  Wako Sushi is a small sushi bar on Yonge Street. The restaurant is not as small as many sushi bars in town, but isn’t the largest you’ll find either. The menu is pretty strictly sushi with some hot items as well. You’ll find lots of rolls and the prices are bit higher for the sushi than I prefer, but the specials are priced pretty well.I had the Parkview Sushi Set ($16.95) with some extra Salmon Sushi (2 pieces for$4) on the side. The Salmon sushi is good. The fish is fresh and the rice was a bit overly warm. The rice isn’t the best, but at least the salmon was good.The Parkview Sushi Set is 10 pieces of Chef’s Nigiri and Chef’s Choice of Maki (also comes with salad and soup). Unfortunately, the chef’s choice was just the basic california roll, which I find bleh. Luckily, the nigiri was good. Fish was nice, but they really loaded up on the wasabi to where it overpowered any subtle flavor of the fish, as opposed to complementing it.Parking can be found out front or on the south end where there is a Green P attached to the building. The service was nice and the place is pretty clean and such. Not sure I’d come back and expect amazing sushi, but if you’re just trying to get a sushi fix taken care of, it’ll do the job. cheatdayeveryday.com

  Atmosphere: Wako is on the smaller side of restaurants and can comfortably seat around 20 diners. The sushi bar is at the back of the dining space and lacquered wood dominate the decor. I was surprised by how worn down the menus were. It was a quiet Wednesday night and we lingered over our meal while catching up. Other tables seemed to have the same idea and the pace of the meal was slow and relaxed.Service: The night we visited, service was sub-par. It was difficult to get a servers attention to refill tea and to get the bill. For a group our size, it wouldve been easier if they had set a teapot at our table. We ordered a large sushi boat and when it arrived, each person had to scramble to make sure their dishes and cutlery was out of the way. On a quiet night with less than half the restaurant occupied, a little extra attention to the customers who are present goes a long way to ensure repeated visits.Food: Enough sushi to happily feed 6 people came to just over $20 per person after tax and tip. This was a pretty good deal given the quantity of items we ordered. To split, we ordered the large Sushi, Sashimi and Roll boat that had over 80 pieces and included full size dragon, spicy tuna and dynamite rolls. On top of that, we tried the spider roll and North York roll, with unagi filling and a grilled mackerel. We were each served a bowl of salad and miso soup to start. The salad dressing was on the watery side but the miso soup was standard.For the boat, I liked the combination of all three types of sushi. The sashimi selection was basic with salmon, tuna, red snapper and white tuna. Each piece was fresh and the presentation was pretty. There was no tamago, squid, surf clam or octopus. Both the dynamite and red dragon rolls were fine but I wouldve liked more heat with my spicy tuna roll. My favourite roll of the night was the North York one. It arrived still hot, had great flavour, lots of sauce and a good rice to filling ratio. The grilled mackerel was a little on the dry side and only ok.The one menu item that I wanted to try was their whole fish sashimi. It looked really interesting and a good meal to split. Other than that, Wako offers good sushi at a great price for customers that live nearby. A little more attention to service would improve my rating from a 3.0 to 3.5. xiaoeats.com

  The Best Spicy Salmon Crunch Roll. I’ve been to Wako numerous times, and I stick by them when I want really good maki. They have an amazing spicy salmon crunch roll! Sashimi is nice and clean too.
