For those who know me they know that when I eat sushi I am the standard eater. Don't get me wrong I love to try new things but sushi has been something that when I have found what I like, I stick to it. I have enjoyed Sakura Sushi on two different occasions so you get two for one in this post.
Located on Jane Street just before Annette St. north of Bloor is where you will find this small sushi restaurant. When I dined at the location it was very peaceful and simple. Nothing fancy. The perfect spot to get away from all the traffic of downtown busy sushi restaurants. The decor was mostly IKEA which is seeming to be the first choice for new small restaurants. I mean who can blame them though its inexpensive and consistent plus it looks good. I can't be one to talk as my apartment is furnished with IKEA.
So now for the food. I have to say I was very impressed. The person I was dining with and I ordered a pop each, edamame to start, 2 spicy tuna rolls, 1 California roll, 1 green dragon roll, 1 salmon and cream cheese roll, 1 shrimp tempura roll, 1 tuna roll, 1 avocado roll, 4 sushi salmon pieces and 2 sushi tuna pieces. Yes the answer to your question is we were very hungry. The sushi was very good and it arrived very quickly. The restaurant did only ever have one other table other then us but still did about 3 or 4 orders for take out orders also. The sushi was very fresh which is a big must for a place this size. You can tell right away when fish has been sitting for too long just from the taste.
The service was very good also. Language is usually a partial barrier for small locations like this and I will admit that at times I didn't understand a word that was said to me but at the end of the day we got exactly what we ordered and for me that's the most important part.
The best part of the meal was that all of that food came to $56. You really can't beat this for a local spot that has great fresh sushi and here's the kicker, THEY DELIVER! When I discovered that they delivered I was in heaven. Now they won't deliver all over Toronto but if you are in the Bloor West Village area and the order is over $25 then you get free delivery also. So the second time around I decided to order in and there is nothing better then having sushi delivered to your door. The sushi was just as good the second time. Just be sure to ask for extra soy sauce because they don't give too much.
This was a great overall experience and would recommend this sushi secret to anyone. I give them a 8.5 out of 10.
Arigato gozaimasu!
