| - I'm not sure what's taken me so long to write a review for Daily Sushi. Its close to where I live and I go there once a week in the late evenings. I admit, I have a soft spot for Daily Sushi. First off, the male waiter (or owner??) who works in the evenings is very sweet and very professional. He always smiles. He doesn't write down your order, but he repeats your order item by item after you place it and has not once put in a wrong order for me. Not once. There is a female waitress who also works in the evening. She has a bit of an attitude to her, but for the most part they work together so the male waiter offsets my displeasure with the girl.
The menu is quite expansive and I like to try new things so I tend to take a while looking things over. I think tea is complimentary, but you need to ask for it. They bring your drinks, soup, and salad very quickly. Their miso soup is exactly how I like it. And your meal comes quickly too. They refill water, and tea and check in with you just the right amount - they are very attentive, but don't push you to hurry up. The prices are very reasonable and portions are large. I tend to go for some type of bento combination - and it feeds the beast in me. I really like sashimi and find it acceptable at Daily Sushi. The portions are generous -- to the point when sometimes I think the pieces might be too thick -- but I do love me some raw fish, so I would never complain. I tried the ramen and wasn't terribly impressed with the broth - but I think I've been spoiled in the ramen department so it would be hard to reach my standard. As for sushi rolls, I'm not a fan of their sushi rice. I don't like the taste or the texture of it so I steer clear of it. I'll admit I'm pretty snobbish about sushi rice so this may not be an issue for others.
Once you are done, they are fine with you sitting and relaxing for as long as you'd like. In fact, they won't bring the bill until you ask, but will then bring it promptly.
Is it the best sushi you'll have in Toronto? Heck no. But I do find comfort and nourishment at Daily Sushi -- and they are open till 11pm most nights -- which is a huge plus!
