Everyday SUSHI

I used to eat so much sushi when I was about 6 that the doctor told my parents to stop feeding it to me because it was doing strange things to my digestive system. That didn’t last long since I was one bratty kid.

There are the really exceptional but really expensive sushi places. But I’m partial to the ole standbys, where you don’t need reservations but you also don’t have to worry about the final bill or food poisoning.

Toronto’s Ho Su has some creative twists on sushi. I devoured the Rainbow Sushi which was a long row of California rolls (avocado and crab), topped with different coloured sashimi and a sprinkling of roe. Hence the rainbow.

I also got the spicy tuna roll which they roll with some crunchy tempura crisps. Genius. The bonus at Ho Su is it also has a great Korean menu.

Vancouver’s big craze for the last decade has been all you can eat sushi. But I was astonished at Tomokazu’s all you can eat lunch for $9.95. Basically everything you can get at dinner ($21.95) but you stuff your face at noon.

We went to town on sushi, sashimi, tempura, udon noodles, teriyaki, gyoza, baked oysters, miso soup, katsu, zaru soba… then my dad got jello for dessert.
