Ichiban @ Spring Garden.

sushi... I went with a couple friends to Ichiban Fish House on Spring Garden in North York. None of us we're too hungry, so we didn't want all you can eat, which led us to this close by place. Ichiban is a pretty big restaurant with a family type atmosphere. The owners of the place are Korean, much like the large population that makes up the area. One person recommended that we try the Chirashi (which is different types of sashimi on rice). The Chirashi is a box of rice with a wide selection of raw fish on top. As you can see from the picture, they give you Salmon, white tuna, red tuna, snapper, shrimp and some other stuff. None of us really wanted to waste time looking at the menu, so 3 of us ordered the Chirashi. My other friend ordered a dish called Hae Dup Bap, which is basically a variety of Sashimi on a bed of salad. It also comes with a bowl of rice (white or brown/purple) and you mix it all together with some spicy sauce as well. Both of these dishes were really good as the selection of fish was fresh and the portions were enough to fill the average person (if you're not average, just go to all you can eat sushi! haha).
Quick Notes: There are many different Ichiban locations in Toronto but they are not the same(different owners, different qualities, different menus). This location we went to is located at Yonge and Sheppard, @ 15 Spring Garden Ave. The Chirashi was about ~$10 and the Hae Dup Bap was about ~$12 I think.

• Parking in this area cost money on the street (until 9 pm) but if you wanna try, you can park across the street where the Condo Developer Showrooms are... it's still a risk, but from past experience, noone cares if you park there.
