| - My wife and I, stalwart Bloorcourteans both, just finished our very first meal at Rikishi. As I type this, we are drinking the last of our big boy Sapporos following an all-around dynamite meal (which, incidentally, included a gorgeous dynamite roll).
On the speed of service, upon which other reviewers have remarked: we were seated as soon as we arrived by a friendly, attentive waitress who immediately took our drink orders. From the Sapporos, to the complementary order of edamame, to the bill, everything arrived quickly and with an appreciative smile.
On the food: we ordered a la carte -- miso soups, seaweed salads, agedashi tofu, 6 piece tuna role, and 6 piece spicy dynamite roll. I've eaten sushi at least 100,000 times prior to this meal. And Rikishi stacks up admirably against all the rest. Every bite was fresh and refreshing.
On the rest: were we the only people there? Yes. Did we have to wait in line? No. And that's a significant plus for this calibre of sushi. The decor? They have one. It's cute. The price? A bit more than average, but I can't imagine a better way to drop half a c-note.
