| - Definitely worth a visit and the money!
Food: I'm going to list the items that were ordered.
1. We started with a huge bowl of salad (larger than the average ones you'd get from other Toronto sushi restaurants).
2. Shrimp and veggie tempura. Wow, I'm not a fan of Tempura at all because you never get to taste the shrimp, but this was not the case here. First, the shrimp was thin and large and the batter is so light and crispy that the shrimp can be tasted. I later find out that the shrimp they use are imported from Thailand. The veggies were typical.
3. Sashimi boat consisting of salmon belly, red tuna, white fish, yellow tail. All very fresh! You need to try these if you love sushi. I've read previous reviews and those that say these are mediocre - ha... They may not know what actual fresh fish taste like - you pay what you get. This place is definitely on pricier side but once you realize that the chef gets these, particularly the yellowtail, from Japan.. There's no way these aren't amazing.
4. Spicy age tofu - hot and delicious! Great started dish to kick off your taste buds
5. Grilled yellowtail cheek - first time ever having this, super crispy and delicious. The neat part is that the smaller bones can be eaten with the meat and is healthy for you. The veggies that came next to the fish were too salty for my likings but the others thought it was okay. Perhaps I'm overly sensitive go salt.
6. Kimchi pancake - I love kimchi, but I found this to be very average. I think it's hard to screw up kimchi pancake so if you get a bad review from me on kimchi pancakes... That just means you've over-battered it or put very little kimchi in it.
7. seafood u-don - huge and sharable. Not salty, hot, and loads of flavour! Definitely recommend if you want noodles. Next time, I'm going to try the soba noodles.
Service: Spectacular! The owner truly cares for his customers and knows the regular locals. Chef Young comes around the tables to check up on everything and willingly takes offers on a shot or drinks with them! He teaches you some facts about the dish like eating the white radish with the sashimi aiding in digestion - preventing upset stomachs. He also lived in Japan for a few years prior to opening here and his work in Toronto reminds me of Jiro. Why? Because he himself goes to the fish market to pick his fish haha. He works every night - can't always say that about other owners who choose to take days off.
Will definitely be returning!
