I've been here several times now, and each time has re-confirmed that this is one of the premier sushi houses in Toronto. You can knock the location and décor, but not the food, and that's what matters most.
Here you find that fanatical attention to quality and detail that separates the great from the good. Fresh grated wasabi root instead of the stuff in a tube, tamari soy sauce instead of generic crud, brewed tea instead of tea bags, but first and foremost, the freshness, quality and deft hand in the preparation of the seafood.
Each and every dish I have ordered has been first rate. The toro is just as unctuous, smooth and flavourful as it should be, the squid is perfectly cooked, each roll is a master class in balancing flavours, textures and colours so that each sense may feast on the artistry.
For those looking for massive portions or heavily flavoured mall food, this place will disappoint with reasonable size portions of delicate, subtly flavoured dishes that showcase the fresh, light notes of quality seafood.
Reservations are usually a must as most of the crowd in the know has this small gem on speed dial.
Very highly recommended!
