New Generation Sushi

by - May 08, 2014

There are actually three different New Generation Sushi locations; two of them are located within walking distance of one another on Bloor St W. The following review is based on the original location (the non-AYCE). A friend suggested this place for dinner, and I agreed to check it out with them. All of the tables were taken that Saturday, but the turnover rate was pretty high. The two of us got a table within 15 minutes of arriving. We were seated and given the menu which was rather large, and many of the items are fairly priced.

Unfortunately, I had a small lunch that day as I was busy all morning running errands. So I was super hungry by the time dinner hits. I opted for the NewGen Grill Bento ($22.95). The meal consisted of short ribs & chicken, dumpling, seafood tempura crunch roll (3 pcs), salmon sashimi (2 pcs), salmon sushi (2 pcs), and steam rice. On a normal day (where I've properly eaten lunch), I probably wouldn't have finished the entire meal, but I did that night. The waitress was rather surprised given my petite stature.

Anyways, the night started off with complimentary green salad and miso soup.


The sashimi and sushi selection in this bento box was standard which was salmon. The sashimi were thinly sliced, and the quality was decent. However, there was nothing particularly memorable about the sushi or sashimi. On the other hand, both of the ribs and chicken teriyaki were tasty, and I enjoyed it.


The unassuming establishment may lack ambiance, but the service that we received that night was pretty good. Our waitress was friendly, efficient, and the food arrived quickly. I may have ordered one of their more expensive items due to sheer hungry, but a majority of their menu is relatively cheap. One of the reasons why New Generation Sushi has accumulated a following of regular customers is due to the good value that they provide for the food. If you happen to be in the area for lunch; their lunch specials are mostly under $10.
