So it’s been a looong time since we’ve had sushi. It’s time we got back to it for the new year. This time around, we decided on a small restaurant in downtown Torornto, tucked away on Elizabeth street, just a bit south of Dundas. Japango which ironically the place where the brothers from Wow Sushi used to work at.

Agreed. The place is pretty small and they really jam in the tables to make it even tighter. I had a decent size knapsack and there was nowhere to put it other than taking an area that another customer would normally use. Lucky for us, it wasn’t a busy time for then and we had enough room to use up. Anyways, once we sat down, we immediately get miso soup and then hot green tea served as we look over the menu. Nice on a cold day and I like it when you are immediately served tea rather than have to ask for it specifically.

Ah yes, gamervets.com, it’s a great gaming site targeted towards the older more mature gamers out there. Feel free to check it out! Now that I am done with the plug, on to the food. Since we were the only ones sitting at restaurant at the moment (more start to come in throughout our meal), the tempura appetizer comes out immediately, hot, right out of the fryer. Tasted pretty good and was not too greasy or had too much batter.

Agreed about the Spicy Scallop. I liked that one a lot more than the the Spicy tuna. Both were pretty good with the right amount of “spice” to it. The waiter made a good decision to merge our table with the one beside us giving us more room. One thing curious is that he left the menu and place settings still there for some reason and just moved them aside on the table to make room for the following plates we ordered. Thankfully another waitress came and took them away a little later on. Next out was the Dragon Rolls. They were decent too but since they didn’t have the same kick and flavour as the spicy rolls, not as memorable.

Hmm I could have sworn the dragon roll was shrimp tempura with mix of different sushi and avocado layered on top? Oh well on to our usual sushi pizza. Not sure why this appetizer came out last but whatever, not complaining. It was decent on par with the rest we’ve tried. Standard stuff other than then it was spicier than normal. They did include some chunks of avocado on the side for some reason which is the first I’ve seen that addition.

I pretty much agree with you on all fronts. Nice cozy little place that can get jammed pretty fast I imagine. Seats are close together with not much room to maneuver. If you have bags or are on the larger size, go during oft peak hours because there’s no way you’ll be able to squeeze in or sit down without hitting someone if it’s busy. Overall an enjoyable experience, nice start to the year after taking so long between our last review. 8/10 for me as well.
