Sushi super-fan here, First and foremost i would like to address Carolyn McBeths' comment.... I have traveled around the world a considerable amount and eaten sushi in the finest of places. This hidden gem of a restaurant, most certainly served the finest and freshest quality of sushi. Carolyn McBeth, Nigiri (which is more commonly known as sushi, the one with the fish on top of the rice) is actually SUPPOSED to have a dab of Wasabi under the fish, this is the traditional and proper was to prepare Nigiri. So please, if you don't like this, know that it is down to YOUR preference and not the quality of the food at the resturant. And if you want to eat it bland, I suggest you stick to your supermarket sushi.
Furthermore, clearly the chef/owners main concern is not making a large profit, but serving sushi only of the highest standards. For instance I tried to order some magaro sashimi and he came to me personally to tell me that the magaro he had left was not to his standards of quality and therefore didn't want to serve it to me. Another example of this was when I went there for dinner of an evening, sadly they had run out sushi rice (which actually needs ageing after being made) due to the immense busyness (the whole resturant was full) of the evening and probably the day too, albeit they closed early and I didn't get my delicious sushi. Again he came to me personally to apologise for my inconvenience and explained why he had to shut early, but even without his explanation, I could see that he had hardly anything left, out of what he had prepared during the course of that day, because of the obvious popularity of this place. Because of this attribute I find it very, very hard indeed to believe any sushi of any poor quality would ever leave his kitchen, in my regard only the finest. Making sushi is an art indeed, and the chef at Yuki Sushi, is the greatest artist of his kind, in my opinion and everyone else's who I have spoken to about...
Read moreI ordered two of the sashimi entree (18 pieces) + a couple handrolls after over a week of our schedules not lining up and it was well worth the wait! Growing up in Markham and traveling through Toronto I have had cuts of fish from many different restaurants! Being in our small town I never expected our fish to be so fresh but knew that they must be doing something right so I finally tried it (I have a habit of going all the way to vaughn for my favourite place for value and fish cut or to barrie out of convenience) but my oh my is Yuki Sushi better than any other restaurant in simcoe area! The sashimi cuts were perfect in size and the freshness of the fish made them incomparable. The garnishes were fresh and the meal was plated w. care. I am use to a larger variety of type of fish (coming from a highly sushi populated city) but the fishes they did have matched my cravings and left me wanting more! I have also had unagi from all over since its one of my favourite, and I cant tell you how well they have mastered the art of it! Cook: perfect. Sauce: finger-licking good and Flavour? unmatched in quality. Even my favourite place in vaughn has a fishier taste of eel. :|
The pricing is fair for the quality so if you have the opportunity to treat yourself and your family do it because they will have you eyes closed in appreciation! Order early so they can confirm they have stalk. See you soon Yuki Sushi team! Thanks for a great meal. Arigato...
Read moreOrdered takeout last night for my husband and myself, and really enjoyed it! The miso soup was delicious, the wakame salad was heaped in a large portion and the perfect semi-crunchy texture, and my spicy yam and avocado rolls were very tasty.
I loved that the avocado in my rolls wasn't brown (so gross) and that my yam rolls were made with yam tempura that just came out of the fryer and were still really warm by the time I got home. Also loved that the rolls were small enough to be bite sized. I'd also ordered a yam tempura appetizer but I didn't even get a chance to eat any because the rest was so filling (but it looked delicious and was piping hot when i got it home).
I usually only give four stars to restaurants unless they're exceptional, however the server went the extra step and went out of her way to open the door for me when my hands were full with my order, so I'm popping that fifth star on here for excellent service.
Will...
