Omi Japanese Restaurant

He's always got the best fish and creative work for non-traditional sushi. // NOTE: Has since changed hands and John Lee will be reopening in Cabbagetown Summer 2008 sometime...

CLOSED! such disappointment. my previous place let me down and after a week of bad sushi at various places around the city, omi was a bright light. fresh beautiful flavours not muddled with extra fuss or watered down into a state of blandness. excellent selection of sake and amazing rice (wonderful sweet and sour flavour). his brown sugar cured salmon is to die for.

Fresh. Experience their omakase menu, it'll worth your while.

sooooo good! And really unusual things, like salmon with a dollop of kiwi salsa, as well as the more traditional.

John puts this special roasted garlic drizzle on the tuna nigiri, the fish is SO fresh and the delights just keep coming until you;re stuffed
