I never realized how small it was until I got there. I agree with you though, sometimes these are the hidden gems. I know that I see this place almost everyday as it’s on my walking route to work and been meaning to check it out. When I first arrived, it was pretty much empty. When I was seated I noticed some nice little touches you don’t see at the standard “yet another sushi” restaurants: Cloth napkins and little rock holders for your chopsticks.

The menu has pretty traditional items as well as the ”omakase” which is apparently the chef’s choice as a dinner. One of these days I’d like to try that one out. This time we went for sushi pizza, spicy tuna rolls, Yokohama rolls (salmon, cucumber, avocado, lettuce, spicy mayo) and a sushi plate (Sushi Yokohama Set: 10 pieces of Nigiri, 6 pieces of California Roll)

You know I actually think the waiter also doubles as the owner/sushi chef… He’s a jack of all trades! As we were there, the place started to fill up. Then again, due to the shear size of the place, adding a few more people will quickly make the place full. Full house = around 16 people.

Yes the food was very fresh. You can really tell the difference here. Also I noticed that the sushi was prepared in a more traditional way where there is some wasabi already in between the rice and the fish. I like that. Your right in that the rice was very soft and required a lot of chopstick skills to handle it properly without it breaking into pieces. After all the sushi restaurants we’ve reviewed so far, I had higher hopes for your skills. A bit disappointed my friend. The proof is in the soy sauce dish!

You’re not kidding. The chef got very heated in that discussion. What I got out of it was that the “All you can eat” sushi idea originally came from Vancouver and he simply hates it. The quality of fish suffers and an overall lack of sushi skill that is required to prepare it. I think he mentioned something about seasonal fish or maybe overpopulation. Not exactly sure but what I do know is he hates the idea with a passion.

Well you know me and complimentary dessert (instant +0.5 to my rating)….and I don’t count a couple slices of oranges as dessert. Anyways, it was a rice pudding kind of thing and was nice finish to an overall excellent meal. Solo Sushi Bekkan is an easy recommend for me and especially over the other 3 sushi restaurants in the area. 9 / 10.

This is the place that has replaced the Sunset Grill which had great cheap breakfasts but brutal service to say the least which I am sure the reason why that place went belly up. Let’s hope that Sushi Supreme Fusion doesn’t follow in those footsteps. The first good sign is that they have a 20% off promotion going on. Discounts are always welcome.

Don’t forget the large flat screen tv hanging above playing CP24. I am noticing this trend of restaurants putting these up more and more now. Not really sure why. I can understand if it’s a sports bar but doesn’t really fit in a sushi restaurant. Oh well, at least I’ll be up to date on any “breaking news”! I think we also had some kind of UFO roll or something like that. Too tempting not to order. The service was very prompt but probably because there weren’t too many customers that night. Unfortunately for you, they were still in the process of getting their liquor license so I guess it’s gonna be green tea and cokes.

The UFO wasn’t actually a roll but sort of came in pieces that were maybe shaped as a flying object? Oh well, it was okay as was the rest of the food. Nothing really special to say about them though or the rest of the rolls. They tasted alright I guess but nothing memorable to write about.

I gotta agree with you. You can file this one under the “yet another sushi place” category among the hundreds of other sushi places popping up everywhere. There really isn’t anything special or memorable that would make me want to go back. From the average tasting food and the standard menu, there’s just too many better places to go to instead. I actually kind of wished Sunset Grill was still around with better service of course. Oh well, Sushi (not so) Supreme Sushi gets a 6 out of 10 from me.

What really caught my eye was what was written on that sign, something like: ”…the best sushi in Toronto ever!” which to me is a pretty bold statement and pretty much means we have to try this place. I agree, the decor was nice although when I walked in, the wind chime/bell hanging above the door was too low since it hit my head… and I am not that tall.

Gotta agree with you about the shared backs of the bench in the centre row seating section. You were lucky you didn’t have to share the back with anymore. Me, not so lucky. It’s not the end of the world but still a bit annoying. Something to avoid the next time. Anyways, the menu was easy to read and had a lot of options. I am a big lover of variety and they did have quite a few types of combinations. Of course we go with the standard sushi pizza but this time we decided to go with one of their rolls combos (you remember the item number?) which comprised of spicy tuna rolls, california rolls, spider rolls and dynamite rolls. (one more that I can’t remember, it was the one with just cucumber I think.)

Yes the sushi pizza wasn’t the greatest. Might have been slightly overcooked because the pizza was more crunchy than I am use to. Presentation of the rolls plate was also very impressive. Looking around a few other people, it seems that’s the “norm” on some of their dishes which I always like to see. Care in presentation usually means care in the food as well. I enjoyed all the rolls including the Spider rolls. I am a big fan of soft shell crab which I am thinking you aren’t since you didn’t quite appreciate it as much as I did.

Ah! Almost forgot about the appetizer noodle soup bowl we got as a free appetizer. Hopefully this is norm rather than a promotional item. It tasted very good and was a nice surprise to start off the meal. I’ll have to check it out on a more usual dinner night, eg. Fri or Sat to see if the place is doing any better. This location has seen a few other Japanese/Korean Fusion restaurants come and go. Can we say “Witches Table” that I think lasted for maybe a week and then I believe “Soban” before that. Sushi Hana has a tough act to follow but it seems it’s focused on sushi rather than the sushi/Korean food combo that the previous restaurants offered.

I really enjoyed it and will be back again to try something else. 8.5/10 for me. I just wonder how long it’ll last as the history of the location isn’t so good. Recommend that you do not sit in the middle section, especially if it’s busy as you’ll be bouncing back and forth with whoever is sitting behind you.

I was first to arrive there and was actually the only customer at the time. It’s a very cozy place but it was a bit unnerving being there by myself outnumbered by staff as I waited for my fellow co-reviewer. I figured that your train was probably delayed. I noticed that the transit systems just get worse in the winter time… but that’s another rant.

I could see your eyes watering when the waitress mentioned that they don’t serve alcohol. I guess they never bothered getting a liquor license. With such a small place, doesn’t surprise me too much. Anyways, the menus were small booklet type and the one thing that I noticed right away was that they didn’t have sushi pizza!

Ha you were really into that plastic cup! One thing good about being the only people there initially is that we got our food really fast. People did start to trickle in and it looks like it’s also a goto place for takeout as a lot of people were popping in to pick up their orders. The food was quite good and fresh including the special Green Day Roll which was basically a roll wrapped in avocado. What we did realize as we were eating was…. we didn’t order enough! Bring on the menus again.

Again, the food came out quick. As it turned out, the Volcano Roll was very good. Grilled Salmon with “special sauce”. The Rainbow roll, standard among most sushi places was also quite good. It was definitely enough to fill us up.

I think they were celebrities too. Can’t seem to remember which ones though but there were a lot of them signed personally. Overall a fun, cozy little place that I can see myself going back to. Eight erupting volcanoes out of 10. One thing I should note is I still couldn’t figure out where the washrooms were. As we were leaving I figured I’d spot it on the way out. No such luck.

I know this place pretty well. Just like just about every Japanese sushi restaurant here in Toronto, it’s either run by Chinese or Korean. This time it’s my Chinese brothers. So of course we get better service. I love the green tea so I always go with it. You can also tell a lot about places by their green tea and how hot it is.

I seem to think for some reason we didn’t go with the specials this time. It was something like a ‘maki combo’ or something like that with a bunch of different regular type rolls. It was good but I am thinking we should have gone with more of the specialty rolls rather than the tradional maki variety.

This one is a little rough. To be fair we should probably go there sometime again in the future to review it properly since our memory has let us down. I’ll also give it a 7 plain ol’ rolls out of 10.

I agree it was pretty quiet but I guess we caught it on an off night. I’ve been past it before and it’s usually fairly busy.
