| - If you live west of the Annex, you hate the idea of going anywhere near the Dufferin Mall for food, and you've had enough Ethiopian food for one day, Mazz Sushi is the place for you!
Mazz is really a great little spot. The menu is large and full of variety (banana maki - who knew?) and the prices are completely reasonable. Service is average (in an "exactly what you'd expect" way rather than a "C+ is an 'average' grade" kinda way). But what I really like about this place is the generous little starters they give you just for sitting down! I'm a sucker for being over-compensated. Last night, my friend and I got a beautifully cooked congee that was mild and savory and warm as well as some cold, delicate tofu in a slightly sweet sesame sauce. So good!
Mazz's sushi is pretty average (in a B+ kinda way). The rice is dense without much flavour (like many of the spots in the Annex) and the fish can be a bit stringy at times, which is a big sushi turn-off for me. But it was entirely enjoyable and, given the area, a great find.
Vegetarian Score = 8/10. All of the basics are there (oshinko, inari, avocado, kappa, yam, etc.) as well as some interesting additions (a caterpillar-type roll made of tempura yam topped with mushroom, for example). And their bentos look really good, too.
