  • First off, this is not a completely authentic Japanese sushi restaurant, but it does hit the mark in a number of key ways. First, the chef's choice and preparation of fish is very good. I went on New Year's Eve which is usually a food wasteland, especially for fish, and I was quite surprised that there was both o-toro and madai on the menu. While neither was as good as the best I've had in Japan, it was fresh, flavourful and well presented. A 5/10 by Tsukiji standards and a 10/10 by Toronto standards. That's right, I think this is the best sushi I've had in Toronto. I hate to make a final judgement by one visit alone, however, the 10 foot line of preferred customer's personal chopsticks on the wall definitely shows this place as a loyal and regular following. Secondly, there are a lot of fairly authentic appetizer dishes like hamachi cheek and yaki nasu. Both of these examples were good. Frankly, there aren't a lot of great sushi restaurants in Toronto and not a lot of great restaurants near this location period so this is a bit of a gem. As others have said, it's small so go at off hours or make a reservation. I will say that my only criticism was that the service was a little too pushy. I understand it's a small place and they have to turn tables, but I'm ordering $100 of fish. A true Japanese restaurant would nurture more customer enjoyment when it's clear they appreciate the premium dishes. Lastly, there are the other caveats of the comical bathroom (actually pretty identical to most restaurants in Japan), the door that blows ice cold air in every time it opens, the lack of a sushi bar to sit at, and the slightly off "not-really-japanese" things like nobody speaking japanese and no sushi bar... at the end of the day, they could work to fix some of these things and I hope they do, because I want to make this my regular spot.
