N.K. Sushi

N.K. Sushi
376 Eglinton Ave W

Ah, a Saturday that promises rain. What better way to spend the lunch hour than taking your time eating a nice sushi lunch and reading a book? Well, I couldn’t think of one, so I put on my shoes and headed toward Eglinton. I know there’s a few places I haven’t visited yet, including one that was still under construction…

But under construction no more! Nice interior, and a pretty darn interesting menu. Not just the usual maki, but a fair bit Japanese fare. Wow, what a bad sentence. The first thing that jumped out at me was a Lobster Tempura Roll ($7.98). While it was a little anemic when it came to contents, the lobster was very fresh. We’re talking the tempura hadn’t even had time to cool yet, it was deliciously warm. Deliciously tasting too. Lobster is one of the few foods I know for darn certain when it’s prepared well or not. This lobster was really quite good. Far better than I expected. Next up was the ubiquitous Salmon Pizza ($7.98). This was also very well done, the rice patty was fried just a bit more than “usual” which was nice, and the generous amount of spicy mayo, tempura flakes, salmon, and avocado was just right. There really isn’t an way to make it “wrong” (unless you put cheese on it!) but this was probably in the top 5-10 for me.

It also gave me a chance to try out the camera in my new iPhone 4, so if the snaps aren’t up to the usual quality, there you go. But I quite like N.K. I can definitely state that I’ll be back here for lunch!
