A good sushi restaurant close to The Docks?

I know a lot of you on here are Sushi fans, so could someone tell me a good Sushi restaurant relatively close (obviously there's nothing that close) to The Docks?

Posted by rabbitjoker on Nov-05-2004 18:43:

there is nothing close to the docks.

I know there's nothing close to The Docks. That's why I said "relatively " close.

Let me rephrase the question then, "what is the closest sushi restaurant to The Docks?

Kabuki on King (east of Yonge, west of Church) is where I go once a week for lunch. Uber good - great ambience.

Ichiban is on Wellington @ Church Street (west of the Pizza Pizza). Cheaper than Kabuki - more sushibar style.

thats one of the funny things about working there . in winter late at night doing maintenance when the club is closed you feel like you are on another planet and yet the city is right there across the lake.

But its so true , nothing is close

Nami, 55 Adelaide St. East

Very nice Japanese restaurant, sit on floor style seating in some areas, but a bit pricier.

Nami is nice, the same price as Kabuki, but not as good IMO.

Nami has been around for years.

there is a place.. i forrget the name- asahi maybe, on carlton near parliament.. it's pretty good as fair as cheap sushi goes...

for more $$$ sushi, right across from the broadview sub station (broadview and danforth) is Lily.. great sushi there..

Posted by tatgirl on Nov-06-2004 16:01:

ASahi is ok, but I prefer Daily Sushi on Carlton, at Yonge (right next to movie theatre).

Ichaban had good Dragon Rolls. Their California Rolls did not weren't too good. My sushi connoisseur friends from the states were impressed.

ps. Sake fucks you right up!!

I'll have to hit Ichiban up more often then... Save me a couple bills and still get good fish.

Glad it worked out.

Sushi Island still takes the cake though (although I haven't tried many places yet).

No thanks. I only go for Sushi when I'm forced into it. Don't really like it all that much.

I hit up Ichiban on Wellsley for dinner tonight (Wednesday) and it was great. $25 tax/tip inc. got me way too much food and it was all great quality. nice.

I saw another Sushi place in the area called "Ginga Sushi" on Colborne Street (runs east/west between Wellsley and King, between Church and Victoria). I've not been to Ginga - but will try it and let you know.
