Sun’s high ceilings, stonework, steel finishes and woodsy trims are a slick background for the unfussy, bang-for-your-buck Japanese menu. The restaurant is making a name for its unusual seasonal offerings, such as vegetables from Kyoto and seafood from Hokkaido, though these are usually available only at dinner. For lunch, set-menu favourites include the fried chicken nuggets and broiled salmon set, and the tempura, tofu and salad set. We're also partial to the maguro avocado maki, here presented in a translucent sheet of rice paper, and the delicious juice made from Kyoho grapes.

Sun was included in our October 2007 Menu Updates feature.
