| - Borderline 3.5 stars for this place. It is definitely better than a lot of sushi places in North York, but can't compare to some of my favourite places in downtown Toronto. This would be my first choice for a close sushi joint near my home if I don't want to drive too far.
Had the sushi and sashimi starter. Very fresh, but nothing out of the ordinary. They seem to cut the fish in crisscross fashion (which I am not sure, if it's to soften the meat). Also order the bluefin tuna sushi nigiri, which was a whopping $25! I would pay $25 for two pieces of bluefin tuna, but they must melt in your mouth like butter. This one didn't. Again, sliced the top of the fish in cross cross fashion again. Really odd. It was half buttery which a few veins in the fish, which is a no-no if I am going to pay $25 for this. Not really worth it. I'll just stick to their regular sushi and sashimi and stay away from their overpriced items on their special menu. I dunno, maybe I will come back to try their wagyu beef for $65 next time, but after the bluefin experience, I am not so sure if it will be worth it.
Everything else was good. Ordered fresh and baked oysters. Both very delish.
Will come back again if I am craving for sushi. I heard their Izakaya items were good as well. Anyhow, expect to spend a little more than the typical sushi restaurant you would normally not spend in the North York neighbourhood. It's sort of worth it to a certain degree, if you order the right items.
