ND sushi and grill is a hidden gemstone in the middle of a street full of great food.(Baldwin Street) This is a bit on the pricier side, but it has amazing food. I have been here on several occasions, and at every visit, it amazed me with the quality and freshness of the food.

In this visit, I got a lunch sashimi bento box for around around $13-$15 (I don't remember exact since it has been a while). Overall, this will probably be a 10/10 in terms of japanese food. I have yet to find a place better than this in terms of food quality within downtown Toronto without breaking my wallet.

The starting japanese salad was amazing, it had just the right amount of flavour and acidity to make my stomach rumble in anticipation of the next dish.

The next dish was the main course, it was a simple bento box with a Miso Soup and abowl of white rice. The portions are small for those who want to gorge themselves, but otherwise this was one of the best bento boxes I have eaten to date.

The chicken teriyaki and the deep fried fish was very good and seasoned well, but the star was definitely the fish. The Salmon and Hamachi Sashimi was really fresh, the flavour of the fish was strong, and it just melts in your mouth. The taste was in my mouth for the remainder of the meal, and was a constant reminder of what very good salmon can taste like.
