Grainy indeterminate fish that tasted of solvents and Tupperware. callous, shrewd ?counter person? ?hostess? Nurse ratchet character that made me feel like I was waiting in line for a mumps vaccine at school. awful smell. clearly requisitioned an older space with very little love in the remodel. menu was written in a pompous and overfamiliar style.
boring, pretentious, tacky and a little suspicious. gives me the same ripped off, violated feeling as going to Sage, momo, or bushwina.
Super mediocre. There are much better spots, even on graham ave. Get to concord hill or osakana, Okonomi is just down the street on Ainslie where there’s plenty of love in the offerings.

I had the $45 set but I think the real value is in getting the $25 option as I didn't find the hand rolls or the sashimi that compelling. The highlights of the meal are the "nigiri" and the broth; the sushi is decent but it leaves you ultimately wondering whether you'd rather not eat different types of fish rather than eat the same one seasoned...
Read moreReally phenomenal and high-quality sushi - they source the seafood themselves, combined with their rich experience and unique, minimal style.
The menu is creative (you choose only the portion, so kinda Omakase style). The blue-cheese sushi was mind blowing - that was my favorite that we ordered a special second portion just with that.
The restaurant is small and minimal; it's really cute and has a peaceful vibe.
If you have been to Okonomi or bought fish from Osakana, you might expected a sushi restaurant to come next from the owner. This place was begging to exist, now it's...
