Go Fish

Cheap sushi joints are ubiquitous. Even relatively untrendy Bloor and Dovercourt has 3. I skipped the more popular Mazz Sushi to try smaller Tokyo Sushi on Friday. The menu is the same as anywhere else: a number of sushi set, a few bento box combos, and various miscellani. I ordered the "S-5" ($14.95), which in this case meant 10 pieces of sushi and 8 dynamite rolls.

The complimentary miso soup and salad were run-of-the-mill. I was pleasantly surprised by the fried glass noodle which had a good chew and was lip-smackingly greasy. The sushi set was about the same level of quality as Mazz. The rice tasted slightly better, though perhaps a touch too soft. The fish was slightly worse: a tad less flavourful or in the case of the shrimp tempura in the maki, not sufficiently crispy. It was as expected, good for a quick bite but not a great dining experience.
