbow roll from a california roll - except yes, the rainbow has the sliced sashimi on top. The cucumber salad was again, filled with avocados, imitation crab, and cucumbers, without the rice - same base as rainbow, and California roll. So, I felt like I ate California roll 3x in three different presentations.
Sigh... Sushi Supreme no more. It's priced cheaply and I guess that's an attraction. But, I don't think I'll be coming back if I had a choice.
