Aki Da Japanese Seafood House - Orgasm in Roll Form on Queen St. E. and Woodbine Ave
If you've never been to Queen St. E, you're missing out. The area known as the Beaches is a wonderful area of Toronto. Yes, there is an actual beach. No, you can't swim in it. Let's not get carried away, Lake Ontario is still a noxious cesspool. In fact, the only negative thing I have to say about this neighborhood has already been said (see the article on the GOOF).
In the Beaches, everyone has a dog and nothing bad ever happens.
Seriously.
No its not Fantasyland, its the Beaches and its awesome. Now I posit the theory that the REASON nothing bad ever happens here is because the sushi is supplied by this place. Aki Da. Yes, it IS that good.
If you're up for some entertainment, go for the teppanyaki. For the uninitiated, teppanyaki is an Asian tradition where the chef grills the food in front of you. There is usually a fire show involved, and the chef will tell jokes and perform various stunts.
If you get an inexpensive teppanyaki, the chef's talent will reflect it. Go big or go home and get the owner out. He's much funnier and does bigger stunts.
Now as for the sushi itself, I recommend the spicy salmon roll and the CN Tower roll. They're delightful.
extra points: order a bubble tea with a shot of liquor in it. its delicious. no it's not really on their menu. but its still awesome.
Final Score:
Go here its awesome. They get my highest honor for Japanese food, the sushi served on the body of a beautiful woman.
Which is also about the only way this place could improve.
I'm to lazy for this photoshop. so just imagine it this time.
