| - This restaurant has THE best sushi in Mississauga, let alone anywhere in the GTA. I have yet to taste anything that even compares, and that is saying a lot, seeing as how I love trying new sushi joints in and around Toronto. You definitely get your money's worth. Two rolls is more than enough for one person (I can never finish them); more suitable for two. The portions are huge and the fish is always fresh. I go at least once a week, if not more. I don't always dine in, but often call ahead for pick-up. It's ready, typically, within 10 minutes. I go so often that I don't even need to look at the menu.
The spicy salmon roll and the dynamite roll are a MUST. The dynamite roll is especially tasty: huge portion of fillings inside (tempura shrimp, cucumber, krab, avocado, salmon roe, etc.) with deep-fried tempura bits on the outside. A bite gives you the perfect amount of freshness from the avocado and cucumber, the crunchiness of the tempura bits, and the warmness of the "just out of the fryer" tempura. Yum!
Again, too much for me to handle, so I opt for the spicy salmon salad accompanied with either one.
I also tried the bulgogi roll, the spicy tuna roll, and the tuna/tomato roll (Don't order this; tomato makes it watery (?), if that makes sense). These rolls are okay. I'd rather stick with the "go-to's".
My boyfriend hates sushi so he always orders the chicken yaki udon/fried noodles. I've grown to liking it, although I've tasted better (like at Sushi Tei), and I guess the fact that he drenches it in Sriracha hot sauce, makes it taste more flavourful.
I give the restaurant a 4 out of 5 only because I PRAISE the sushi, but all other dishes are mediocre. Everything else on the menu you can get better elsewhere, i.e terriyaki, rice dishes, noodles, etc. I have yet to try their hand rolls or order a sushi boat, but from what I've seen, they look promising.
A definite try. You won't be disappointed.
*Cheers*
