I was surprised to see bad reviews for this place. Name and interior could be better, but the sushi quality is excellent. Enjoyed every visit! The Chef's choice is a good option for indecisive people like myself. Tuna avocado tartar is delicious. Tempura nice and crispy without excessive oil. Prices are very reasonable for the value you get.
This place used to be among my top 2 favourite Japanese sushi restaurants in the city. It is still within my top 5, but I find their rolls and sushi to be inconsistent. Sometimes, they're amazing, with perfect rice and flavour balance. Other times, it's no better than cheap sushi. Although the menu selection isn't large, the fish is very fresh and high quality and their sushi accompaniments are perfect, i.e. fried minced garlic, flame thrower charred fish, etc. My sister likes that they offer brown rice as an option for sushi and maki. The price is affordable, not cheap, but still a good value. Their miso soup is very good, as well. Be sure to try their black sesame ice cream. Note that you need to ask for their freshly grated wasabi. Otherwise you'll get the typical paste wasabi. Service is also hit or miss at this place. I'm still a loyal customer, and I still recommend it, but you never know what you're going to get.
After wrapping a full day of Doors Open (5 sites in 5 hours), it was time to feast and get some food in our bellies. We decided to walk back to Wow Sushi where it was closing when we tried to go for dinner after a movie in the area. It's not a huge place but it always seems to get good reviews. We ordered a Maki Dinner that comes with three rolls: California, Spicy Salmon, and Tempura for sharing. They were well made with minimal rice, however we thought it was not their best cut of Salmon on display. The other roll we ordered was their soft shell crab roll. This was really well made and delicious. Not only was it crispy but the crab's individual flavor dominated my taste buds. I will probably return for this item but I would not order the Maki Dinner next time.
