| - I love this place. I really do... I just wish it was three times the size. But at the same time, that's part of the charm. It's small, cozy, and full of funky/kitschy Japanese decor and a hundred framed autographs from all the famous people who have eaten here.
Went for dinner with Daddio & D last week. It was D's first time, but Dad and I have come here together a few times before. It's our go-to place before seeing something at Harbourfront Centre. Now that I work there, it's dangerous!
Some of the freshest sushi I've had, and I appreciate the rice-to-other-stuff ratio here, which is not a lot of rice and a LOT of other stuff. YUMYUMYUM!
The miso soup is incredible here - for those who think all miso soup is the same, come here and discover your folly. It's one of my favourites in the city (Toronto proper).
D got the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box, and loved it. Tempura deserves a particular mention - I tried it. I'm a sucker for yam tempura though!!!
Dad got a bunch of assorted sushi & sashimi and adored it all, as per usual. We love this place. I don't eat fish, but I hear the "ahhh"s and the "mmmm"s all over the place.
We also got the butter mushroom app.... drool. As for me, I ordered the cucumber rolls and the avocado rolls. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
Our dinner for three (and we ordered 4 appetizers as well as three entrees, sake and beer) came to under $100 without tip.
The service is INSANELY fast. Even when they are full, it's unbelievably rapid. If you're looking for a leisurely sushi experience, you won't find it here, though we didn't really feel rushed, either.
As others have said, it's a little hard to find, but don't second guess yourself. Keep following the food store around the corner and you'll see it.
I have to say, I am so disappointed when an unsalted, cold edamame app arrives at the table. Is that the/a regional or traditional way of serving it or something? I don't know. I've never heard of that. I like my edamame hot and salty. Preferably with flakes of salt. Not the case here...
It loses the rest of the edamame-drained star because there's no standard bar. Just beer, wine and sake. BOOOO! This girl needs cocktails as part of just about ANY occasion.
