| - The only positive thing I have to say about this place is that the owner (I think he is anyway) Simon is pretty friendly. He says hello and goodbye to most of the customers. But this alone cannot convince me to go back for two reasons.
1) rudeness. I had the chicken terriyaki once. It was very obvious that the chicken was too old. Anyone who's had expired chicken in their fridge know that undeniable stink. This crap smelled like that even though it was doused in terriyaki sauce and burned on both sides. Even my dinning companion smelled it across the table... Instead of freaking out, I just assumed that it was an oversight and calmly asked for a replacement, explaining the reason. Instead of apologizing for this, as she should have, the waitress gave me the dirtiest look and YANKED the food off the table. She did eventually came back with a plate that didn't reek of poo, but she tossed it onto the table with even more attitude than the first time. So maybe she was new/inexperienced, however, nobody else apologized for the behaviour, the oh-so-friendly chef Simon didn't make an appearance. I never went back after this incident.
2) before the shitty terriyaki incident, I had tried their lunch menus on two incidents and was sorely disappointed on both times. YES it's only 5.99, but you truly got what you paid for here. The portions were TINY, the tempura (in the bento) was soggy and cold. The rolls were 80% rice, and they tried to replace any "good" bits like fish, crab, or avocado with huge pieces of cucumber. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the quality of the Sushi on Bloor 5.99 lunches either, but that's way better than what they try to sell at this place.
