Sushi on the Move

Toko Sushi Bar is on Yonge Street just north of Wellesley. My co-worker and I were walking back to our Bloor Street office and looking for somewhere new to eat when we spied Toko. It was only 11:45am but we were ready for lunch. They were open and waiting for customers, so we grabbed two seats at the bar and began to take serve ourselves from the rotating sushi bar.
I used to go to places like this in NYC, and my friend was excited to try it, because it reminded her of NYC as well, and we weren't disappointed. The food was fresh and delicious. Some of the food you have to special order, as it needs to be made fresh, but those were delivered very quickly. Some favorites? The gyoza was crispy and delicious. I also liked the spicy tuna roll, which had a lot of spice to it and was quite fresh.
It really is fun to eat and watch all the food choices roll by. I don't know why it is, but it appeals to the senses to see all of the foods you could possibly eat, even if it's something you don't normally like. There were lots of different kinds of rolls, sushi pieces, and vegetables, including seaweed, salad and edamame. If you don't see what you like, it is quick and easy to order off the menu.
The food was good, the atmosphere fun, and the service polite and prompt. No complaints. We both left full for about $13 each.
