Izakaya Sushi

Izakaya Sushi
294 College St.

A couple of weeks ago I found myself in the College and Spadina area having bought some computer parts and was in desperate need of some lunch. I figured I could kill two birds with one stone and find a sushi restaurant that I hadn’t reviewed and fill my belly as well as the content for this site!

But until very recently, I have been looking for work and at the time I was very definitely on a budget. Luckily Izakaya had a great lunch special where you could pick any 2 rolls and get soup and salad for $6.95. Heck, I got my sushi far cheaper than I could get McDonalds! Plus it came with some sort of fried rice noodle snack that were savoury and resembled uncooked  spaghetti, only far tastier.

I opted for Spicy Tuna and a “Crab Tempura” roll. The crab tempura may have simply been tempura fried crab stick, but it was surprisingly good. Not too much and not too little of anything. Though I think I would have added a bit of cucumber for a bit more crunch. The Spicy Tuna was just about right, and while it could have used just a little bit more “spicy” there was a pretty good amount of tuna in there considering how little I paid for it.

For $6.95 I think I got about the best value of any of my sushi meals so far. I would definitely reccomend Izakaya for a lunch destination. The food was superbly priced and the quality was excellent. Two thumbs up!
