"Went out for a walk to the Carlton-Sherbourne area to try out Zakkushi's $10 pitcher deal and yakitori, but when we arrived we were drawn to the gorgeous white-and romantically lit interior of the downstairs sushi bar, Sushiya. \n\nWhat an incredible find. There is no avocado, cream-cheese infused california sushi here. Just beautiful, fresh, authentic Japanese-style sushi. The best I've had in Toronto. The fish was thickly sliced, buttery, and delicate. One of my all-time personal favorites, unagi (bbq eel) was incredible and just as good as I remember from Japan.\n\nThe menu is quite large, with a mix of sashimi plates, grilled fish specials, and a la carte hand rolls. The larger items like the chirashi don and kaisen don were $9.80, which I thought was a steal considering the quality of the fish. For sake drinkers, there's a nice menu with descriptions of each bottle and origin to select from.\n\nService was kind, and friendly. \n\nI can't wait to go back. A definite gem."^^ . "0"^^ . . . .
