I have been dying for proper Japanese sushi and came here for my birthday. Me and my husband had sushi lunch for 2 for $36, so it's $18 per person. It came with miso soup and salad, temaki and California roll, assorted nigiri and ice cream. Temaki and California roll plate is more North American, but they were actually quite good. Nigiri was very good, my favorite is one with grilled skin and green on top. Only thing is I could eat a couple more nigiri. Ice cream was good too. It's bit pricy for me to come regularly but definitely come back again.
This is our third visit to Toronto downtown and we just discovered this hidden gem on our last evening of this visit. This place is quiet and spacious and both sofa seat area and bar table are very comfortable. We were greeted by very friendly and informative staff to each and every entry of those dishes we ordered. We sat by the window and ordered edamame and deep-fried bean curd with tempura sauce as a start. It was done in the way in very nice Kyoto restaurants. As we are not too hungry, we tried the ramen and the chef's sushi dinner set. It's worth trying the chef's version as you are offered the most seasonal selection of delicious fresh fish on rice. You know you are into a treat and a premium quality when the sushi are presented with the right cut, sushi rice at room-temperature means that each bite is a delight. The ramen has an authentic not over the top broth with very nice aroma of house-smoked pork slice, a hint of ginger and the texture of the noodles is spot on. We are delighted with the quality of both warm and cold dishes given that we think the place is a champion on seasonal sushi and sashimi, their kitchen in delivering warm dishes is to the standard you would expect any authentic Japanese restaurants will deliver. After our mains, we decided to try three more types of sushi on-order and the salmon roes and flying fish roes are presented very nicely. This is to us the best way to end the meal rather than to order a dessert. We definitely will come back in our next trip to try their lunch menu and is looking forward to the tempura udon. Please do let us know if you have tried that in your next trip :-)
Place was quiet, not sure if I should come in at first, but I am glad I did try this place out. Fish is very fresh and tasty. Better than some of the place that charge double. I am happy with everything I ordered!! Will come again very soon!
