| - Worst.. WORST sushi restaurant in all of Toronto, hands down, and that's saying something because I not only eat at a lot of them, I have eaten some pretty questionable food from them.
The place is run by Chinese folk, trying to do Japanese food. Now you're going to think I'm a stereotypical racist for saying that, but I've found in my experience dining out that Chinese people don't know how to do Japanese food because they're always trying to mix mayonnaise and all this other disgusting crap into something that is supposed to be clean eating, raw, healthy and delicious just as-is.
Chinese food is full of oil (most of the time), deep-fried, covered in sauces, and masking the flavour of the ingredients. Japanese cuisine is the opposite to me, with a few exceptions of having tempura and so on.
Chinese people who run Japanese restaurants are also always trying to find way to use up all the waste (salmon bits) and cut corners, which I half admire as someone who doesn't like to let things go to waste, but am not willing to pay $15 for, considering it is not what I wanted.
I ordered the Chirashi Don and got this disgusting mess of leftover salmon bits mixed with salmon roe, into a big vat of MAYONNAISE, dumped on top of my plate like I am in the middle of some Cultural Revolutionary mix between American-Chinese-and-Japanese cuisine upheaval.
YUCK. DISGUSTING.
To top it off, I asked for NO FAKE CRAB (yuck), and I got half of it as fake crab, and the fish was thin, few, and far between.
Never coming back here. What a waste of my money. I feel sick that I paid that price for such disgusting food.
If you want real Japanese food, go to Japango by Dundas and Bay. Run by Japanese folk, you get Japanese service and the food is just.. beyond excellent.
