| - Easily the best sushi on this stretch of Bloor, and we've tried a bunch. They're still working on ideal service and speed, but it's a month in, and the difference over time is visible. But the part that really matters is the food. I've been there four times now, and each time I've come away happy, full, and content.
If you know and love Japango, the chef is the former sous chef from Japango, and the fish supplier is the same. The quality is unmistakeable, and they call out the new arrivals each day, if you really want to nom on some killer sashimi.
I tend towards the sashimi end of the spectrum more than maki, and I find the portions are entirely reasonable, and the selection is good. The Sushi Couture roll is fantastic, and really shows off the talent we're dealing with. They don't overdo the rice, so the rolls don't look as big, but the contents are fish-centric, so the value is there unless you just want a lot of rice...
The decor is crisp and modern, and there's plenty of seating, without being too big to maintain quality, so I'm a fan of the work. Booths are big and comfy, and the tables are cozy but not too cozy. Really just hits the right notes for me.
Unless you're a broke college student, there just really isn't a reason to pick any other sushi joint in the Annex.
