Corner's poke bowls are delicious - this is an indisputable fact. At the same time though, the hip, lounge-worthy restaurant is quite far for those that reside on the edge of Mississauga/Oakville.
Mi'Hito Sushi Laboratory is Spoon and Fork's response to this. Frankly, it's not much closer to City Centre in terms of distance. However, it is much more accessible by highway and situated in an area with just a little less traffic.
Already home to Cineplex, Demetres, and several other grab-and-go places, the Courtneypark plaza recently welcomed the trendy cuisine after the closure of Prince Sushi.

My assumption is that Mi'Hito will cater to the working force from the corporate buildings across the street, along with hungry movie-goers of all ages.
It offers an identical poke/sushi burrito menu to Corner, with the exception of one new addition: Sushi Tacos. The interior is significantly smaller in comparison and retains a sleeker, less cozy vibe; it places emphasis on communal tables, stone grey walls sporting bold outlined figures, and an abundance of natural lighting.

Mi'Hito is intended for high table turnover rates, as washroom stalls are few, the menu is straighforward, and canned cold drinks are served in place of caffeinated beverages. Of course, this is strictly my personal opinion, as I cannot see the staff rushing leisurely customers out the door when volume is low.
Admittedly, the spot was a tad difficult to locate as it was lacking a clearly labelled storefront. We eventually managed to find it after making two rounds about the plaza, ducking back into the car for warmth, and making a quick call to them.
We opt for a duo of Sushi Tacos (Spicy Salmon and Unagi) and a Rising Sun sushi burrito, both of which were prepared swiftly but not without minor kinks in the ordering process. The lady behind the cashier seemed to be unsure of the computer system operations; her English comprehension skills were also found to be need improvement, as a portion of the phone call consisted of "yes" and "ok" to open-ended inquiries.

Around 1pm, majority of the lunch rush had diminished, rendering sufficient seating in the establishment to dine comfortably. But as both of us had pending schedules to attend to, the items were taken to go.
Rising Sun was absolutely scrumptious as a late lunch. The burrito container was portable and featured a perforated opening that allowed ease of consumption even while on the go. Essentially, the packaging was identical to Corner.

The Sushi Tacos, I was later informed, were "good", but sauce-heavy and average overall.
At this point, I'd like to draw attention to the fact that this impromptu Mi'Hito visit actually sprouted from the failure of a meet-up that had been planned over one month in advance. This incident currently marks the second time that someone (whose name shall remain unspoken of due to the extreme amount of damage that has been inflicted on my mental and emotional status) has not only declined to provide advance notice for potential changes in plans, but also remain unreachable, unreasonable, and utterly disrespectful towards the personal schedules of other human beings occupying time and space on the planet.
This marks the second time.
I had been kind enough to forgo the first incident, where I had taken up the responsbility of waking up on time for our scheduled meet-up time and date, despite only having returned from a late-night concert with a mere five hours of sleep before the third (and final) concert of TKC weekend.
Having peeled my unwilling body away from warm sheets of comfort and haggardly gotten dressed and done up for the forty-five minute commute, only to be told minutes before departure that the meet-up details would be altered to fit a different schedule was by far the most enraging and frustrating experiences in my lifetime as an efficiency activist.
Second chances aren't intended to be given, but rather earned. It is only necessary for betrayal to occur once before it is deemed immoral and unnacceptable. Yet, my forgiveness, flexibility, and kindness had been tossed not once, but twice out the window.
Plan modifications are acceptable, but only when expressed in a reasonable amount of time.
As an adult, or even a decent human being, one ought to assume responsibility for your own actions and commitments. Should one voluntarily abandon these basic skills for communication, please refrain from burdening and hindering others with your despicable ways of living.
At this point in time, no further forgiveness will be given.
A minor lack of punctuality with prior notification is something I can accept during extraneous circumstances.
However, BLATANT DISRESPECT for my TIME and SCHEDULE shall never be forgiven.
This is an open letter to those that deserve it this message. Feel free to read and contemplate as necessary.
You know who you are.
