Sushi Xtra is located on Queen Street West, just east of Spadina. The Sushi Toronto review team decided to check it out after purchasing a half price group deal from RedFlagDeals.com Deal of the Day. Please read our conversational review, below.
The final roll was the Fire Dragon Roll that was actually recommended multiple times by Foursquare users. It’s shrimp tempura and avocado topped with white fish and baked. It definitely was unique—had a smokey taste to it – for lack of a better description. I wasn’t a huge fan but it wasn’t horrible or anything. The smokiness doesn’t seem proper for sushi, in my books.
That covers the food — now back to the ‘Deal Menu’ we were handed once they realized we were using a group-buy coupon. First thought was the ‘Deal Menu’ had prices that were cranked up — essentially eliminating the ‘deal’.
We snagged a delivery/take-out menu on the way out the door (which matches the menu on their web site):
» Sushi Xtra Roll is listed @ $8.95 — we paid $10.50
» Fire Dragon Roll is listed @ $8.99 — we paid $10.95
» Salmon Sushi Pizza is listed @ $6.95 — we paid $9.50
» Spicy Tuna Roll is listed @ $4.75 — we paid $7.50
» Spicy Scallop Roll is listed @ $5.25 — we paid $7.50
The above is around an $11 difference. Our coupon saved us $15 (so, um, I guess is really saved us $4). It seems that Sushi Xtra is extra shady in their marketing practices!

There were bugs on our bento box, the manager offered us a 15% discount…
Gross.
