  • This place is exactly what Toronto needs a no fuss serious sushi spot without venturing out from the core (Zen & Kaji) or skipping on the mortgage payment (Hashimoto more kaiseki than sushi) while all of the places I have mentioned have their own forte' this spot stands on its own IMO. The place might feel pricey but good sushi is pricey and from what I have seen one can easily get close to this price range with a compromise on quality. I didn't like some sushi offerings but that's due to personal dislike for white fish for sushi/sashimi and not due to the sub par quality. Here is what we had on that day Striped jack: Good Red snapper with uni: Not a fan of the snapper but Uni elevated this offering Scallop with salt: Top notch. What a clever way to elevate the sweetness of scallop by adding salt to it. (I have seen this used in desserts before but didn't think of adding it elevate the sweetness of scallop bravo!) Monk fish liver with shiso leaf: Not a fan of this monk fish liver even though I enjoy foie gras quite a bit so I should enjoy monk fish liver but somehow I have had a colder version when I have tried it and has never gone well with moi. This is one of the better offerings I have had as served just at the right temp. Not quite foie gras but close (maybe they should call it faux gras!) Sardine from Portugal: Didn't like this one. Too salty. Sea bass. Meh Golden eye snapper. Meh times 2 Lumberjack: Meh Nova Scotia snow crab. Nice serving though one could enjoy it the same if not better without the rice IMO Salmon roe: Decent version of this hand roll. 3 pieces blue fin tuna (lean to fatty): How can one go wrong with good quality tuna. This would be the highlight offering for most people as one gets to enjoy the flavor/texture changes from the same fish. Top Notch. Fluke: OK Smoked bonito: OK Anago: Nice hand roll with good presentation. I like eel so I enjoyed it quite a bit. Tamago: Folks this is not your average tamago offered by majority of places. If you haven't had this style before its more like a cake with a slightly sweet finish. Just beautiful. I could have ordered more but was getting full. Uni: Daily special add on. One either like uni or not. Ginger ice cream. Hmm nice soft serve with ginger pieces that add a nice texture and thankfully not the overwhelming flavor. This is my first visit here so I didn't want to sully my palate with alcohol. They have a decent selection of Sake and some beer/wine options. If I recall the sake tasting add on was 50$. Might be worth looking into. The negative: reservations at a decent time were almost impossible for our group size even though we started testing waters a month in advance (Gulp!) I don't like abburri style sushi so I think I will ask for the items that are not prepared that way next time. This place demands your attention and has a seriousness about it which might not be for everyone. I personally enjoyed it as I treated it as an event meal. This is the best sushi I have had folks in Canada. I will be back.
