Monday afternoon, co workers and I amble to Sushi Inn http://www.yelp.ca/biz/sushi-inn-toronto#hrid:q56OXpYiMNBnRBufpQMOtQ to get some lunch. It is full, and the downstairs is mysteriously closed. Not wanting to wait 30 min for a table, we head to Aji Sai.
I don't love AYCE. Its usually gross. But I went for it and I was shocked. I have been to Aji Sai in Barrie and it was sub-par, so I never returned. This location was actually good. The fish was of good quality, the menu was extensive including udon soups, teppanyaki, sushi and maki. No sashimi however they did have butterfish sushi which was fantastic. The rice to fish ratio was well balanced overall.
Some of the best sushi I have had in Toronto lately, surprisingly. (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/sushi-marche-toronto#hrid:nLERMU8gcxKpquphj8eJpQ) And lunch price was $12.99, which was tremendous value, especially considering what you get at Asahi http://www.yelp.ca/biz/asahi-sushi-toronto#hrid:CzczcqhOxWkVlFQ2h2fAIw for the same price in the same neighbourhood. (18 pieces of cucumber and avocado roll for example)
Solid choice. Service was ok but not great. I will return however, and soon.
