Sushi Sky

Sushi Sky
478 Yonge St

Sunday was a nicer, sunnier day than the gray dullness of Saturday, so I made sure to venture out of the house to get my weekly dose of vitamin D. Since I was out, I might as well pop by the office to grab an external HD, and a book. Since I was already getting computer gear, I do need a new wifi adapter for my HTPC. Since I’m on Yonge St. I should stop and get some lunch. Since I’m getting lunch, why not sushi? See how my brain works? It’s a complicated thought process where I talk myself into spending more money. Of course, if you buy that you’ll have to ignore the fact that I left the house with my DSLR.

The two places I meant to check out were both closed, so I just started wandering up Yonge. If there’s anything that Sushipalooza has taught me, it’s that there is plenty of sushi in this area. I chose Sushi Sky on the basis that I saw it first. I almost kinda wish I didn’t. Allow me to elaborate.

First off, the food was good. No major complaints there, but there was one waiter for the entire place, and it appeared to be busier than they anticipated. In a nutshell, service sucked. The guy was in a pissy mood, and people were waiting to be seated. Having said that, I was able to get my order in fairly easily and I opted for one of my favorites, Salmon Pizza at $6.99 and what they refer to as a “Dragon C” but we would know it as a Green Dragon for $9.99. What can I say? I knew I needed some extra “good” fat in my diet.

The Salmon pizza was excellent. Nice large slices of salmon, and just enough mayo. There was a bit too much of the Teryaki (or is it Oyster? I should find out.) sauce on it though, some of the pieces did fall apart just a little bit. This isn’t that much of a problem when you love it as much as I do and you’re shoveling it back.  The Green Dragon was a minor disappointment as well, as there was a large ratio of Rice to everything else. It was tasty rice, but for $10 I expect a bit more cucumber or avocado to fill it out, not rice.

The icing on the cake after the slow service was the fact that I sometimes cross my legs while I eat and read at the same time. My left knee touched the underside of the table for a few minutes. When it came away it had a nice pre-chewed piece of gum on it. A quick manual touch scan showed it had neighbors. Ew.

Food wasn’t bad, but it’s too close to Sushi Tower or a dozen other places to go back.
