Sushi is an acquired taste and Mi Ne Sushi really delivers. The decor is minimal but really apt. The servers were very friendly and helped out with what to order. My favourite was the spider roll.
I tried one of their sushi, sashimi and rolls take-out platter from this place. The selection and freshness of the fish was very decent for affordable sushi. The raw shrimp tasted fresh, and the rolls were well made, although the fillings weren't as flavourful as I would have liked. Also, their spicy salmon was way more panko crumbs and sauce than fish. This place is certainly better than most sushi places in the city, but not a place I would deliberately go to unless its location happened to be very convenient at the time.

Stopped in on a Saturday night. Right away I loved the cuteness of this place. There are some little booths along the wall when you walk in that have privacy curtains. They look like they fit about 4 people but since we were just two and the booths were already full we got a table by the front window. This place is tiny and filled up very quickly.
We followed our usual sushi routine and split some veggie gyoza and vegetable tempura to start and ordered vegetarian maki rolls. We ordered two yam tempura rolls, one veggie roll and one asparagus avocado cucumber (AAC) roll. Everything was truly delicious. I was really happy to find veggie gyoza on the meu and they were nice and crunchy. I really liked the presentation of the yam tempura rolls, but the veggie roll was definitely my favourite. It had cucumber, avocado, pickled radish and squash. I love avocado, the cucumber made it taste refreshing and the radish and squash added a nice depth. I would say the only thing the menu is missing would be some kind of "signature" vegetarian maki roll and maybe a vegetarian spicy crispy roll. Otherwise it did seem like a great menu and there were a few things I would be interested in going back to try.
The service was pretty good despite the two servers being swamped with dine-in and take-out orders. Our water glasses were always promptly refilled and we were in and out pretty quick. We were also given fresh little oranges at the end of our meal which was a nice touch.
