For fresh fish I like Christie at Cachet and Sherry at Honeygirls in Toronto! For restaurants, I like SushiTime off of Queen and SushiInn in Yorkville.rajiv1973 said:Any recommendations for really great sushi restaurants. Yukiguni in Niagara Falls is my choice.
Definitely agree, but you can get out of Sushi Inn for $20 bucks easy, while it's not hard to spend as much as ten times that at Kaji. They will however make you believe it was worth it.james t kirk said:This has been covered before, however, the best Sushi in Toronto is at Kaji, without a doubt.
After that, there are several other top places - Hiro, Blowfish, etc.
But the Number One spot in Toronto, (I've even heard it said Canada) is Kaji on the Queensway in Etobicoke.
I second that, although certainly not for the budget minded.james t kirk said:But the Number One spot in Toronto, (I've even heard it said Canada) is Kaji on the Queensway in Etobicoke.
I second the above for sushi. Hama ( the one at Pacific Place right ? ) has limited menu item sashami-wise, but they are always very fresh and pieces are large. I eat at Ichiban (2 blocks north of and off Yonge and Shepperd ) about once a month. Very good variety, fresh, for the price it's quite good and I don't really care if it's Korean run.lomotil said:My favorite sushi places are Hama... Zen
I was just there a few weeks ago. I love that place!frankcastle said:I like Sushi Island on College. All you can eat for a bit under $20 and while not suited for the sushi purist it does have a lot of interesting rolls etc. Good for if you are taking people who might be vegetarian as they have enough veggie stuff that I have actually sat down to just eat vegetarian stuff without getting bored and still leaving many dishes untried. Is the place fine dining? No. Just good food, creative menu, reasonable price and very central location (close to plenty of bars for after dinner).
However, I will add that the interior design is pleasant enough rather than being say a cheap dive.
Oh yea. There were people standing for an hour waiting. But damn it was good.frankcastle said:Just a side note it's easy to get a table for lunch on a weekday but dinner in general you'd be wise to make a reservation at Sushi Island.
The place on Queen East, is that the one on the south side, just about a block east of Woodbine?Mr. Downtown said:Tojo is definately one of the best. On the local scene, Blowfish is pretty good but a bit pricy. Dont waist your money at Ki (overpriced - moreso that Blowfish) and sub-standard (read: standard for Toronto - sorry but its true) in quality. Personally I think Hiro is so over-rated and the service is piss-poor. For the best combination of price and quality (plus they hire real Japanese girls, not Chinese passing themselves off as Japanese - almost sounds like they run incall too) is Numi Sushi on Queen St E in the Beach. Bit of a haul to get too but great sushi.
