Apparently Bambi’s mother said “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Well, she’s a cartoon deer, so I’m not listening to her.

I am going to make it short and sweet though. Stay the hell away from Asakusa on King St. W. The sushi is terrible. How terrible is it? It’s barely better than the stuff I attempted to make at home a few months ago. Mine was a disaster because I didn’t get the rice right. These guys are the same. The rice was a glutinous mess that was best used as wallpaper paste. Complete mush. I pinched a bit off to be sure, and yup, all you could taste was the overpowering flavour of rice vinegar.

I ordered two 6 piece rolls, and I think I ate 4 pieces in total. Laura’s veggie maki set was basically untouched as well. We both strafed the place.

Avoid. Even at $2 a roll (and they were more expensive than that) it would have been too much.
