Months after a kitchen fire shut down New Generation Sushi, this late night sushi spot in the Annex is not only BACK, but busier than ever.
I've been passing by for a while now, always taking a peek inside at the new snazzy decor, but had yet to make a stop, until tonight.
Then the 12:31am munchies lead the way through the door to a comfy booth in the back.
I am, I'll admit, a "Sushi on Bloor" girl... the competition down the street from New Gen has always won me over with cheap bento and free red bean ice cream, but post-midnight, I have to admit that only New Gen knows how to take care of a girl...
Citing a big dinner earlier, I pass on the bento box and opt to share a bunch of appetizer dishes with company: Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura, Almond Age, Asparagus Beef Maki and Yam Tempura.
Almost Age was out (damnit!), but the beef maki more than made up for it. Even tender-er than I remembered. Mmmm. Despite a full house, the tempura was fresh: sizzling and crispy, not scooped out of a pre-made pile.
Total = $15. That's a good night.
Meaty Maki -- Asparagus Beef Maki (asparagus spears wrapped in beef strips and yummy sauce).

this place is simply the best. the best example in the city of how to run a small business. Nobody compares when it comes to price, food quality, hours, service. its all great.
I went to New Generation last night.
Have to say i was impresed with the food..
Spicy tuna roll was great although i was expecting it to be a monster like at Sushi on bloor.
The Sushi and Sashimi was great aswell!
In my opinion Sushi on Bloor stiil provides more bang for your buck.
the quality of the food went down, especially after the fire. nevertheless, great environment and CHEAP lunch
Not bad. I didn't like their salad dressing (not tangy enough, just kind of creamy yucky). And although the Almond Shrimp looks like a tempting alternative to Tempura Shrimp, I wouldn't order it again, because it tasted pretty boring.
Quite overrated and it seems like people in Toronto forget that there are other options for Japanese in the area.
