"0"^^ . "I love sushi, and being a frequent (weekly or more) sushi-devourer I can't always afford the cream of the crop sushi restaurants around the city. So for good quality food at a reasonable price, Saku is my go-to. The menu includes the usual maki rolls such as red tuna, spicy salmon and dynamite; a really good aburi platter (although JaBistro's aburi is still my favourite); salads; fusion foods such as tuna ceviche and carpaccio; and warm Japanese fare including beef yaki udon. Their wakame salad is a refreshing twist on the typical wakame-in-a-bowl that you get at most sushi restaurants. The yaki udon (both beef yaki udon and seafood nabeyaki udon) are delicious comfort foods. But I have to say that by far my favourite items on the menu are the raw special rolls. I can't say enough about these rolls! Picture a maki roll on steroids! It's basically a roll filled with fish, topped with more fish, and garnished with added flavour. Drool-worthy! They range from $12-$13 and they are definitely the best bang for your buck. I personally am satisfied after one of these, but somehow I always make room for more :)\n\nThe ambience at Saku Sushi is pleasant. It's not too loud, which is very conducive to lunch/dinner conversation, and the restaurant is clean. The layout is good for a Queen St W venue with a fair amount of seating. There is a decent amount of natural light coming in if you're near the mid/front of the restaurant, but it's a little bit dim if you sit further back. The staff is also very pleasant and attentive. \n\nThis place is great value, good quality and I will definitely be coming back."^^ . . "0"^^ . "2017-07-26T00:00:00"^^ . . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . .
