| - When I think "couture" I think Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Rucci, Pierre Cardin. I think dripping jewels and extravagant hats. I think parties that I'm not invited to. Sushi Couture is more like the Gap. Decent quality but not exactly the cutting edge.
This restaurant is a mixed bag. It has some of the freshest, loveliest fish on the sushi strip (aka Bloor street), but the service is bad and so is their consistency. I had one meal here that was lovely and one that was terrible - maybe they were training a new sushi chef that night?
I ordered four handrolls that were rolled so poorly that two of them slowly started falling over in their little handroll stands and almost spilled out their contents on the table. My husband's veggie sushi rolls were fine, but small. Vegetarians take note: you'll have more luck and variety at the old standby (aka Sushi on Bloor) than this spot.
While we were sitting at our table, waiting 45 minutes for our sushi to come to the table, customers on both sides of us had orders come to their table wrong or not come at all. Again, maybe it was an off-night, but with a name like "couture" it was a real disappointment.
Next time, diamonds on the rims of the teacups?...
Vegetarian score: 5/10. You can dine once or twice, but then you exhaust your options.
