Kiiro Miya Sushi House
257 Eglinton Ave W
Every once and a while I discover a gem. The reason that I really started doing this blog, well, other than a combination of hunger and boredom. Last week my wife and I went for a walk along Eglinton West, as she’s still fairly unfamiliar with the neighborhood. We wound up venturing past Avenue Road, and at that point I started getting hungry. Hungry enough to start looking for some Sushi take away.
I do recall there being a different establishment at this address a while ago, and Google street view tells me it was called Sasaya sushi. No idea if it’s just a re-dressing or a completely new place. But we went in and started peeking at the menu. Now, Melanie isn’t a sushi fan so I was on my own, but I liked the pricing and the fact that they gave us a drink as we sat at the bar and watched the prep and perused the menu. I grabbed Spicy Tuna for $6.95 and a Tiger Roll for $8.95.
When we got home I was pleasantly surprised to see the hand written note. While the “Miso Soup” was added in, even a form letter when hand written shows a higher level of effort in trying to obtain repeat business. While you might not be swayed by that, you will be by the food. the Spicy Tuna was just the way I like it, nice portions of Tuna, and not drowned by mayo or tempura. Could have been a bit spicier, but still very good. The Tiger roll was a cucumber/avocado roll topped with Ebi, sweet shrimp. Very, very good. Like a fancier nigiri sushi only without the wasabi.
While it’s a bit far for a walk and take out, it’s definitely high on my list for a dining out place. Colour me impressed, and Kiiro Miya recommended.
