. . "This review pertains to the location on Spadina Ave., south of Dundas St.\n\nMy first visit to this place was not the greatest experience. The waitress specifically asked me to write my all-you-can-eat orders for hot and cold foods on separate scraps of paper. But the result of this was that half my order went missing for 40 minutes, which meant I sat there like an idiot for 35 minutes after my last food arrival had run out, and they took that long to notice.\n\nTo its credit, the restaurant gave me a discount for that meal.\n\nI gave the place a second chance a few weeks later and had no problems. It is not the most refined sashimi place, but the quality is relatively good across the board. The salmon and white-tuna sashimi are good, as is the unagi sushi. They also have mango or green-tea ice cream. They also have a spicy sesame chicken I enjoy, and their shrimp tempura is excellent, though they've messed up my order a few times. (When I ask for five pieces, please, either give me five pieces, or tell me I can't order that many at once. Don't just give me three.)\n\nThe menu is missing a few staples (such as egg and salmon-roe sushi), not a huge drawback. However, stay away from the grilled salmon belly -- I've ordered this twice and both times the salmon belly was undercooked and gave me quite an upset stomach.\n\n=================\n(Update: March 2015)\n\nThis Spadina location has now been replaced by a \"Chinese ramen\" (?) restaurant."^^ . .
