Sushi lovers rejoice! Kanji delivers a delicious innovative sushi menu that is fairly priced. As a former Vancouverite I nearly swore off Toronto sushi which was either over priced or terrible quality or both. After going to Kanji I'm willing to say it's quality, presentation and flavor put it on par with some of my favorite spots in Vancouver.
The taste and presentation of each dish delivers real value while the relaxed and beautiful space bring home the experience.
Kanji loses a star because at times service can be slow but the meal and drinks are worth the wait. I'd love to see the restaurant figure out its staffing so that there are less complaints. Still, with any new spot a little inconsistency can be expected.
Things you must try::
Miso soup- a tasty miso base with vegetables and crunchy cracker sticks
The Crazy Tuna roll- I can't say enough about the dynamic flavor and interesting texture of this roll. It is to die for.
Black sesame deep fried ice cream- I normally would go for the green tea but the black sesame is out of this world, it tastes a little like a light peanut butter with a delicious crispy crust. Don't miss it!
