Ton Sushi - 同壽司

Ton Sushi

Location: 1F, 22 Songshou Rd, Taipei City (台北市松壽路22號1樓)

Located on the first floor of Neo19 Ton Sushi is Taipei’s Best Sushi restaurant. The menu consists of various items from sushi, sashimi, hot pot, tempura, and special appetizers. I have heard that Taiwan’s sushi restaurants are usually better than the ones in US because of the influence Japan had on Taiwan. I didn’t believe it would make much of a difference until I had my first bite of sushi at Ton Sushi in Taiwan.

One of the unique items that we had was the Uni and Salmon Roe sushi served on a romaine lettuce. The Uni was fresh and sweet with a little bit of rice and wasabi on the bottom.

Our second dish is the avocado roll.

Our third dish is the deep fried king prawn tempura. Unlike the tempura I had in US which are just kind of plain and I tend to not care for them. Ton sushi’s tempura really set the bar high. It’s the best tempura I ever had.

Our fourth dish is the Rainbow roll which is a roll with salmon sashimi and thinly sliced avocado on top and the inside is tempura flakes, crabmeat mixed with mayonnaise and ikura roe. Best Sushi even :P

Our fifth dish is the fish with tofu which looks more like a Chinese dish than something you would get from a Japanese restaurant. The fish and tofu was soft and tender but be careful if you can’t eat fish like a China Man I wouldn’t recommend you ordering this dish.

Our sixth dish is Tea brew rice soup is comfortable food after an array of sushi. It has a refreshing taste with a bit of fresh wasabi to give it a little kick.

And the last dish is fruit dessert is done delicately. There is a piece of orange that is craved for you so that you won’t have to make an orange slice smile. The same goes for the honey dew melon but I doubt you can make a honey dew slice smile unless you have very big lips. The third component of the dessert is a small portion of taro cream pudding. The pudding is really creamy and the size of the dessert is just enough to end your meal without being overwhelmed by a huge dessert dish.
