Location: 467 Queen St. W, Toronto It seems Queen street is constantly reinventing itself…new restaurants…new condos….new yoga studios. There are the staples: Gandhi’s, New York Sub, Subway and then the newbies: Leslieville Cheese Market and the maybe not so new anymore, Aji Sai Japanese restaurant. These were the sorts of dishes we shared around… I’ve … Continue reading
Location: 262 Queens Quay West, Toronto www.ichibansushi.com When we lived in the city, one of the closest sushi restaurants to us was Ichiban Sushi; we were constantly ordering in from there (or dining in). For reliably standard sushi, Ichiban doesn’t go wrong.
