| - Saku has quickly become my favourite spot for sushi. Living on Queen West, there are a ton of sushi restaurants to choose from, however most of them are extremely sub-par. Not Saku. Aesthetically, it is very trendy. The menu is fantastic. I am particularly fond of the Energy Roll, the Crunchy Beef Roll, and the Kimchi Yaki Udon Noodles. I also absolutely LOVE Aburi sushi and they do a great job of it here (with beautiful presentation) without having to spend an arm and a leg as you do at the city's other aburi sushi restaurants (Miku, I'm looking at you). I like to go for the Chef's selection of aburi. I have yet to try any of the cocktails at Saku, but I am certainly a fan of their beer specials. Pitchers of Sapporo are regularly $17, however when I went on Thursday for lunch, they were on special for $11. The only downside to Saku is the service. They are rather inattentive. On my most recent visit there, I had to flag down and ask a server if I could order a drink and then again to order the food. Once finished, we waited forever to catch the attention of a server to order another pitcher, and an eternity to get the bill. Once the bill was dropped, no one came back to take payment and we ended up having to find them. The poor service, however, will not prevent me from returning as the food is amazing and at such great prices.
