| - Probably one of the better AYCE sushi restaurants in downtown TO! I've been in search for a good AYCE sushi place forever( ever since Aji Sai's quality gone down). I finally got the chance to try out Fushimi and it was decent. Thankfully, it's only within a 5 min walk from where I live, makes it all the better (why is it all these good food places so close to me?!)
First, pro-tip : don't forget to make a reso! We did so and when we arrived we were able to bypass a long line (it was on a Saturday afternoon). Not only we felt like VIPs, we were also able to get seated at one of the nicest booths, far faaaar away from the entrance (it was a cold day)
In terms of the food, we loved the kitchen menu! Huge selection that includes chicken karaage, steak yakitori, various tempura options, Udons, scallop fried rice and black sesame pudding. For all you black sesame fans, don't miss trying out this delicious pudding with their red bean ice cream. Absolutely magical combination!
Now, the sushi. We weren't really big fans of the sushi. We tried their special 'out of control' roll and it was really strange. They had asparagus in it :S We also tried the red dragon roll and spicy salmon roll, and they were all really hard to eat. They were all really dry, unfortunately.
I would certainly come back for the kitchen menu (and the black sesame pudding!) - they were certainly worth the price. Plus, with an awesome service, I will definitely be recommending this place to others.
