Let me start by saying I am from Los Angeles and we have great sushi there. Perhaps as a result, I am snobbish and making a comparison that I shouldn't be but here goes......
The vibe was nice. The service was ok. The food was not very good.
I found this place fashioned itself as a high end/high prices sushi establishment and was excited upon my entry. The menu looked good and there were some interesting rolls which we ordered.
While I don't mind paying a premium for good sushi, I felt we way overpaid for what we got. The rolls were smaller than they should be for the prices they are charging and in one particular instance I couldn't tell if there was any salmon in the roll I ordered at all (granted it was spicy salmon I could hardly taste "salmon"). The spicy tuna I believe consisted of not very much actual tuna or any fish for that matter. The shrimp on the spicy tuna roll likely came out of a freezer. The rice on the spicy tuna crispy rice was in fact cooked well and the edamame was good.
I don't mean any disrespect to those who love this restaurant or think its something special because it's not. I've eaten at hundreds of sushi restaurants over a nearly 20 year period of time and consider myself a connoisseur of sorts and this place just doesn't cut it.
I personally would not eat there again (and I won't because I don't live here but I do visit) and if I did, drinks is about the only thing I think I would order before heading out somewhere else to eat food. I would not recommend.
There has got to be better sushi in Toronto??????
