Disclaimer: I haven't tried any of their sushi or sashimi The seaweed salad was $2.99 for a small, and $3.99 for a large. The one at metro cost over $5. This seaweed salad tasted restaurant quality seaweed salad like a dinner AYCE seaweed salad which I loved, as opposed to the terrible tasting metro salad. Thank god for Sushi K because this saved my lunch LOL, I can't eat bad seaweed salad. That's just murder to a foodie. Would love to try some of their sushi sometime, maybe. I'll have to see but my expectations are pretty high now. 4/5

You can order party platters here too, but I decided to just buy the fish and prep it at home. The staff also provided a bag of ice to keep everything chilled, which was so clutch. There was no fishy smell from the salmon and Chu-toro. Each bite was fatty, had great chew, and was such a satisfying bite each time. I made some sushi rice myself to make gunkan maki with the uni and it was the highlight bite of each round. Considering just one uni gunkan maki is ~$20 for one, we definitely got our money's worth having it freshly assembled at the table. Honestly one of the best meals the husband and I have shared in a minute!

But it's truly a neighborhood hidden gem. For the prices and the quality, I was quite shocked how well everything was made. It seems to be run by an older couple, very small family business vibe. I was shocked to get a box of an assortment of tempura on the house. The hospitality was nice. Honestly, for the quality of the sushi I got I would actually pay more since it was that good (but I hope the prices stay). It was definitely a pleasure to have a meal there!

During my first visit I was really excited to have a new sushi restaurant so close to home. I got…read morethe deluxe sashimi combo and the deluxe chirashi to go and it was amazingly fresh, like J-San sushi market level. The deluxe combo had red snapper, salmon, red tuna, surf clam, and albacore tuna. Fast forward weeks later I took my sister to dine in during my second visit and ordered the same items. This time, the fish quality had changed drastically. It was still slightly frozen, and cuts were either too fatty to be enjoyable or watery and chewy. The sashimi cuts didnt even look the same as when they had the grand opening. This time it had salmon, red tuna, albacore tuna, a spot prawn, and some really fatty whitefish. I was disappointed in the selection as I really enjoyed red snapper last time. The spot prawn was very fishy and limp, with ice shards still in the shell. I developed a stomach ache during the meal and had to stop eating. Its almost like they switched to a different sushi grade after the grand opening. Now its just like one of the other convenient sushi places in Toronto.

I did like how they placed the flower right in the center, which made it look nice at first glance, but the overall quality was a bit questionable once you got into it. The freshness of the sushi was not really there. Tuna looked discolored, and the rolls felt pretty loosely wrapped, almost like whoever made them was ready to call it a day. It just did not feel like much care was put into it. If I could turn back time, I probably would have just cooked something simple at home instead. It was not the worst experience ever, but definitely not the meal I was hoping for either.

The sashimi, sushi, dons, and green salad were pretty good. But the bento boxes - not so much. I…read morehad the Sashimi and Torched Sushi Combo, which consisted of salmon, tuna, and surf clam sashimi (hokkigai), and 3 types of torched sushi (salmon, squid, and scallops). The torched sushi were REALLY good - very flavourful with just the right amount of rice. In addition to the combo, I ordered the Green Salad (with dressing on the side), which came as a medium-sized bowl of fresh leafy greens and cucumber. Unagi Don was good too. It came with diced up tamago (eggs) beneath the unagi. Salmon Bento Box looked terrible (glad it wasn't my order). The salmon looked fried, oily, and covered with a very thick layer of teriyaki sauce (bound to be sweet). It came with a few pieces of deep-fried gyoza and salmon hand roll, where you get to assemble it yourself with a wide sheet of dried seaweed. The hand roll was probably the only good thing in that bento box. There was no salad or veggie whatsover (which is typically part of most bento boxes at other places). Every main item order came with miso soup, which contained a bit of seaweed and tofu. The interior of the restaurant wasn't that big, but it was nice and cozy. Capacity was about half full at mid-day, but we were able to snag a table for four without any wait time. Service was prompt and efficient.

Chimichurri steak was pretty tasty. It was cooked to medium. Loco moco was pretty good though slightly overcooked. Sides & rice were quite plain. Pork adobo plate lunch (lunch portion): pork was tasty: sweet, sour & salty with some fat. Some sauce dripped down & flavoured the rice. There was seaweed on the rice which gave it an umami boost. Lemonade had a nice texture from the basil seeds & a passionfruit accent besides the lemon. Spam musubi was good. The rice was slightly sweet & sour with added flavour from the furikake. There was a good balance of spam & rice & quite a bit of seaweed. Huli Huli chicken plate was tasty with moist chicken & a hint of chili. There was a good sweet, savoury & sour balance. The slaw had a zesty crisp & an intriguing flavour note.  Butter mochi was very good: rich, chewy & slight crisp at the edges with a nice coconut topping.

Pokito is a Hawaiian restaurant/take out joint located along Queen St. W. near Spadina Ave (close…read moreto Cameron St.). They've been a staple for poke in the area for years, however, their menu has expanded to include more Hawaiian foods like plate lunches and snacks (like onigiri and spam musubi). I recently stopped by Pokito to pick up take out for dinner as I had stumbled upon a $10 coupon from the restaurant over Facebook. Upon entering, the space is inviting and warm, with wooden accents throughout the space. There are several tables if you'd like to dine in. The menu is large and they also have daily deals as well. In the small fridge display they have a sample of their poke on display along with other items like onigiri, desserts, and drinks. Their poke bowls are likely the most popular items to be ordered but definitely don't skip out on the plate lunches as well! I opted to grab a garlic shrimp scampi plate lunch (tail-on shrimp sauteed in buttery garlic sauce on rice (can choose between white or brown rice) with mac salad and a salad slaw) for $22.50. I did have $10 off my order which was great. If you sign up for their rewards program you also get other deals as well (the next deal I get is 50% off a plate lunch for a limited time!). My order was made fresh which took about 5-10 min. I didn't mind as I just sat down to wait. Service was friendly and efficient. I had my garlic shrimp scampi plate lunch for dinner. Beware that the shrimp is really garlicy and delicious! Just be careful if you need to talk to someone afterwards because they will smell it. The rice absorbed some of that garlic flavour which made the rice even better. The mac salad was great and the salad slaw helped to cut through everything as well. Portions were large and I was full afterwards. Overall, a great place for Hawaiian plate lunches (and I'm sure poke as well!) in the Queen/Spadina area. Definitely will return to try more of their plate lunches as well as poke.

It is very convenient to get to this restaurant. It's just next to a streetcar stop. That's my…read morefirst impression, lol. It was our first time entering this chained restaurant. We ordered five dishes to try. My favourite was definitely the Famous Pad Thai. I was amazed by it. The taste, aroma, and presentation were all perfect! I guess it is their signature dish. My second love dish was the appetizer Vegetarian Rolls. The dish was fried to a just-right degree that the flour layer was crispy but the vegetable inside was still juicy and crunchy. This restaurant is good to come with family or friends and I'm thinking to come again. However, we won't order the other 3 dishes we ordered this time. They were average or even a bit lower than that. Sorry to say that but I won't order the Green Mango salad and the Stir Fried Vegetables. I didn't enjoy the Tom Yam either but I don't have examples in other restaurants to compare.
