The massive bar and heated patio take centre stage at this steadfastly popular Bay Street hangout. Three semi-private alcoves in the back provide some reprieve from the meat market vibe, though the constant clacking of stilettos on slate floors is distracting. The dauntingly long menu of sushi and Japanese small plates should be pared down to allow the kitchen to focus more on quality. Skewers of crisp, pancetta-wrapped eel are a superb spin on surf and turf; a fiery ponzu dip cuts through the fatty flesh. For raw fish, it’s hard to beat a terrific ceviche of tuna, salmon, mackerel and shrimp barely cured in miso, sake and lime. Miso-marinated pork tenderloin is pink and juicy, though it has the undeniable gaminess of cheap pork. An excellent selection of wines by the glass. Mains $16–$32.
