Gonoe

I went to Gonoe Sushi at least 200 times, so it's about time to write about it :) In my opinion, Gonoe is one of the best sushi restaurants in Toronto in terms of price/quality ratio. Of course there are other high-end sushi restaurants but then again I think it's pretty hard to beat Gonoe's price without sacrificing on quality.

I usually order sushi & sashimi a la carte, rolls and sometimes a salad and tempura. I don't remember once being there and not liking everything I've ordered. Everything is so fresh and tasty, no wonder I still go there almost weekly, even now, after more than 5 years from my first visit.

Usually they bring the Miso soup by default, with larger orders, a common practice in sushi bars, otherwise. There is nothing elaborated about the Miso soup but there are so many sushi restaurants in Toronto that manage to screw it up. Well, I don't know how these guys do it, but that soup tastes so good!

Uni, Unagi, Toro, Sake, Ikura, Amaebi, Tai are allways on my plate. If you order Toro, ask for blue fin tuna, they might have it and you gotta love it, if you like sashimi. If you go for salmon sashimi ask for a fattier piece. Sometimes you can get grilled Hamachi neck. That piece is so tasty you need more fingers to lick when you're done :) Just ask for it. It's not on the menu, although they are going to change the menu soon and they may add it.

If you like seaweed, try their salad, it's good. The soft-shell crab, or as my little one calls it "social crab" is very good as well. All the rolls are well done and tasty, pick whatever blinks at you :) Las Vegas, a roll with cream cheese is pretty good and you won't find a lot of places out there serving cream cheese based rolls. Classic rolls like ultra dragon, flying dragon or spider are just beautiful. The special roll is interesting as well.

I recommend this place wholeheartedly. If you feel like sushi and are around the Don Mills & York Mills area, then go for it!
