TJQ 5 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 A little off topic here. Last year when we went to the Sportsmans show, Monique and I stayed downtown near the Eatons Center. One night we asked the desk for a good sushi bar, and they gave us directions to this place a bit west of Yonge Street. I can't remember the name of it, but it was fantastic. Moniques going shopping with Jaden in early August and Id like to try and find it again for her. If you've been there it will stand out in your mind, cause its only about the size of my kitchen.. 4 or 5 tables and a max of 12-15 seats. Its not a chain and there was barely any room to move around in there. To the best of my rather fuzzy recollection it was within easy walking distance, I think between the Eaton center and City hall.. perhaps a bit north... but definitely west of Yonge. Anyone have any ideas?? I cant find it on the net, there's just too many... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemo 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 TJ just west of Yonge? Was it on Dundas or Queen or a smaller side street. There are tons of sushi spots near there. I google mapped Yonge and Dundas and typed in Sushi http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&q=Yon...sa=N&tab=wl Worst case call the Hotel and ask them what they recommend and maybe that'll jog your memory. Let me know if you need more help I work right round there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bdox 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 I would hazard a guess at Japango, but there are so many sushi places downtown. Down at King & Simcoe there is a really good one called Sei, if you don't find the place you're looking for you might want to give it a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Japango Sushi & Noodle Restaurants 122 Elizabeth Street, Toronto, ON, M5G 1P5 416-599-5557 If worse comes to worst you can go to Bernie's in London. He's on Adelaide, just south of Oxford.

backbay 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 TJ, I work downtown and will take at walk at lunch, or afterwork. The place you refer to might have been just west of Bay, on Wellesley, perhaps? I can't remember the name.... For the record, my favourite place is Sushi D. It's on College, in Little Italy, has amazing white tuna, and an all-you-can-eat deal for $20 during the week.

highdrifter 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 If they're up for a little stroll by the harbor there's a great place at Queen's Quay and Bathurst called Gui Rei. I'd recommend the Spider Roll (softshell crab). It's like, ridiculous!! Gui Rei Sushi cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark02 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 Try NAMI at 55 Adelaide East (two blocks east of Yonge St.) You will be very impressed. I think it's the best Japanese restaurant in the city. Check out their website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cram 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 TJ - if they're near Yorkville, suggest they try Sushi Inn. Despite being in yorkville its not expensive, and has SO much throughput of customers that the fish is uber-fresh. I eat sushi all over the city and their freshness rivals the most expensive places in town. Really awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigreddog 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 I remember going to Japango almost every week years ago with my wife. Always a wonderful experience, small and intimate, and of course, the food! Sadly, it's been a long time since I've been. I'll have to rectify that sometime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
