Torch Pressed Sushi - North York

Scored this amazing bento at just 19 CAD (tax included). Today's special features mouthwatering thick-cut salmon drizzled with unagi sauce. Accompanied by butterfish, our signature spicy sauce, fried shrimp, surimi, and tobiko. A delectable feast that won't disappoint! FoodieDelights

Got the tasting box for takeout, and it was delicious. Each of the pressed sushi was full of flavor and well constructed. The toro handroll and lobster handroll were a nice addition to the box and I appreciated their use of a divider between the rice and seaweed to keep the latter crispy.

This was my second time visiting this location and most likely i would not go back. The service is great. The staff there who took my order and handed it off to be was great. However my torched pressed sushi did not taste right, i couldnt even hold the rice with my chopsticks as they were breaking into pieces, the flavours of the sushi were a little off and overall I told myself I wouldn’t go back. It’s sad as this place was the first place that popped off in my head when I thought about torched pressed sushi. The quality is not same as before. The tasting box I got did not have a little container to pour out the soy sauce, so that was a little struggle, there were literally 5 slices of ginger which is not enough either.

Following social media highly recommendation, here I came. Tried the sushi tasting box, torch press sushi are top-notch, anything you can say is perfect, the presence, flavor, ingredients freshness are just fabulous. But the roll sushi is quite a bit greasy inside with the ingredients I can’t say. Luckily there are two roll sushi separately. Especially love the packaging of roll sushi, read the instructions and you’ll finally make a roll with crispy nori/seaweed. To be honest, a crispy nori really matters for a sushi. We also ordered the fried chicken curry rice and tempura curry rice. Amount of rice is too much small for an adult, curry and rice they are equally the same in volume. And they don’t provide rice refilling, which I can’t agree with. Anyway, food is great from various aspects.

I just want to say a special thanks to the staff for taking my last minute order. This place serves delicious food. I see people complain about the price, but to me, the quality matches the price. Though there are 2 things I would change… I’d suggest using a higher quality corn, and less sodium in the lobster so the lobster flavour can shine through. Oh, and the yuzu mojito made me smile so much! It was incredibly refreshing.Definitely worth noting is the fact that this place is NOT wheelchair friendly. There are 2 doors to get inside, and only the outside door has a button to open the door, the other door only opens manually. Also, there are 2 shallow steps to get up to the counter to place and collect your order.Wheelchair accessibility: I was able to maneuver the doors and steps with my walker, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to go into the store with a wheelchair or scooter
