| - First of all, I'm not that fond of sushi. But my wife is. And I try to be a gentleman. So I often go to sushi island. It's not bad I must say. One of the highlights is the range of choice in the all-you-can-eat menu. They have sushis with brown rice, with all kind of tempuras, with all kind of fish, all kind of meat (yes meat). They even have a sushi-pizza and sweet sushis. OK for you Torontonian that may seem normal but for a frenchman it's rice-christmas! Our sushis contain salmon or tuna, seeweed, sometimes, and avocado if the place is really wild. Other plus, the stuff is good! I read that another reviewer can easily come up with 10 sushis place better than this one. I'd love to try them. As I said I am not a sushi connaisseur, but these are definitively the best I had in Toronto. Downsides now. First the service. Not the fact that they are not smiling. I'm coming from Paris, I kind of like that. But, first, because they try to make you drink tons of tea or water so that the rice expands in your stomach and you leave with a full belly that will seems empty one hour later, and, second, because they put a really nasty pressure on you so that you leave quickly your table. Not the usual 'no rush' that means exactly the contrary but insistant stare-down that tells you that if you don't exit right now the chef is going to come and use you as raw material for his brand new type of sushi. Coming with white or brown rice, tempura and gallons of tea...
