Sushi Queen was once my favourite downtown sushi restaurant for three reasons: 1) It was a 5 minute walk from my apartment; 2) The Calamari roll; 3) The Pink Dragon roll. Their Calamari roll is super crunchy, which is perfect for those of you (who like me) despise the chewy, gooey calamari rolls that most sushi restaurants offer. The Pink Dragon roll is a dream... A crunchy dragon roll covered with layers of raw spicy scallop - so delicious! And, very difficult to find as most sushi restaurants only offer the traditional green, red, or black dragon fare. I could eat the Pink Dragon for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.
In terms of décor, Sushi Queen has gotten a facelift in the last couple of years. The new dark décor is quite modern, and quite atypical of most sushi restaurants. There is ample seating room, and usually, you won't have to wait for a seat.
Service is fine at Sushi Queen (not extraordinary), and your food comes our rather quickly. Prices are reasonable as well.
If you're in the area, pop into Sushi Queen... and make sure that you try the Pink Dragon roll!
