I was in search for a good sushi restaurant uptown because my usual go-to sushi joint used to be Gonoe which was good but didn't really have that wow factor. I had seen some great reviews for Mi-Ne Sushi and was very excited to try it out.

The restaurant is quite small so you may have to wait a bit to get a seat depending on the time you go, but the two times we went (which was late) we had no problems getting a seat. The servers are very friendly and accommodating by helping us choose items from their menu. From the two times we've been to this restaurant, we've tried their Love Boat (sashimi, nigiri sushi and rolls), Ocean Smoke Roll, Golden Dragon Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Kalbi appetizer and spicy chicken dinner.

Golden Dragon Roll (middle from pic above)

Shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, 

tobiko, wrapped with fresh salmon

The shrimp tempura inside the roll was a decent size and the salmon tasted very delicious on top. I love all rolls that contain shrimp and salmon together so this was perfect for me.

Spicy Tuna Roll (bottom from pic above)

These rolls were huge but it was disappointing to find that they hardly put any tuna inside! I only found out after opening one up and seeing an extremely tiny piece of tuna. The filling was pretty much all tempura. Major fail.

Ocean Smoke Roll (8 pc)

Smoked salmon, cream cheese, asparagus, tobiko, 

crab meat, avocado, wrapped with salmon, special balsamic

mayo sauce, onion, scallion and torched on top

The Ocean Smoke Roll is one of their most popular rolls which is packed with many different items. The roll tasted very fresh with hints of smokey flavour from the the slightly torched salmon. The cream cheese didn't taste heavy and it was actually pretty light and creamy. Everything about this roll was amazing and the portion was huge!

The Love Boat, which is for 2 people, was perfect because it had a variety of different kinds nigiri and sashimi which was more than enough. Also included were California, spicy salmon, and dynamite rolls. For the price of $53, it was well worth it because we were stuffed!

Kalbi

BBQ beef short ribs marinated in special sauce

The kalbi appetizer was very tasty but there was hardly any meat on it and mostly bone. If they're going to serve the kalbi like that, they should at least give more pieces because it was definitely a rip off.

Spicy Chicken Dinner

Grilled white chicken breast and vegetables

with homemade spicy sauce

The spicy chicken dinner definitely had some heat and was pretty good. I probably wouldn't order it again because I could get that kind of dish at a Korean restaurant and I would rather eat their rolls and sushi.

Overall, I would say this restaurant is by far my favourite place for sushi roll, minus the spicy tuna roll. This restaurant is quite far (Yonge and Elgin Mills), but I would say it's worth the drive because their rolls tastes very fresh and the portion sizes are huge!
