| - If your tummy starts a rumblin' while you're taking a stroll down Yonge past Wellesley with only a few bucks in your pocket, the "$5.99 LUNCH SPECIAL" sign might just draw you in like a mesmerized moth to the light. At least, that is what happened to me one sunny afternoon last week.
Although the restaurant itself was surprisingly deep, brightly lit, well air conditioned, and high ceilinged and the service genuine and quick, the food wasn't thaaat special. But hey, it was $5.99! I've paid a lot more for a lot less - quality and quantity-wise. The salad dressing was a little too creamy to be appetizing and the miso soup a tad bland, but for a dollar less than the lunch special at the cheapo sushi joint just down the street, the two beautifully plated rolls - I went with the Sky Dome and Avocado combo - were a treat.
After requesting that I be able to keep the a la carte menu to peruse during my meal, I delighted in the colourful photos and descriptions that were to be tough choices for less frugal future meals and couldn't wait to be back.
I'm happy to be able to report now that dinner at Sushi Supreme is not only still great bang for your buck, but even more tasty. The refreshingly riceless cucumber wrapped salad roll ($6) comes with a whopping eight pieces; the ikayaki ($5.50) is an entire juicy grilled squid complete with body and tentacled legs sliced up, served with a sweet and smokey soy dip; and the vegetable tempura ($3) is nine pieces of delicate and flavourful crispiness.
Once again, the service was tops. Water (served with lemon slices) was constantly refilled without beckoning. When this guy in the booth behind me had a severe case of the sneezies (picture fifteen consecutive snotful explosions at two second intervals), the server discretely brought over a box of tissues and offered her sincere "bless you's". How sweet!
