  • I first has Gushi seven years ago at J-Town. I then visited their location on Dundas West. They are now over here, which makes this marketplace of 4 businesses where everyone soon goes broke worthy because of Gushi and The Jerk Joint! Gushi, which is a play on words for 'kushi' which is Japanese for skewers, is actually named after the owner. The emphasis here is on 'Japanese street food' but which street in Japan has these food items? Seriously? OK, if you mean cheap Japanese fast food sold in certain stores or restaurants then that's another thing. I had nanban, which is southern style karage (chicken nuggets), purple rice, citrus juice and Japanese style mayonnaise and the chicken was juicy, the sauce was heavy and I am still unimpressed with Japanese purple rice. The caramalized onions were tasty. They come in 2 sizes and the 'regular' is filling enough. It is $10. They serve other Japanese food items too, but their bread and butter is their chicken of course. Gushi is essentially a small kiosk with no seating available. There are several standing only tables in the rundown and dirty corridor. What makes them lose a point and go down to 3/5 from 4/5 is the demand for tips. The machine prompts you to tip 15, 20 or 25%!! 1- There is no tipping in Japan. That is the civilized way. The price is the price. Good service brings the customer back and buys loyalty. 2- There is no service. This is a take-out counter. Why does one need to tip? Also, do I need to tip at McDonalds too? How about the Post Office? What about at the supermarket? If no, why would I tip here? Pay your employees enough and if you need to raise your prices and I can budget accordingly and decide to buy or not! Thankfully the government of Ontario has already legislated an increase in minimum wage to $15 beginning next year. With that said, I object to tipping as a concept even where there is waiter service. The price is false advertising then otherwise. 3- What is with the options being up to 25%? Why not just add 200%? The lame silliness has to stop. We already have had the government legislate to force businesses like airlines, travel agencies, car dealers, etc. have to by force of law advertise actual pricing. I hope restaurants are next. I of course chose 'amount' and picked 0. By the way, the word 'nanban' means 'south' in Japanese.
