- OTOpenTable DinerToronto / Ontario •1 review4.0Dined 7 days agoNot our first time here over the years. It has a large menu and we often go with our young kids. Rolls aren’t cheap but also are not expensive. Food is good, some things could be done better. Appetizers were the worst of it. Edamame was fine, hard to screw that up. Chicken yakitori - seemed a tad undercooked and could be brined/marinated a bit more for more flavor. The charred bits on it were very charred though so maybe the flame needs to be lowered a bit and cooked a couple mins longer. The calamari was overcooked - too dry and meat was all brown and withered. Batter was too thick. The miso soup is also hard to screw up and it was fine. We ordered 7 maki rolls to share. Their size was big. Some better than others.More infoMoshi Moshi SushiPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Ballard / Fremont•4.8

We had the best time chatting with our waiter (Joey) and the head chef (Zach) came out to talk to us because we were a huge fan of the blueberry custard pie dessert we had! Everyone was so so nice. The bartenders also love going off menu and creating fun drinks based on your liquor of choice and a flavor - highly recommend this place!More infoSailfishPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Ballard / Fremont•4.4
