Sushi on Bloor Shut Down

Sushi Delight on the Danforth is better anyway.

Cheap sushi? That's taking your life in your hands. You go out for cheap foie gras too? Sushi's a cuisine that rather depends on a luxury item in Toronto: fresh fish 1500km from any ocean. Eat something else for cheap; spend money on sushi or avoid it.

My, my...someone has a horribly skewed perception of how the internet works. Try not to project your flawed perceptions of its upon the rest of us, okay?

I kind of agreee with the "don't go for the cheap sushi"...it's not really all that different from say, a burger...if you pay, normally, a few dollars for a real one..and then you go to McD's and get one for 39 cents...and then complain that it may not even be real meat...
If you are in a restaurant where the soda is the most expensive item...walk away: - )
I don't mind paying more for sushi for the peace of mind that the chef knows what he/she is doing.

I had reservations for ten on Friday and no one called to cancel. Given it's sushi on bloor, I wasn't too surprised. I was surprised when someone arrived to pick up take out and were let into the establishment to pick up their food.

Gross.

Date Inspected: March 18, 2009
This establishment was inspected by Toronto Public Health in accordance with the Ontario Food Premises Regulation, and passed the inspection.

You can "in Theroy" have a fast food style sushi places that has cheap prices as long as turn over is huge "which it is". I wonder how what infractions shut this place down.

Toronmto Public always sends out "special Inspectors" for these high profile calls. Notice it is always the goodlooking, young Indian and White guys who pose for the camera. I don't think they are actual inspectors!!!!!!!!

just opened up again.

Second on Rikishi, it is excellent.

Hey, Jess - you're bang on Big Suchi - they do have high quality and fresh stuff. (Service can be a bit slow but the food is worth it!)

Laura - if you think Sushi on Bloor is a high profile case...really, it ain't Rain or Canoe....

Yes it was passed 3 days after it was shut down..
That happens all the time.

I think she calls it "high-profile" because clearly people care enough about this place to crawl out of the woodwork when it comes up and find the time to snit about complete strangers' offensive culinary tastes.

(Disclosure: I like ordering bento boxes! String me up.)

I have to agree with all the smart sushi lovers... cheap sushi is not authentic sushi! Sushi-chefs train for years pefecting their art, it's not assembly line cuisine. I work at a high quality japanese restaurant in London, and mostly well-off people eat here because it is expensive and soooo worth it.

College students have to eat all-u-can-eat, cause they can't afford the high quality stuff, nor do they know the difference. In Japan, they don't even eat sushi often...they eat it on special occasions because it's expensive and "special", not like an East-side Marios.

People who eat cheap sushi, just don't know the difference quality makes and therefore can't appreciate it when they actually fork out the dough for it. It's meant to be a specialty... not a gluttonous north-american buffet-style hogfest and something you can afford to eat every other day.

@JC - the green box is in the section of those signs that says "result of previous inspection"

@jamesmallon - where do you get the idea that there's fresh fish involved? Even at the high end in Japan, most of the fish has been frozen. In NYC you can pay 300 bucks at Masa or Nobu for a high end Sushi meal and you're probably getting frozen fish since it's technically illegal to serve never-frozen raw fish in the US.

most overrated restaurant ever.

this is the proof.

You sound pretty pleased with yourself. People do, in fact, eat sushi all the time in Japan. Are you stuck in SW Ontario making your ridiculous judgments, or the UK, where base-pricing for everything is absurd? Do you consider French manicures and spray tans a mark of "luxury" and "class"?

Yes, Nir, you are indeed lucky! You've been blessed with the gifts of being naive and oblivious.

I look forward to the day when I can splurge on a visit to Sushi Kaji (it's expensive and a little too far for me) but in the meantime, I will happily gorge myself at "cheap" sushi establishments. Screw the haters!

I'm a fan of Nama Sushi in the St. Clair West area. Excellent quality, and very affordable. I find Korean-owned places (like Nama) are closer in authenticity to Japanese-run sushi restaurants, but the prices are inexpensive.

May this be a lesson to those food establishments that don't prioritize cleanliness. We actually have to be vigilant about it because our health is at risk, right?

I like and appreciate the value of gourmet cooking but that doesn't take away from my love of good, cheap sushi (or the occasional chicken wing for that matter, or Wonderbread with peanut butter and jelly). Sushi Island on College Street is way better than Sushi on Bloor and it's all you can eat! Try the Jade Island roll. It's got grapes in it. Yum!

i call and order fish for the day the fish conpany will ask if you like to get some old fish for 10 to 20% off to do or not I will get it but I will never eat it that is how the all you can eat sushi place get there fish

i don't care about the class war between the places where i eat my sushi but i do care about the proper handling of the food so i don't get sick from it ... at any price food should be safe or it should be allowed to be served ... if the place was just closed it means that there were some very serious infractions ... but no one can afford to stay closed especially in the food business so they snapped to it and fixed the mistakes but it doesn't mean they won't repeat the old mistakes once the attention of this subject has moved onto another establishment. be safe, eat elsewhere ... there has got to be more than cost involved in choosing a place to eat.

HATERS: Cmon.. with the amount of business SOB does, food doesn't even get a chance to go bad there. I'd rather the food be fresh, than "stored at the proper temperature" for 2 weeks. Think about it, and you've done it before, You know that expired carton of milk in your fridge for days aint getting any fresher!

SUSHI-SNOBS: Go to hell...and take your money there.

I think its a Maki Mile Conspiracy...

I have to agree with Nir here. . . there are a lot of uppity sushi snobs posting comments here. I've been to Japan, had sushi there. . .it was delicious! Much better than here (especially the tuna). But, you know what? I don't care!! I still love to eat at Sushi on Bloor (and will continue to do so) as well as the all-you-can-eat sushi joints, because I'm not a pretentious snob who insists on eating only the highest quality, most expensive food because it gives me that sense of being part of the social elite. You people really need to get over yourselves. And, in regards to the health and safety allegations, I've been eating cheap sushi fairly regularly for 10 years now, and not once have I gotten sick from it. Interestingly, I once did get sick from eating ribs at a pricey steakhouse. Go figure!

After reading comments posted a day or two ago, I was annoyed to see a lot snobs posting comments putting down those who choose to eat at sushi restaurants that fit their budget. I am glad Nir and Sushi eater have spoken up. You snobs need to realize that SOB is in the annex and a lot students eat there, and I don't know about you but living a student life on a student budget is not easy. So calm down before putting down others and judging their choices and think outside of your snobby little worlds.

I love the discussion. Just to throw another thoughts out there. I've eaten the entire spectrum of sushi in Toronto from Kaji/Hiro to Sushi on Bloor to all-you-can-eat. In the end, if the food tastes great and is of good value, it is worth going to the restaurant. If you don't like it, you can dine somewhere else. Sushi on Bloor produces great tasting sushi at a very good price. That strip of Annex buildings is old and a place that is busy will often relax on certain food safety regulations, i.e. temperature/utensils/washroom care. Few places, even some of the high end restaurants would pass on all these criteria. Looks like they were getting a bit complacent and now that they've gotten a bit of a wake-up call, sushi on bloor will be even better. As long as I enjoy the food, no one is going to tell me they know better based on their taste buds and judgements.

@saratonin: Have you seen Ho Su on Queen's inspection records?

Sushi on Bloor is great! I was just there again tonight, and it's up and running like new. Lots of patronage too. :)

I personally have nothing against cheap sushi place. I enjoy cheap place like sushi on bloor as well as more expensive ones like Japango. It really depends on what kind of food ur gonna eat there.. if you're all for dishes with sashimi (raw fish) yea go for the more expensive ones. but if you're going for tempura or teriyaki something or spider roll... i think SOB or other cheap sushi place can be great places to go too. Mind you California roll, whatever Dragon rolls are NOT authetic anyways and they're all North-Americanized. Even in Japan they have bargain 100 yen sushi places as well as high-class $$$ sushi restaurants i been to either, here or overseas. and i dont' see what's wrong with going to a cheap-er place. For those of you like jamesmallon who hate cheap sushi places or are trying to feel high class, i must say that it's only ppl's personal preference. You think you can really get "GOOD" sushi here? I don't think so. 1500km away? r u kidding me? why don't you fly to Tsukiji and get some REAL sushi that's made from freshly caught fish within kilometers from where they get ashore? if you insist "Spend money or avoid it" Price is not the most important things, the food is. As long as you enjoy it (and of course dont get sick from it) the purpose of eating is fulfilled. Hopefully SOB will pay attention to their food processing and re-open soon

Interesting restaurant for people who want cheap food without exceptional quality.
