“Fabulous sushi with extremely friendly staff / owners! The menu is vast and the rolls are fresh and delicious. The special rolls are huge so definitely worth the extra cost. Everything we’ve had there is really greatKid-friendliness: They have kids chairs and kids chopsticks“
“Lovely little restaurant on Laird, near McRae. Fulsome sushi menu but also some nice bento selections. Very tasty, satisfying, and at a great price. Pork katsu, chicken teriyaki, and tempura selections were delicious. Give yourself a treat and try Kintako!“
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Our five-year-old daughter spotted the place; so on a whim we tried it, and we love it. Now we come as a family all the time. There is such a wide variety of food choices, everything is so tasty. Little Kamaria’s favourite is the Seafood Bat Pizza, I can’t get enough of the Korean wings. Mom loves their unique take on Nachos. Each visit we’ll try another new dish! The staff are super friendly too.“
“Snow cheese pork cutlet is so delicious!!!The sauce must be level 3. It's super spicy, but eating it with cheese cuts down on the greasiness and makes it delicious.,,?The portions are so big and it’s the best. The best pork cutlet in Toronto.,,?“
“This was the best dining experience of my life. The multidimensional balance of flavour, texture, and temperature was an experience that delighted the senses in a new way for me. We did the full omakase and sake pairing. It's worth every cent. Staff and service were perfectly refined and welcoming. Thanks Yasu!! I will return for sure“
“so far i’d say this is the best sushi i’ve had in toronto! very high quality ingredients, very reasonably priced for what you get. perfect portion sizes and they have lots of creative rolls! and the vegetarian options go way beyond the standard fare. the service is always incredibly friendly! extra points for the presentation always being beautiful and unique compared to other sushi places. i’ll always go here to pick up sushi for special occasions!“
“Exceptional food, service and atmosphere. A perfect trifecta. A must repeat restaurant for us.Special note for any music lovers or audiophiles, the sound system and acoustics are ?️ dialed in here... So a good choice for those who like their ears to be pleased while dining. ??(McIntosh amplification, JBL speakers with iso acoustic pucks etc...).Thank you Imanishi Japanese Kitchen! “
“There are many fine sushi restaurants in the GTA and Kibo is a franchise chain, but it consistently delivers. Temper expectations to good sushi and maki at reasonable prices and it is worthy of a pretty solid review. Does it stand up to singular and dedicated sushi chefs? There is a reason why we have so many Michelin-rated Japanese and sushi restaurants locally. So Kibo isn’t competing with those … but it’s still good.“
“The place is so different than the last day I came here. There’s less Izakaya and more like sushi bar menu. Service is good, the server is kind and explain in details about the food. The oyster is delicious, but I do miss the more Izakaya-kind of food.“
“Dining in was an unforgettable experience, greatly enhanced by our waiter, Dee, whose service was exceptional. She guided us through the menu with expertise, suggesting dishes like fresh sashimi, and irresistible grilled octopus.Dee's attentiveness made our visit special. She ensured our glasses were always full and our table laden with delectable dishes. Her passion and knowledge about the cuisine added a personal touch that made our dining experience stand out.In short, the restaurant is a gem worth visiting for its delicious food and outstanding service, especially from Dee. We left promising to return soon.“
“I really like this restaurant! The service is great, the restaurant is clean, and the food is amazing. The curry katsu udon is so filling and rich. Though i would not get the shrimp onigiri again because there was only 1 shrimp in it and it was $6 so i cant really justify the price.“
“This has got to be the BEST Japanese Sushi place in Toronto! First time here and they did not dissapoint! Our server Jane was beyond our expectations! Great service Thank You! And the food was absolutely delicious not to mention the presentation.“
“SAKU has been one of my favourite sushi spots for years. I'm so glad they are still around and offering great food and drink options!We recently stopped by for their Happy Hour special which is from 9pm til close. They have $6 sushi, apps, and $6 drinks and $10 cocktails! Incredible deal!The service was great and food hit the spot. I love all of the Neon lights and anime posters ?“
“We definitely enjoyed our meal at August 8. The food was aesthetically pleasing, tasty, and properly prepared.I rated the service only 4 out of 5 stars because our table was often overlooked, and we didn't receive all of our first order until we had asked three different servers (20 minutes after the first part of our order was delivered to the table) if it had been forgotten. They also only give you 90 minutes to eat lunch, 90 minutes goes very quickly, especially because they control the time in which they bring out your meals. Therefore you're not getting quite the value of your money, and feel as though you have to dine quickly.The restaurant is very clean, as are the washrooms (in my experience, this is usually Telltale sign whether or not the kitchen would be clean!)There are tons of food options, and from what I saw on our plates, as well as other tables the food comes out fresh.I would definitely recommend this restaurant.Ps, don't let your eyes be too big for your belly. If you don't finish the food on your plate, they will charge you extra for it. Drinks are also an additional cost to the "all you can eat" mealWheelchair accessibility: I don't imagine this restaurant would be wheelchair accessible as the only bathrooms that I saw were in the basement. Otherwise, a wheelchair could come in to the restaurant, but the area is tight with tables.“
“Minimal, cozy atmosphere with enough seating space for parties of all sizes. Great portions, good quality ingredients. Plenty of menu options but not enough to overwhelm, plus the waitstaff are attentive and efficient. I’ve had great experiences here with family and friends.“
“Discovering this quaint restaurant was an absolute delight! Despite its size, the quality of every dish surpassed our expectations. Each ingredient tasted remarkably fresh, a testament to the chef's commitment to excellence. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the warmth and hospitality of the owner. Their genuine kindness added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience.I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a memorable culinary adventure. It's the kind of place you can't help but share with friends, knowing they'll appreciate the exceptional dining experience as much as you did.“
“Got the Maki sushi and sashimi platter and it was pretty good! We appreciated the miso soup and salad that was included. The selection of rolls and sashimi was pretty good as well. In terms of fish quality, I would say it was pretty average. Not amazing but definitely still good tasting, although one of the sashimi (the torched one? not sure what fish) was SUPER tough and dry and chewy.Also, we are not gluten-free or vegan but it's really cool that this restaurant offers those options!Overall, enjoyed our meal! ?“
“I recently dined at a sushi restaurant that left me truly impressed. The freshness of the food was unparalleled; each piece of fish tasted like it was just caught moments before being served. The precision in which the rice was cooked was remarkable, achieving the perfect texture and flavor to complement the fish.However, what truly set this restaurant apart was the service. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. From recommending dishes to promptly refilling drinks, their professionalism and friendliness were exceptional.Overall, I highly recommend this sushi restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. The combination of fresh, delicious food and outstanding service makes it a standout choice.“
“If you want to dine in a big restaurant where you can get big serving sizes and see servers and other customers pass by you then this is not your place. This restaurant offers private and personal dining experience that is hard to find in Toronto. The restaurant is small with only 9 seats. We dined with another couple and each group got one server and the host was also taking care of us. The service is excellent and meeting my expectations. We tried the spring menu this time and I love the aged blue fin tuna, squid,monkfish liver, and Hokkaido sea urchin. The portion size is small but you can't feel hungry as you get many dishes. The food is high in quality and sourced from Japan. The chef skills are amazing and he has a great sense of humor. I will definitely comeback to try the menu in different seasons. Thank you team, you guys did a great job!“
“Great amount of space fitting a table of 8 adults and 2 kids not much privacy. We did have RSVP for table larger than 6. Also having to be at the location within the 10 mins of your RSVP. Careful as they do measure kids height to consider a child or as an adult. Found this location better than the one on Dundas. All the meats were seasoned well as none of them tasted similar to the point you got tried of generic taste continue to different dishes/meats. The service was fast and all the servers were very polite. I would come back to this location again.“
“i love this place, it’s so good!!! and they recently redid their menu to be smaller and less expensive, which is incredible. i love the variety in the boxes. i’m from vancouver so i have big sushi opinions lmao and there’s not much in toronto that really cuts it, but this place is unique and affordable and way better than lots of toronto sushi. we got the tasting box (my favourite), the spicy lover, and beef gyoza (which are better than pork imo i’m not a huge fan of pork)“
“Amazing sushi restaurant. Excellent quality ingredients, good fish to rice ratio and they even gave me some free spring rolls on my first order! One thing to note: the spicy salmon roll is actually spicy (although not incredibly so) so if you are sensitive to spice may want to opt for their non-spicy rolls. 5 stars!Vegetarian options: Yam, veggie and cucumber rolls“
“This place is a cute little spot with good food! I got the Bulgogi club sandwich. They also have a self serve coffee section. The owners are very kind. They make you feel right at home. I’m glad places like this are still around in the neighbourhood. Will be back soon! ☺️“
“It’s a must go if you are in Toronto or near the Chefs Hall, located in a quiet and cosy corner, Iwami gave us a fantastic lunch experience. Everything is so fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Tommy the Chef is so passionate about cooking and serving the clients, his creativity and talent are well demonstrated in the selection of ingredients and different layers of flavor. Highly recommended for casual lunch or dinner. Will go back for sure next time when I am in Toronto.“
“I always wanted to come here for brunch every time I passed by. Honestly I was so impressed by the flavor. I LOVE that they fully understand the taste of Japan.I started off with Japanese squash salad with sesame dressing. I was already satisfied with the first dish. All of the dishes seemed really good but I got seafood spaghetti (spicy pollack roe, shrimp ) and miso mushrooms spaghetti. The taste reminded me of the time when I was in Japan…. These two are very unique pastas you can try here. At the end, I got red beans french toasts. This was die for? I don’t know how they make this but it just had the best combination of everything.. I felt like I could eat this infinitely. I think they rotate the flavors depending on season.One thing to mention, you should make a reservation beforehand since it’s a tiny place and the fact that it was packed on typical Monday. You can also be on the wait list but need to wait at least 20-30mins if it’s busy. I even saw people who already had a reservation but were waiting for the seats. I don’t know how they ended up like that. Anyways, I recommend people to book it before going.“
“Amazing amazing. Amazing!!!! My gf took me here for my birthday and this was the best sushi I’ve eaten outside of Japan and I’ve eaten at many sushi places in Toronto over the years. For the price and quality you can’t beat this - the servers are even Japanese. Amazing premium nigiri we ordered was definitely worth paying more for premium. Service amazing and just wanted to say thanks as it was my birthday and they served me ice cream and cheesecake. Can’t wait to come back!!! Thanks Shibui!!!“
“Amazing food , amazing waitress , amazing atmosphere We have been here for the first time and definitely recommend this place.Everything was so tasty and the lady that attended us was super friendly ❤️❤️❤️Love it, love it, love it !!“
“Their vegan options are not just delicious but also unique! I have been to Japan but I never saw a miso eggplant flavour onigiri (if it does exist maybe I just missed it every time???) but it was so delicious here. Dango was also super tasty. ALMOST as good as fresh street food in Japan but not quite ?Vegetarian options: They have several vegetarian/vegan options. The eggplant miso is vegan and the shiso plum onigiri is vegan 100% for sure because we asked the chefs.“
“Chotto Matte is a must try. The food was absolutely amazing. The Amazonian salmon is a culinary masterpiece, the wagyu beef gyoza magnificent, the tempura shrimp were amazing with the sauce provided, while the spicy chicken karaage wasn’t great flavor wise the texture was a bit off putting it was perfectly crunchy on the outside but a bit slimy on the inside, the pineapple pomegranate duck breast was delicious - extremely flavorful, though we were not a fan of the pork and shrimp gyoza they eagerly replaced them with another wagyu beef gyoza. The service is outstanding. The wait staff and busser were extremely attentive, our water glasses didn’t stay empty long the moment they notices they refilled without prompting and finished plates were removed from the table.“
“Very yummy and would definitely come back! The okonomiyaki is a pretty good deal and decent amount of food! For four of us we each got an okonomiyaki as well as the seafood yakisoba and beef yakiniku to share, and we were all quite full. We also got the edamame to start. I personally am not sure if I would get the yakiniku again, just because I felt like it was a bit too much bean sprouts under the beef, but it was still tasty. My favourite part of the meal was definitely the okonomiyaki! I believe this is more of an Osaka-style okonomiyaki (where the ingredients are mixed instead of layered), so just keep that in mind if you're looking for a different style!“
“Visiting Toronto this week and had a rough day, decided to close it with some late sushi. They sent two miso soups on the house with a kind message, and the food was incredibly good. Thank you kind people at ju sushi for unknowingly making our day <3“
“Every dish was fresh, and the sushi in particular was exceptionally flavorful. The staff were extremely friendly and showed great consideration for their customers. The atmosphere and quality of service were truly impressive. I highly recommend Kibo Sushi and would give it five stars without hesitation!“
“I have to highlight that the customer service is definitely excellent, they were always friendly and very attentive, In addition to the fact that the portions are large and everything is very delicious, we ordered sashimi and everything is very fresh and with large pieces. The sushi roll is delicious, I will definitely return to this place and be a frequent customer.“
“I moved downtown a couple months ago and ordered via delivery at least once a month.Hands down best everyday sushi spot downtown. I recommend the aburi scallop roll!Now that the weather is nice I ordered for pick up this weekend and the staff were super friendly!“
“This was my first time in a Japanese grill style restaurant , so I had no expectations. I have to say it was a great experience.The food was so well prepared and the marinates were flavourful and delicious . Everything tasted amazing!The service was top knotch! It was our first time, and the servers were able to see this and quickly taught us and helped us maximize our time.They were truly so very helpful. They were all amazing!Thank you to a great experience. Will be bringing my kids back when we’re in Toronto visiting again.“
“Was looking for a new source of tasty kimbap near work. Mission accomplished! Took a bit of effort to locate the food court, but now I know and will definitely come back. Kimbap was delicious, fresh, and tasted like home made with love. Should have taken a photo but ate it too quickly! A great find!“
“For years I’ve had my out of neighbourhood favourites. I couldn’t exactly find one in highpark I was as in love with. Until now! Great for people living around highpark as it’s walking distance. Made my order over the phone before taking the dogs out and it was ready when arrived. I ordered dynamite special and gyoza. Total was 20$. The special came with a salad and soup. Everything was tasty and very fresh. Can’t wait for the patio to reopen.“
“I only ended up here because the staff down the street at Kyouka was so unwelcoming and rude.Here, the woman behind the sushi bar was smiling and saying hello before I even had the door all the way open.I read another review that mentioned it’s a family run business - and their customer service is excellent.The tonkastu ramen was delicious.All the staff, including the sushi chef, were super lovely.Go here.“
“Our family has been going here for close to 10 years now, and throughout those years we never had any negative experiences.I can vouch for the whole menu, everything they make is top notch.The sushi and the rolls, we have yet to find any that come close in comparison.The environment is nice and cozy - perfect for family outings or dates with your special other.I can't but sing praises about this place. It's a gem that's kind of hidden away.“
“A friend of mine told me to stop at J San for some sushi. I have to admit the sushi combo 211 I ordered was really fresh. And I liked the seafood selection they have for sale, good stuff. Overall, all the tables and the washroom were clean. But there was a couple flies I believe from that Zz plant that were flying over my head and food constantly.Parking: Parking is across the street and 3 hours free for restaurant customers. Don't park on the street.“
“I adore Gonzo Izakaya. Fantastic atmosphere, kind staff, great food. I come as often as I can. Everything in the menu is delicious. Can't choose wrong. It's very popular, so reservations are recommended.Kid-friendliness: I've brought my kids and the staff are great with the kids. We really enjoyed it.“
“Offering a wonderful variety of beautifully presented Japanese dishes including certain options like fish roe and scallops which are not typically offered elsewhere, this restaurant provides not only a tasty affordable experience, but also a unique one!“
“Always reliable for fresh, delicious food. For the first time in the two years we’ve been ordering, something went haywire in our delivered order. After a quick chat, they were quick and apologetic to fix the issue. We will keep going back!“
“That's my favourite restaurant in Toronto! They have amazing sushi and Mexican with affordable prices. The sushi quality is comparable with the very famouse sushi places in the city and the pressed sushi is the best I've tried. I can't recommend enought this place.“
“Lola Sushi has become my go-to spot since I moved into the neighborhood a year and a half ago. Whether it's takeout or dining in with family, the experience is always exceptional. It’s a cosy little spot offering a warm and genuine service, making it my preferred choice in the area. Their menu features an extensive selection of sushi rolls, sashimi, and Bento boxes, alongside enticing Korean and Japanese options. Plus, their prices are reasonable. Lola Sushi as a standout gem in the neighborhood dining scene.“
“Absolutely love this place. Great food that felt like I was back in Japan. The presentation is great and food tasted fantastic. Only wish they had a couple more vegetarian items or listed items that can be made vegetarian because it's hard to convince my spouse to come when there is only one item on the menu that she can eat. In any case it's so worth the trip out.The platter was worth it!“
“We were in Toronto to catch a show on College street. We came here before hand to have some sushi and a couple beers and we were both blown away. A small intimate space with wonderful food and service.Wheelchair accessibility: The only concern would be that the bathrooms are located downstairs making it not accessible to those with wheelchairs“
“What a delightful dining experience! We tried the spring tasting menu, which was delicious and great value at $50 per person for five courses and an alcoholic drink. They also offer premium add-ons at half price. I loved the tatakis and baked lobster tail the most. Our server, Jennifer, was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is beautiful, making it a perfect place for a date night!“
“My husband and I visited Resurrection Restaurant this past weekend and wow, just wow. First walking in you feel very welcomed and a modern inviting ambiance.We were greeted by what we come to find out one of the owner's Matthew and were seated at our table.We asked for their best cocktail to start, now I don't remember what it was called but it was so good we had several more. We ordered a couples of apps and mains. Everything was presented in such a beautiful manner and tasted just amazing.The service, food and cocktails were amazing we definitely plan to return again very soon.Big shout out to Matthew who welcomed us and made the best cocktails we've had in a while.Keep up the amazing work“
“Where the east meets west. Indulge in the finest sea urchins, bluefin tuna belly, and freshly prepared wasabi—all at an unparalleled value. Immerse yourself in the ambiance and engage with the chef for a richer experience, enhanced further if you can speak a bit of Japanese.“
