SUSHI LEGEND

!!! ATTENTION !!! SCARBOROUGH HAS A NEW SUSHI SPOT

Honestly I haven't loved a sushi restaurant this much since grade 12, which was when my friend first introduced me to Matsuda. I remember after eating there it became THE spot. I brought my family, I went with my friends, introduced it to my boyfriend. 5 years later and it's definitely still a go-to spot to grab some AYCE ... well, until Sushi Legend opened in Scarborough *smirking emoji*

Real shit, I've been to Sushi Legend at least every other week since January. I wish I was kidding but I'm not. All the photos you see here aren't taken from just one visit - they were taken from the multiple visits. When I first found out about Sushi Legend opening a Scarborough location I went to go try it out with my friend. And then I showed my best friend. And then I went with my family. And then the first person I went with wanted to go again. I'm not kidding when I say I've been here every other week. AND I'M NOT EVEN MAD (but my Visa might be). It's the new spot.

Sushi Legend Fried Rice

THIS!!!!! THIS. THIS. THIS. This is my favourite item on the menu for sure. I don't even eat rice but I could eat plates on plates on plates of this (ok i'm lying, my tiny stomach would never allow it - but I wish I could). It's so flavourful. The mayo on top is everything. I know mayo on top of rice sounds disgusting as hell but TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS, this will probably be your favourite item on the menu too. Tbh, its the reason I love this place, its the reason I keep coming back. I love this rice. 

Beef Terriyaki - Salmon Tataki

Beef Tataki

Sweet Potato Tempura

Unfortunately they do not have the Garlic Steak Cubes like Matsuda but their Beef Terriyaki makes up for it. The Beef Tataki is a must (thank god it's not the peppered one) and if you like Beef Tataki you'll love the Salmon Tataki as well. Another menu item I love is the Curry Chicken Cutlet (not pictured). Surprisingly it's not the chicken cutlet I love but the SAUCE. The japanese curry sauce is so good, sometimes I ask for extra sauce on the side so I could put it over my Sushi Legend Fried Rice.  

Mango Ice Cream - Red Bean Ice Cream - Green Tea Ice Cream

Mango Yogurt - Tiramasu - Coffee Pudding - Creme Brulee

My favourite dessert items have to be the Creme Brulee and Coffee Pudding. The Creme Brulee is really good, its not too sweet, I ate like 3 of these (but really I wanted to eat all 7 of them). The Coffee Pudding o m g (~Janice voice~).. I know there's only 1 in this picture but I ordered like another 5 right after. More espresso tasting than coffee. Honestly I rather order Coffee Pudding over the Mango Yogurt it's soo good. Another reason why I keep coming back here. 

Probably the only thing I dislike about this place is how expensive it is, but even with a price so high it hasn't kept me from coming back (clearly). Btw they have unlimited pop included w/ the menu (lunch & dinner). The place is huge and I mean huuuuge, take a trip to the washroom when you go and you'll get it when I say huuuuuuuuuuuge. Every time I've eaten here there's a good amount of people eating, even when I've gone at 8:30pm on a weekday, and there's always a table available (or at least I've never had to wait on one). The servers are nice and are also very understanding to any modifications you make to their menu items. My bestie is a vegetarian and she would make mods to some of the menu items, for e.g. 221 - Salmon, Cheese & Avocado Roll, and let the server know she was a vegetarian and they would happily do the change. The menu is huge, I'm still trying to figure out which rolls I like the best. Each visit = something new to try 

It's been a long time coming since I've raved about a sushi place like this, I really hope ya'll try it out and love it as much as I do. If you do go, feel free to tell me which dishes you love so I could try it the next time I go! :)
