  • I really hated to see the previous occupant of this space (Ivory Thailand) leave, but am pleased to find that Kirei is a more than suitable replacement. I tried one of their Saturday lunch specials, a bento box meal with gindara (grilled cod) as the main attraction. I was delighted to find the food to be delicate -- by which I mean that it didn't exhibit the usual greasy heavy-handedness and blandness of many of the so-called sushi places in Toronto. The meal got off to a good start (or pre-start, if there is such a thing) when the server brought a complimentary appetizer -- a small portion of warm white rice noodles in what tasted like a bonito broth. The meal then formally started with a bowl of miso soup, perhaps a little lacking in flavour but pleasant nevertheless, and a small, refreshing salad. Then it was on to the main meal, which certainly had great presentation -- and, fortunately, proved to taste as good as it looked, too. The gindara was perfect in texture and flavour, and was served on a bed of pan-fried vegetables. You don't get a lot of fish; this was a thin slice, perhaps five inches long and about a quarter-inch thick. But together with the other elements of the meal (see below) and taken in tasty morsels with the fluffy rice, the serving was actually most satisfactory. Besides, taken with the other elements of the meal, there was really no danger of the lunch not being filling. The meal included a bowl of rice, and the other tenants of the bento box itself were veggie tempura and a piece of shrimp tempura (also not heavy-handed -- good shrmp-to-batter ratio!), half a dozen California rolls, some edamame, and a piece each of steamed dumpling and siomai (or reasonable facsimile). The dumpling and the siomai were probably fillers to make sure the customer did not go hungry. While they tasted OK, they looked like they had been taken from one of those frozen dimsum packages you buy at the supermarket. They did not detract from the overall quality of the meal, though, and I felt that the $14 I spent for the Saturday special was well spent. This initial experience will certainly drive me to come back here to try their other offerings. http://maskeddiner.tumblr.com/
