Ton Ton Sushi took over from another Korean run sushi restaurant, Sushi Aria. You’ll find them next door to Copa Cafe.
Hours. Open everyday.
We dropped in on a Friday evening (around 7:30pm). Tons of seats and booths but try and get a seat away from the front. So cold every time someone opened up the door. Service was fairly standard.
The menu is massive with sushi and Korean options. One of those menus where they offer everything imaginable. No specializing here. Click here to see the menu (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11).
Asahi ($17.95 pitcher)
Good enough to share between three. It’s been awhile since I’ve had Asahi and I remember why…
Original sushi pizza ($7.95)
Deep fried rice with sashimi. We found this a bit gimmicky and didn’t love the base. The rice was way too dense.
Tuna toro sashimi ($14.95 for 6)
Good sized pieces and quality was better than we expected. This was my favourite of the night.
Would get this again.
Tamago nigiri ($1.75)
They added a weird dollop of mayo which was unnecessary. Tamago was decent but nothing special.
Saba oshi sushi ($11.95) and hamachi oshi sushi ($11.95)
We’re always game for oshi so we decided to try two of their offerings.
A touch of saltiness but nicely seared.
This was the better of the two oshi’s that we tried. The hamachi was excellent and the tamago underneath was a pleasant surprise (but worked wonderfully).
Scallop tataki roll ($11.95) and negihama roll ($4.50)
Double prawn, cucumber, seared chopped scallop, tobiko, ponzu sauce and green onion. Roll was okay.
The hamachi was good but the rolls were too big.
Beef donburi ($10.95)
Beef over rice, veggies and egg. This was bland. Rice was mushy. Don’t get it.
The sushi was better than expected but TTS’s food doesn’t stand out.
