I have a feeling Ebi Sushi is getting extra praise as it is the only sushi light in a raw fish dark zone. Christie Pits was majorly due for some decent sashimi and Japanese treats.
Enter Ebi. A clean, perfectly cute restaurant with all of the delights you'd expect from a Japanese hot spot. They are an Izakaya, apparently, though I didn't see a crazy cocktail list which I've come to expect in Toronto Izakayas. This likely isn't traditional, but who doesn't love the option of a Sake bomb?
I dislike how they don't have bento boxes or lunch and dinner specials. Putting together your own meal tends to add up quickly, and requires far too many choices for my liking. What is this... Starbucks?
I had the California roll, edamame, ebi sashimi and green salad. All were fresh and exactly what you'd expect.
Fun Fact: Ebi means shrimp in Japanese. I am very short and I grew up with a Japanese sister. She calls me Ebi and I always thought she was mispronouncing Evie. Nope. She was calling me small.
