Heartbreaking Decisions!

Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0500

In the face of our ever-changing culinary world, we believe that it is better to drive—to be—the change rather than imitate the trend.

In order to stand out with our distinctive taste, our artists’ expertise and better products, we have had to sacrifice some recipes that may have been fan favourites.

Dear customer, know that we held training seminars with each of our artists, in order to do less but to do it much better.

We hope that instead of mourning the loss of a menu item, you will rather applaud the discovery of a new masterpiece, because happiness is—also—to be found in sushis, our sushis!

No to red tuna

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0400

Since 1950, over 90% of large predators, such as tuna, have been overfished. Available stocks of bluefin tuna have declined by 80% since the 19th century. According to a WWF study, if nothing is done, bluefin tuna stocks could collapse in 2012. As of January 1, 2010, Sushi Taxi banned bluefin tuna from its restaurants. The chain wants to raise public awareness about overfishing, pirate fishing and the depletion of our oceans.
