When you're running a small sushi joint close to Yonge and Finch, you inevitably will be compared to Sushi Bong. They have pioneered the big-rolls-good-value sushi takeout in this hood. I was skeptical about VIPS Sushi but it turns out that they can keep up with the Bong and carve out their own clientele niche. Any place that includes spicy mayo already gets extra points from me.
Order: Spicy Salmon Crunch Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll
Food: 4/5
Service: 3.5/5
Atmosphere: 3.5/5
Value: 4/5
$7.99 for crunch roll with lots of salmon (size of dynamite roll at Sushi Bong) and $4.99 for smaller spicy tuna roll was more than enough for my wife and me. Service was friendly, but typical for takeout place. VIPS Sushi is not a threat to Sushi Bong but a solid alternative when you want to mix it up. I will def go back and check out some of the other rolls.
