Based on the website link you sent me the placed look pretty fancy going with the darker modern feel kind of thing. It’s very close to King Subway Station (yes I did take the subway there) and you really can’t miss it. Huge black and Bikkuri sign. When I arrived it wasn’t too busy and was seated by the window. Looking around, has some private rooms/booths as well for larger parties I guess.

Yeah it was lightning quick. Probably because it wasn’t that busy. More people started to trickle in here and there as the evening went on. I guess it’s hard to expect more on a Tuesday night. Your exactly right about the dishes. The first thing I noticed that was different was the Salmon Sushi Pizza. It wasn’t the usual deep fried rice base. The rice base was actually some kind of rice tempura. Different but still tasted pretty good. The rolls were all pretty decent the Shichimi Maki was extra spicy to me. This time more of the spicy sauce variety. This spiciness I prefer over the way Daio Japanese Restaurant does theirs.

Ah yes the Martini Rolls! Presentation and taste was nice but just broke apart too easily. I was going to say that it’s due to your chopstick skills but it was happening to me as well, a seasoned chopstick user…so it must be the sushi chefs fault!

The jury is still out on that fly. Was it already in the glass or did it land there during the dinner?? I’ll give them a slight benefit of the doubt as there was a fly flying around at the end of the dinner so it’s possible it just dropped in on your beer.

Service was pretty good up until that point. It’s aways a bit weird when you have to flag a waiter/waitress down to GIVE them money. At least we get a few candies for our troubles that were included with the bill. Anyways, overall the Bikkuri was decent but nothing really stands out. Might be a good place to have private party dinners as they have private areas with pillows and it looks like you even remove your shoes for more “traditional” Japanese dinning. The prices were a bit more expensive than others but you can probably chalk that up to being in the Yonge and King Street area. I’ll have to add it to the ever growing list of “yet another Toronto sushi place” category. I give it a 7/10. Bonus points for getting another few candies(!) when the waitress returned with the credit card sheet to sign.
