| - A friend of mine told me that a little hole-in-the-wall Japanese place on Bloor would actually blow me away, and they were totally right! I mean, the place is a bit small and not the best looking, and the physical menus are totally worn out and could really use an upgrade, but the sushi rolls were amazing! The largest I have seen anywhere in Toronto, I think. And you get 10+ pieces in each speciality roll instead of the typical 6-8. Great value!! My only criticism was that my roll could have been wrapped a bit tighter, as it fell apart in my chopsticks and I had to eat it with my fingers. But that really didn't bother me since it was delicious.
The food was great, but it was really the service that totally blew me away. Free soup, salad, and some sort of noodle appetizer (nice touch!) for everyone, and when I asked the waitress about what kind of tea they served (thought it was some kind of brown rice tea), she tried to explain but there was a bit of language barrier so I didn't think I would find out. But then she came bad a few minutes later and gave me a handful of tea packets for free, and then came back again later with a piece of paper with "barley tea" written on it (I'm assuming someone in the back translated and wrote it down for her). That was so nice of her!! Way to make a customer feel appreciated!! I can't wait to go back again and try some more giant rolls.
