    This is still my go to restaurant. They have expanded into the Alara Restaurant location next door in the same plaza at Sheppard Ave. East and Brian Drive.

      I still like this restaurant. It is close to me and therefore convenient. It is not the Katsura at… Read more »

    When we stepped up to the door and saw the plastic sushi plates in the window, Katie Z and I knew we were in for something truly unique.

    (Read: sarcasm)

    The ambience: Dime-a-dozen, been there, done that. This isn't a "come for the atmosphere" restaurant, it's a "come for the cheap lunch specials" typa spot.
    The service: Decent. Smiles. Timely tea refills.
    The food: Not an attraction. The rice was quite chewy and tasted old. Otherwise you can't really mess up an avocado or yam tempura roll; they were supermarket satisfactory. Can't speak for the fish. The edamame was way over salted.

    On the plus side, this little joint was close to Don Mills subway station (a 4 minute drive). AND it was crazy cheap - 2.50 for each of my rolls and 2.99 for the edamame. That I can get behind.

    Sashimi House has lunch special starting at $5.99 which is not bad.

    Quality for the fish is quite good... as my lunch specials though does not come with any salad or miso soup..

    Spicy Salmon Roll/Salmon/Tuna ($5.99)
    - 6 pieces of Spicy Salmon roll has quite a bit of salmon and Tempura bites
    - Salmon and Tuna are both standard
    - Rice has a good balance of vinegar, nice and bouncy chew...

    For this price point when compare what I get from T&T supermarket, this is much better..

    Service wise.. is cold and efficient... The waitress are Cantonese speaking. Most people here for lunch are working in the area and the restaurant was half filled.

    Sashimi house is not bad as a cheap quick sushi fix but would not be the one that I will bring or recommend my friend if they want really good Japanese food!

    They accepts Visa and Mastercard.

    My friend told me that this place was great for lunch.  The combos are "totally worth it."  My other friend was craving for sushi, so we decided to go to this restaurant since a) I've never tried it; b) we were in the area; and c) my friend recommended it.

    So we went.

    Granted, the combos were really really cheap and worth it. However, we weren't feeling bento boxes.  We wanted sushi.  There were some different kinds of sushi combos.  I ordered House B, and my friend had House D.  The House B combo included assorted sushi (including salmon, shrimp, and fake crab), a california roll (6 pcs), spicy salmon roll (6 pcs), and a crispy avocado hand roll.  This combo also included miso soup, salad, shrimp tempura (and some vegetable tempura), and ice cream.  My friend's House D combo had this weird grilled chicken sushi maki; however, she said it was okay.

    So understandably, it's really cheap and worth it for lunch.  Cost me about $20 for alllll that.  It was quite filling.

    However, the sushi quality wasn't the greatest.  I was saying to my friend that I could have made the sushi myself!

    Decent. Not the best but relatively inexpensive for Japanese. Lunch is cheap

    I love the maki rolls here, especially the spicy salmon. They also have pretty good house combos if you're looking for a great bang for your buck.
