| - Having been to Tokyo and tasted the fresh sushi and sashimi there, I can tell you it's impossible to get that same taste here in Toronto - Vancouver, possibly, but not here in Toronto.
Here's what I can tell you:
1) This is the closest thing to Japanese sushi you'll get in Toronto at a relatively reasonable price. REASONABLE PRICE - that's the catch phrase here.
2) Some who do not know quality Sushi may complain it's too expensive, but that's because they are comparing this place to Chinese run joints like Sushi on Queen, Sushi Time, etc. This place has a Japanese sushi chef so to view this place with proper perspective, compare it to other joints that have Japanese sushi chefs. Consider the costs at Hiro, Ematei and Nami. All of a sudden the price isn't that unreasonable.
3) When I give this place a 5 star rating, I do so considering the PRICE.
4) Do not ever order anything from the kitchen without consulting various review sites. The kitchen chef is not talented in any way. You come here for sushi and/or sashimi. That's it.
What I usually get is the 20 piece sushi party plate @ $28.
When Susur was working at his restaurant, long ago, he was often seen eating here. The place is authentic.
If you're sick and tired of Chinese or Korean run sushi restaurants that think they can make decent Sushi just because the guy behind the bar happens to be Asian and has a big knife, check this place out and do a taste test. A Japanese sushi chef, trained in Japan, makes all the difference.
