Jake, I live in Toronto I will say that I was at least moderately impressed with the sashimi at Hiro at Christmas time... -marc

I've had the soba at Hiro and was impressed by the detail but not the taste. However, I've also had the sashimi there and it was amongst the best I've ever had -- maybe I was lucky? My daughter (who's 9) was very impressed by the place Ema tei is different. It feels, in every way, mnore like a traditional Japanese restaurant. I was taken there by a Japanese girlfriend who told me it was The uni was exceptional. Other dishes seem to vary, but overall it's good value. I'm not trying to be rude, but I have to ask: why are you looking for a good Japanese restaurant in Toronto? You will never find a really good one in a place that's land-locked. If you can possibly afford (save you restaurant money!), go to Japan....or at least somewhere on the Pacific. -marc

I can't give you a recipe or a technique, but I can tell you that Cap'n Crunch encrusted chicken fingers (which I had in Edmonton something like a decade ago) were the best I've ever had. I'm sure you can Google more than a few recipes... -marc
