  • Consistency is a common issue faced by most restaurants in Toronto and Solo is no exception. Been here a year back and had a rather enjoyable meal with above-average sashimi and unique izakaya-like dishes. Tonight, not so much. The sashimi has hit the bottom of the barrel. Not comparing it to Tsukiji Market but for the prices they charge (slightly above-average) I would rather go across the street to Kokyo Sushi. The batter they used for their tempura and monkfish was thick but without the crispiness and rather soggy instead. The rolls were heavy on rice stuffed with too much imitation crab/cucumbers/avocado (not very presentable either). The grilled squid was drenched in soy sauce and vegetable oil which not only reminded me of a steamed fish dish at your nearby chinese restaurant - which was confusing - but just made it unnecessarily heavy and the togarashi wasn't necessary: keep it simple re: ND sushi. I realize the bill was no where near Kaji, Nami, Katsura, or Jiro level but this restaurant has lost its identity as being 'that japanese restaurant in the downtown core that's not an izakaya that garnered Toronto Life's attention and landed 3/5 stars". However, you're not cheaper than the sushi place down the street with the sign that says $5 lunch special or AYCE either. As a yuppie willing to spend a little more but reluctant to drive all the way to Kaji, I would almost rather eat at one of the 800 izakaya/ramen/AYCE joints downtown, save the money, and probably have a better time. Yes, I would rather go to Japango even.. Not demanding fresh Toro/Uni or expect prices to be lower than what I paid, but this place needs to revamp it's menu and bring back that 'unique' flare that it once had. Otherwise, we'll just walk across the street to Guu like everyone else...haven't said that, I will come back to give the Omakase (still, your a la carte has to be up to par). Dishes: sashimi a la carte (hamachi, tuna, sweet shrimp), fried monkfish, tempura set, tonkatsu, seaweed salad, grilled squid, rainbow roll, eel avocado roll, 3 sopporos. $150 tax includ.
