Fast Bass

Small, to-go sushi counters are a native part of the fast-food scene as much as sandwiches and soups. There have been 2 in my building. But some are slightly better than others. I found one on my lunch excursions at Sheppard and Warden. Mika Sushi is primarily a take-out place with only a two-seat table and another spot by the window if you want to eat there. The rolls are pre-packaged though freshly made. With the amount of traffic going through, at least around lunch-time, the containers probably aren't sitting there all there.

I actually got a vegetarian set for $11.99. As such, I got fresh made rolls of vegetarian dragon rolls, spicy crispy roll, and tofu pockets. The portions were quite large and I was happy with the flavour. It also came with your typical desultory miso soup and salad.

On another day, I headed in the opposite direction to Yonge and Sheppard. Here was a cluster of small eateries. I opted for the Buddha Bowl ($10.99). It's not really vegetarian as there is white tuna in the poké dish. However, it was a nice mix of greens, brown and white rice and other ingredients. The fish was tastier than the last poké I had from Poke Guys near City Hall.
