| - We got delivery from Sakae last night. Their menu has been tempting me all month. Delivery is free with orders over $20 and their delivery area is pretty big, bounded by Yonge on the west, Bayview on the east, St. Clair on the south, and York Mills on the north.
We ordered a hand roll set and a veggie sushi set. Both came with salad and soup. (I didn't order kaiso salad. Why did I not order the kaiso salad? Next time.)
I have a bit of a beef (hardee har har) with veggie sushi, sometimes. If you see 'asparagus sushi' or 'spinach sushi' that is not described as a roll/maki, it's a lump of rice with plain veggies tied to the top of it with a strip of nori. It's... very bland and very plain, and too much to chew. I guess if the rice was really excellent it would be nice, but this style seems only to be made by places who really should be dressing up their rice more. These needed a dip in the soy sauce. I'll stick with rolls from now on.
The rolls were decent -- my veggie set came with yam tempura and avocado rolls, which are my favourite roll. These were a bit sticky and occasionally the yam seemed a bit too firm, but they were pretty tasty.
The sets are $9 and up and very generous. If you have a craving and don't mind if it's a little less than perfect, this is a good place to order from.
