Sushi Marche

Reviewed by Toronto LifeA few shelves of Japanese groceries and sushi supplies line one wall of this modest takeout joint on Queen East. But with John Lee—Leslie­ville’s very own Iron Chef (he trained under Masaharu Morimoto in Philadelphia)—at the counter, there’s no point merely buying supplies. Lee’s sushi shows considerable flair: purple orchid blooms, perhaps, or razor-thin citrus wedges and edible shiso leaves all add appetizing allure to his interesting bites. Simple California rolls get bitter crunch from plumes of romaine; one version alternates layers of smoked salmon and nori for a tiger-like presentation. Made-to-order means lengthy waits on weekends; call ahead.
