Sushi on Bloor confuses the fuck out of me. It is always packed, and is not really much cheaper, better, or hospitable than any of the other dozen sushi places around it.
I can't even eat on "the maki mile" anymore. The sushi there is just so bad. I really dug Japango behind City Hall, but their chef, Ken Zhang left a couple of years back, and they've slipped slightly, but they're still the best place to get a typical sushi combo at a low price. Ken Zhang chef moved to Yuzu near Croc Rock, but they do more upscale stuff, even though they have a nice typical sushi combo there too. But then Ken Zhang moved again and is at Sushi Couture located also on the infamous maki mile, but his menu there was so crazy that I left dissapointed.
Then again, I only went to Sushi Couture when it first opened, I should check it out again.
