For the price, I could've gone to an all you can eat sushi restaurant and it probably would have been better.The presentation was nice (sushi boat), and they included complimentary tea and miso soup, which was good.If that was all, I probably would have left an okay review. However, I definitely can't recommend this restaurant after the way the guy treated us! I paid with credit card (~$50) with the intention of paying the tip in cash. Immediately after I handed back the card reader to the employee, he yelled at me for not including a tip. Taken aback, I handed him $5 and he said, "Don't forget next time." in a very annoyed tone. Absolutely inappropriate for him to have that sort of audacity. A tip is to encourage good service, and it's not a right. I do not recommend this restaurant for that reason.

It was not expensive and they did give a good quantity so it falls under you get what you pay for. There are many better budget sushi restaurants on Queen near Spadina which I would recommend going to. It does have a local type vibe and there were lots of regulars coming and going so I think that is what keeps it going.

The sushi was outstanding, especially the Sunlight Roll with sweet potato inside and mango on top. It was unexpectedly delicious.
