Sushi Delight

Sushi Delight
461 Danforth Ave

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Well, thats mostly because I’ve spent so much time this summer either looking for a job, or indulging my biggest addiction. Yup, cycling has over taken sushi thanks to all the carbon fiber and a super fast gruppo. But sometimes, just sometimes they intersect.

One of my fellow co-riders with TBN, the Toronto Bicycling Network is also a reader of this blog it turns out, so this past saturday after the usual group ride we headed off to his neck of the woods to find sushi instead of the typical Tim Hortons.

Dave lives around Danforth and Broadview, and has apparently been visiting Sushi Delight for years. Since I’ll visit any old place, having lunch at a restaurant that has been given a ringing endorsement is a welcome treat. Dvae had a nice looking bento that I wish I had taken a picture of, and I must admit I was eying his Ebi Nigiri.

Personally I decided on some standards, as the prices for the a-la carte sushi were quite good. Naturally I opted for the Salmon Pizza ($7.95), an Avocado monomaki ($3.50) and the ubiquitous Spicy Tuna at $4.95. We’ll dispense with any sort of review on the monomaki, you’ve gotta be pretty incompetent to mess that up, and this roll certainly wasn’t messed up. The spicy tuna was a bit different. I’ve never had spicy tuna that also included cucumber and avocado. It didn’t necessarily detract from anything, but I don’t really think it added anything either. Still, the tuna was generously proportioned and I made it disappear rather quickly.

Last up was the Salmon Pizza. I can honestly say at this point that I am a connoisseur of Salmon Pizza. What a strange thing to be an expert on. Overall the pizza was excellent, but can you complain that there was just  a bit too much salmon? I like an nice equal balance of rice patty and fish. The only real complaint I can muster is that there was just a little too much onion. It did somewhat overpower the other flavours.

Service was quick, and the free miso actually contained nice chunks of tofu. There’s another place 2 doors down that I’d like to try, but barring that I’d certainly go back to Sushi Delight!
