I can't get enough of sushi - I am certain that I can eat it all day, every day, and be perfectly content. These are some of my favourite places for sushi, in all directions of the city and in all price ranges.

Ki beef maki, Scallop and shrimp skewers: It is absolutely incredible! thin slices of seared beef are on top of sushi filled with sweet potato tempura, asparagus, and scallions. I was very happy with this creation.

The scallops and shrimp are giant and very flavourful...two skewers with three types of dipping sauces make for a really great appetizer.

Sushi place: My friends and I have been going to Gonoe for years, and it shows! We know the menus by heart, two of my friends have rolls named specifically after them, and the waiters know us by name - just goes to show what kind of a place Gonoe is: friendly, lively, but above all else it really is the best place for inexpensive, fresh, delicious sushi (and yakitori). Be sure to try the shitake mushroom roll - best in the city!

Fune Japanese Restaurant

Japanese restaurant: It's truly one of the best Japanese restaurants in the city. The sushi is fresh and the food is presented beautifully. The Ebi dinner in particular is wonderful - giant shrimps and vegetables grilled and seasoned perfectly and accompanied with a ginger dipping sauce.

Aji Sai Japanese Restaurant

What a treat - all you can eat!: So, imagine you're out for lunch with friends, you're starving, and you grab a booth at a cute Japanese restaurant on Queen West and start pulling together an itinerary for your lunch order - when - suddenly - you all notice that the meal is actually all-you-can-eat! Such excitement and possibilities....I addded some meat (literally) to my ordinary sushi order and ended up with 4 chicken yakitori skewers, 12 pieces of sushi, spring rolls, and a salad for under $13 - and on Mon-Thurs the lunch is only $10.99. This place is one of the best all-you-can-eat spots I've tried. It's fast, serves pretty hearty portions (but still smaller than an ordinary place), and the food was excellent. No wonder we had to wait at least 10 minutes for a table!

Asuka Japanese Restaurant

108 Yorkville Ave, Toronto, ON, M5R1B9

Always busy, always delicious: You really can't go wrong at Asuka. There is something about Asuka that sets it apart from some other 'casual, non-high-end' sushi houses, and be prepared to pay slightly more because of it. For one thing, everything is extremely fresh. You can actually smell the freshness when you journey down the steps to the Asuka's front door. While I can't vouch first-hand for the fish freshness (as a non-fish eater) I can say that my friends go crazy for their salmon sashimi, and the seafood that I do eat there is phenomenal. Both the atmosphere and location are selling points too - located in the hear of Yorkville, it's a perfect meeting ground for my friends and me. From the packed tables of regular sushi addicts to the pics of celeb Asuka diners that decorate the walls, you're bound to see a recognizeable face there.
