SUSHI UMI ***
Only the vibrantly painted chairs - all 10 of them - remind that you that just last year, this poky little place was a Mexican restaurant. Now owned by a gracious husband-and-wife team, Sushi Umi fills a small gap in the West Wellington neighbourhood for raw fish snacks. It does a brisk takeout trade - standard party platters of sushi for the book club, say - and though it offers only the usual suspects of fish (and other stuff), the product is fresh-tasting, the rice is tangy, and the soybean wrappers are crunchy-firm. Many visit Sushi Umi for its daily hot special. Miso soup to start, then perhaps a bento box of teriyaki chicken - the glazed meat tender, not too sweet - topped with a skewer of grilled shrimp. This comes with rice, two delicate gyoza, two pieces of California roll, plus a green salad piqued with fresh ginger dressing, gallons of green tea, and a cold drink. This for $12.95. Not too shabby, that. One step. Open Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner. $11.95-$14.95. 1311 Wellington St. W.
