> [@newman](#): > > Tokyo Shanghai Bistro on Elmwood was really good. Chinese/Japanese fusion. My avocado roll was good, but I heard rave reviews about the other rolls. I also got curry tofu which was fucking awesome. Their spicy tuna roll is supposed to be the most authentic as well as the best in the area according to buffalochow. ---

If you think Buffalo’s offerings are great then I’m sorry you haven’t had good suhsi yet. Toronto is the closest thing for some really good sushi and if anyone is ever interested in making a trip for some let me know I know some good places. > > With that said, my favorite is still Kuni thus far. Closest thing to traditional sushi. Quality is good, service is good, the wait sucks but that’s what you get for being the best. And for those that have not had the Gintara, it’s the only place in town that offers it. This is a traditional japanese dish that is probably my favorite thing to get when I go for sushi. It’s cooked fish BTW. I agreed with Don! I would never go to Wasabi or Fuji Grille for sushi. They are just regular chinese that see Sushi as an opportunity for making money. They don’t use fresh fishes for their sushi, and that’s why their prices are so cheap. I know where they get their fishes from 🙂 Back in the day, O’s(when O’s was on Main street) and Kunis are the 2 best sushi place you can go to. Now a day, I would go to Taki for sushi. It’s right over the border next to the casino. Really…people need to go to big cities that have really good sushi and then compared them to Buffalo’s sushi. ---

I normally have trouble finishing 3 rolls for lunch, whats great is its not a “omg i just at a large pizza and have tons of grease in me” type full, its a very light full feeling. ---

Yeah, I’m not into dropping that much cash on a meal and ending up filling up on rice. Did it twice and just felt unfulfilled, like I just had an appetizer and I was ready for a nice steak. Guess I’m limited to buffet fare. ---

i like a bowl of miso, and a bowl of sushi rice on the side and a good sized roll with the sushi makes it go a little father. ---

The quality was great. The fusion offerings were interesting but all in all left me wanting more traditional offerings with the quality ingredients. Sea Bars spicy tuna roll was the best and largest I have ever had, it was also $10. Well worth it though. Looks like I’m going to go over the boarder to try Taki. ---

So Friday I took Jay and Beth Disalvo to Seabar. Easily one of the best sushi experiences i’ve ever had. We were brave enough to try the uni, it was amazing. Had some toro tuna, was one of the best pieces of fish ive ever had. The owner actually came over near the end of dinner and gave us a plate of Engawa. it’s apparently rare enough that they dont sell it, but only serve it to “people who really seem to enjoy food”. AKA, people that have spent a good amount already. Simply an amazing piece of fish. This is definitely my favorite spot in Buffalo. ---

Sushi on Bloor in Toronto is ridiculous. You can stuff your face with more sushi than you can imagine for under $30 USD. The internet has some rumors about cleanliness issues and crap, but I’ve eaten there almost a dozen times, and the fish has always been very fresh, and I’ve never gotten sick. ---
