Gianluca Ferrari

Very cool place with a great atmosphere. Alot more authentic and overall good vibe. The quality and appearance of the food is fantastic. The open kitchen is a great touch everything looks fresh and inviting. Only problem is the price definitely a more expensive place, not sure it's worth it in every aspect. I would definitely come back and try something else. Lunch menu and roll selection is a bit limited.

Catherine TB

This restaurant feels very traditional...the ladies are wearing Kimonos and the men are also dressed traditionally...you feel that you are in a Japanese restaurant. The attention is 100%...they are making sure that you are very well taken care of. I recently celebrated my birthday there...so thank you for the Green Tea ice cream with the birthday candle...it was a nice touch. You made my birthday special

Mark Eugenio

I went there with my girlfriend during winterlicious for our 3rd year anniversary. We were surprised with an exclusive sake on the house which made the experience even better. The food was delicious. Hands down to one of the best sushi place I've ever had. Excellent service from the staff. Our food came in batches and we didn't have to wait long. Overall experience was great. Happy customer here and would definitely come back

Corey Durand

Excellent and attentive service! Had the dinner for 2, was very happy with the variety of dishes. Will definitely come back to try more!

Ann Truong

Already had a taste of Japan and need a fix in Toronto? Nami is definitely the go-to spot. Great food & beverage menu, and you can find traditional items on their menu. They also have a Robata grill! One of my top favourites in Toronto in terms of authenticity!

Doug Latour

Highly recommend the sushi and sashimi plate here. I doubt you will find better price performance than this place. The quality is amazing.

Sherway Nissan

Love this restaurant, great for our office parties! They have an awesome tatami room in the back.

Daniel Fairhead

My boss always takes us here. I dont know a lot about Japanese restaurants and cuisine but I do know that this place rocks. I dont do raw fish but The steak is amazing! Highly recommend this place.

Atmosphere is amazing and the food is excellent. Staff is willing to bend over backwards for you. The menu states deep fried gyoza and I asked them if they could pan fry it and they did! Definitely try the Japanese Whisky selection they offer, superb.

Kaitlyn Zarzour

Mediocre sushi. Very flawed way of charging for the "Sushi Boats". If you go I would recommend ordering off the menu. The floating bar does not have their better products. The fish was fresh, fine for a casual dinner. However the variety and quality could have been better. At the end of the dinner it was " Fine" .

Elizaveta Y

None of the sushi chefs weren’t Japanese sushi chef. But some servers when we went there were Japanese ladies. We understand they are definitely one of the good sushi restaurant in Toronto but compared to the other authentic sushi restaurant, we could not put more than three star. We still enjoyed the kaiten sushi with a nice atmosphere but we wish they to improve the quality of taste further.

heyyoumen1

Came here for my birthday, was not disappointed! We particularly love the scallops and their salmon here, melts in your mouth, feels really fresh and taste quite a bit nicer than your average sushi place. And of course with great quality and service comes a greater price tag, more on the pricier side, but not outrageously expensive. We sat on the floating sushi boat bar, and the quality of the sushi is still very good, despite not being made right out from the kitchen, still tasted fresh. Also tried the Udon and wasn’t disappointed, the broth especially smells really nice. Would definitely come back on special occasions!

Ajchara P

Service were fast and good. I was so surprised by quality of food. Scallops and fishes were not fresh as I expected

K Turtlepie

Super cool place. Love the moving boat trail shushi bar. First time ever tried sushi. Very busy in the evenings.. everyone can enjoy this place. Lots of varieties. They have something for everyone. If you have any dietary restrictions should be fine. Funnnnn.....

Troy Williams

Excellent sushi. The sushi is placed on little boats that float around and you are able to choose what you want to eat from the boats. The pricing depends on the color and design of the plate and can get a little confusing after a few saki.

Jennifer Hyde

Good quality sushi with a nice atmosphere. We were there with out 5yo and 6mo and they we very accommodating. We sat at the bar and loved the boats. Everything was fresh and there was lots of variety too.

Natalia Bonka

My Favourite place to have sushi. Prices are amazing. Quality is decent. Service could be friendlier to be honest. But it's a lot of stress in such a busy location during busy hours. I get it. Still. A smile would be nice. Often around 7-8pm there is a wait line outside. You have to get a number and wait often 20-40 min.

I have been going here since I was a student at u of t. Cheap, large portions and interior is modern. Crazy lines all the time which is a good sign. Is this high end sushi and somewhere you go once a year? No. If you want a regular sushi place this is it.

陳怡安

Food is nice but so bad customer service. I ordered grill calamari today, but the server only confirmed me “calamari”. When she served the food was deep dry calamari. I told her it’s wrong order, then not sure she was the manager or owner came and asked me “said it again” with bad attitude, after I explained everything, she told me that next time I should say “ika”. But this word is Japanese, I’m not from Japan and I know nothing about Japanese, how would I know this word? Why make your customer have to order food in Japanese but not English?! When this manager sent me the correct food, she emphasized “grill” squid with bad attitude again. Even there’s only one server was nice to us today and food is nice, but I definitely will not go back again ever.

Matthew Lee

They used to be really good at their old location which is about 4 building down the street. but since they moved here they changed some of their staff and things just aren't as efficient. but food is still good and cheap. also news flash people don't get angry if people have a reservation and butt the line. next time you can just do a reservation

Meghan Timmins

Sushi was excellent! The sushi pieces were massive and the dinner for one is a great price for all the food you get. Tea, soup, and ice cream are all included. Service was attentive and super nice.

David Barentsen

The food here is consistently good, which explains the consistent lineup. Reasonably priced, you should expect service to fluctuate in attentiveness... But then, you can enjoy the opportunity to chat with those you're dining with. :-)

Donald Yap

Great food, friendly & attentive service. Very affordable. Highly recommended. Be prepared to wait in line as this place is quite popular but the turn over is fast so the wait is not long. Best is to call ahead to reserve the table for larger group.

Philip wasang

My favourite sushi place in Toronto. Spicy crunch salmon, rainbow and dynamite are my favourite rolls. The salmon sashimi is very fresh and thick too!

Philip Tsang

This place is pretty awesome. I have been going here for years and over that time, I have had various experiences here. The first time, I was completely blown away by the quality of the sushi. This was over 15 years ago and at the time, the omakase was fairly reasonably priced. Over the years, it has gone up in price and I would say the competition in Toronto has also caught up. Having said that, it is still really good and worth checking out if you are a sushi fan.

Dimitri Androutsos

Simply the BEST sushi in the GTA and maybe even all of Canada. No overly fancy BS, no over the top presentation, just high quality sushi in an authentic environment prepared to perfection. PERFECTION. pricey...yes...but of the few places I can say are worth the price.

Chris Fischer

Been to Kaji twice now (and I rarely return back to any restaurant). Very fresh sushi. Love the variation in the different types of dishes they serve and the portions for the tasting menu is substantial; you will definitely be very full after this one if you manage to finish all the courses. The last course is the sushi so save room for the last course because their sushi is great. Would certainly recommend Kaji for the tasting menus and it is much better than the over-rated Yasu sushi tasting in downtown

Sara Scurfield

This always gets voted the best Japanese in Toronto. I have to say, for the huge price tag, I couldn't get over eating on old chairs in a strip mall. If I'm having a super special meal, I'd prefer the whole thing blow my mind, not just the fresh seafood. I wouldn't go back but glad I tried it.

Darwin Yang

I had a great experience at Sushi Kaji. It was the best omakase experience I've had in Toronto. The staff were very polite and their service was fantastic. The chefs were very friendly and informative with our food. The food was also very good and fresh. I would definitely come back in the future.

July Zhang

The best omakase I’ve had in toronto! Very fulfilling! Desert part can be improved though.

Kate Plancha

Good service. Hot food originality has decreased ever since Okata-san left. Sushi quality is there but I feel overall not as good as few years back.

Justin Cook

Hands down one of the best sushi experiences of my life. Everything was just right, from temperature, texture, size, amount of rice, all of it. Highly recommended.

Elizaveta Y

Food was alright and atmosphere was great. But honestly the food could be better. When I went to Japan, taste was of course amazing and much stronger than the meals which I ordered in Ematei. This restaurant is way better than most of Japanese restaurants in Toronto but it could improve more.

Jessica Ly

Ambience was nice, super cute interiors and food was amazing. Only thing would be that the food took a while to get to us... We ordered our food around the same time other tables did but we got ours when they were done and paying.

Teresa B

The food here is amazing - one of the better Japanese restaurants in Toronto. We shared a plate of sashimi and tempura. The sashimi was freshly prepared at the bar and the tempura is probably one of the best in the city. The service was a bit slow for dinner but the ambiance was terrific!

Blair Bai

Food are ok, not delicious as the price indicated, tables are kinda small for firing the hot pot and all the food. Waitress are nice and polite.

Karen Cove

This is a great place to go. Very good service. Authenticity and simplicity

Yucong Shi

I just wanna call in to see if I can make a reservation. Called at 5 different times during the day with multiple attempts each time, and apparently no one would bother to pick up the phone. I understand that sometimes restaurants are busy but this place is making me feel that they never pick up phone calls. If you are busy (or lazy), set up some online system for customers instead of ignoring. Totally disappointing customer service from the very beginning.

Ken Chau

This place food was pretty good. I found the service wasn't the best , probably due to the fact it was too busy. Definitely didn't like the skewers, would go back for the chanko nabe only.

George Jia

The food is decent and the actual service is pretty good. But you get greeted by the least friendly person, he will make sure that you feel like you shouldn't be there. It appears that he is busy, and he obviously think that it's all of your fault.

One of the most exquisite japanese restaurants in the city. Their fish are very fresh and high quality. Staffs are very friendly and professional. You really cannot ask for more from this restaurant. Prices are high but given the quality and location it is expected. Nonetheless, every penny you pay here is well worth it.

baba zhang

Honestly that is the best sushi I have been ate in Toronto . I am extremely recommend this restaurant. Enough place high work rate. It not cost long time for waiting. I went there at lunch there are 2 chief working for three customer. The 9 pcs sushi is called chief combo maybe not remember very clearly.the price is little bit high but the is valuable for this price.

Justin Zhou

This is my to-go spot for fresh fish. Went here on a Thursday. Food was pretty good. I would recommend getting a reservation ahead of time. The selection is small but the fish is very fresh.

Barry Ip

Been there few times. Good quality fish for sashimi & sushi. Would add value if some seasonal fish is served. Helpful & friendly servers. No wonder it's full house on a heavy snowy night. Would go again.

Fatima Lam

It's ok. It could be better. My girlfriend would kill me for saying this but honestly, there are better places to go. It is a hip cool place, I feel like the mid-twenties crowd would really like it but it isn't for me.

mj s

Incredibly fresh and amazing sushi. Wonderful experience every time! The quality and skill these chef produce is beyond words!

Haijong Park

Very fresh fish. Vibe here is very young. Would come back here everytime I am in Toronto.

Jonathan Basha

We came by on a weekend as a group of three for some late dinner. We had to wait a bit for our table to be ready and had a delicious cocktail while hanging out. The tapas style plates were all delicious, we could have tried the whole menu. The fish jerky may have been my favorite. We ordered a ton of food and drinks and were surprised at how fairly priced the meal was. We will definitely be coming back. A great spot if you want to impress some foodies.

Kyle Kofsky

Fantastic food and lovely service. Perfect for sharing and ordering lots of different plates each with a unique flavour profile. Surprisingly large menu with a great mix of hot and cold dishes. Enjoy!

Lina Ngo

I’ve been wanting to come to this restaurant for quite some time now and I’m happy to say I really enjoyed everything that I ordered. I had great service, the food was great. Much smaller place than expected but be sure to call in ahead of time to book reservation as it does get very busy!

Vera Lyn Gradziel

I really like this restaurant. Small plates that taste great and won't break the bank. I tried the eggplant adegashi, chicken wings and the pickled cucumber. Cool music. Tokyo Toast! Get, eat and love life!

Vera Lyn

I love Japanese cuisine! This restaurant reminds me of my trips to Japan. It has a nice atmosphere and great selection of small plates. Very cool.

Rie Hana

The first time I went to this restaurant I loved the atmosphere and the food -- which is why I went again with a different group of my friends for a second time. However, as soon as we sat down, we found ourselves to be confronted by an incredibly rude and immature server, who proclaimed himself to also be the manager of the restaurant. I was not only embarrassed that I recommended this restaurant to my friends, but I also felt largely disrespected by the server/manager. Here is what happened: As soon as we walked into the restaurant, one of my friends was confused about what the decor of the restaurant was supposed to be like. I described it to her as being eclectic. As she was commenting on the decor, the server/manager came up to our table and said spitefully, "If you don't like it, the door is right there." I was taken aback; this was an inappropriate response to a harmless comment. A minute later, the server/manager stormed back and forth beside our table and asked if we were going to order anything. We said we were not ready yet. At this point, our group was confused -- why was this man acting this way? What did we do that warranted such hostility? I wanted some clarification, and I wanted to apologize if we offended him in any way. I went up to him and said that I apologize if there was any misunderstanding, but that he was actions were a bit offensive and rude. He replied, "Well, your friend was the one that was rude." Then he proceeded to walk towards the phone and pretended to be in a call (when the phone did not even ring, nor did he dial anything). This was how he, a manager, chose to resolve a conversation with a customer. No apology, no explanation, just a pretend call so that he could ignore me and avoid the consequences of his actions. The other workers of the restaurant just stood by the back of the restaurant, watching this happen. I'm still unsure why the events unraveled as they did. How could a manager of a restaurant act that way towards their customers? I began to wonder if it was because we were Asian (him and the workers were all white) or if it was because we were women so he thought he could act that way towards us. I hope that no other customer experiences what we did that night.

Tyler Katz

Japanese small dishes done right. This place has great ambiance, food, and sake. Been there twice, and will definitely be back again! It sound crazy given all the great stuff on the menu, but try the pickles!

Huimon Philious

Fun place for decent sushi and simple eats. The curry was too sweet so they can look at adjusting the recipe.

We were planning on going to the Prince hotel for tappanyaki but after reading the reviews we decided to denture downtown to this place. Reading the reviews we knew it would be a better option. 5 of us all ordered the same dinner steak and lobster. Food was excellent! Service excellent. Busy place nice atmosphere friendly staff. Just as most of the reviews stated. Parking underground $9. Will return. Thanks for the great experience for my sons 22 birthday. Steak and lobster was cooked to perfection. Enjoy

Mark Fuego

Nothing but good things to say about this place. Came here for the first time to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. The staff are super friendly and was very accommodating. The chef made sure we had fun and enjoyed our experience. The restaurant had such an amazing Japanese style atmosphere that just makes me love their culture even more. At the end of our meal they came in with my girlfriends cake and sang as loud as they can. Overall we had an amazing experience and would definitely come back here. My only regret is that I was not able to offer the staff some of the strawberry cheesecake from my girlfriends birthday for the amazing service that they have provided because I was just having way too much fun. I recommend coming here!

V S

Yummy food. Impressive chefs. A great entertaining experience

Judy Jia

The teppanyaki experience is fun and the food is pretty good. Definitely get the fried rice!

Greg

Place has a good vibe for those who love that environment...to small can barely walk inside and I saw multiple people tripping on Ramp inside the the place.. good food very very expensive..but I'm sure some of of will love it..

Sharona Thomas

Friendly atmosphere. The cooking table had very limited spacing. It feels like we were sitting on each other, that’s how tight the space was. Not really kids friendly. I wouldn’t go back to celebrate a special occasion.

Shane Brett

Took my son for his birthday - tons of fun. The food was good, but the chef really made the night with great banter and impressive skills.

We love their grill section. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Shrimp tempura is a classy delicious dish. Always fun with kids!

Jessie To

One of the best Japanese restaurants in Toronto. Creative while authentically delicious. Interesting variety but not overwhelming. Great service also, but that's expected of any truly Japanese establishments. I have dined here multiple times and each time has been fantastic! Can dine here alone, or in a small or large party.

M YT

We dined in with a reservation on our anniversary and we had an amazingly perfect experience here. All the food we ordered came out very fast and as we finished the food one by one , the other food came out at a perfect time. Our servers frequently came to us and checked if everything was good and filled our water, took away the dishes and gave us new napkins before asking. What surprised us the most was at the end , we got an anniversary dessert with a sparkler. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! Excellent food and excellent service ! We’ll be back !!! Thank you !!

Ling Fan

Had an amazing time at Kingyo last night! The food was great with a good amount of selection. And they have the nicest staff! Will definitely be back!

Joseph D

Great vibe and friendly staff. Had the Pork Ramen, interesting spices but only slightly salty. Will return to try the sushi and roll menu. Eclectic music and fun decor.

Paul H

Kingyo has never disappointed. Everything was delicious and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The plates that come for kids should be like that everywhere. Their tan-tan ramen is one of the best in Toronto.

Meghan D'Mello

Incredibly delicious food, decent prices and fast service. The interior decor is pretty interesting to look at too (still not sure how to describe it).

Fan Xie

Sake was awesome. Not the best food. Maybe we should try their other food options

Great service and authentic Japanese cuisine. Probably one of the most authentic. Waitress is very attentive. Food is delicious.

Jeff Goldband

Impeccable service and attention to detail is what Shoushin is all about. We opted for the kiku with the sake pairing and each dish and sake was perfectly presented and absolutely delicious. Our waiter was exceptionally knowledgeable and guided us along our experience expertly. It is pretty expensive but well worth it for a special occasion or if you feel like treating yourself to something not typically found in a restaurant. We will be back.

Brandon Ramsundar

Amazing experience. I went here for my birthday and felt right at home. The quality of the ingredients is extraordinary. Very happy I spent my time here, you won't be disappointed.

Ra Ha

I have been going to Shoushin since it opened. This is a truly exceptional place for Tokyo-Style sushi. The chef is gifted. He has devoted his life to perfect his craft. It doesn't matter that he is not japanese, he is talented and gifted. it is expensive because he doesn't compromise on quality. It is worth every penny.

Angela L

Fresh sushi and great atmosphere. A little pricey, so would recommend for special occasions. Decent chef experience too by the bar.

Ajaz H

Impressed by haughty chef who thinks he's in nyc? Live in the area and think that California roll is reat sushi? Then this is the place for you. Truth be told, the service is better than the food. The chef is delusional and thinks he's a master chef. Snarf

Casper Wong

We had a fantastic dinner experience here. Highly recommended if you're a sushi fan. Probably some of the best sushi we've had in Toronto. Service was exeptional and they have a great selection of sake. Setting is very minimalist and modern.

Richard Tang

I'm going to be a little picky about the review. The reason why it is a 4 instead of a 5 is because after comparing with some of the other high level Japanese restaurant, I felt that it didn't have too many memorable dishes. Dinner for 2 is about 750 and the some of the sushi dishes were too salty for our taste. I like the rice as they are more sour than sweet. The atmosphere is too social. I anticipate it as a more private and focused experience but shoushin attracts a younger crowd than some of the sushi bar in downtown. The dishes felt average for its price, not too many memorable experience and the environment is too social.

Vincent Wang

One of my top 3 Japanese restaurants list. The service is incomparable. From the moment you take a step inside until you leave the place. Server will greet you by your name you come here on a regular basis. And the chef can prepare unique dishes as your requests. Food is top notch, finest ingredients.

Marino Iurillo

Excellent food. Excellent service. Clientele is very odd... I swear there were Sugar Daddies in there... Don't let that discourage you, though. The food and atmosphere is excellent! Dress well, or you will feel out of place. Buy the set menu if you can afford it. Absolutely delicious!

Paula P

Great! My favourite was the pop rock sushi roll and crispy rice. The setting was moody and beautiful, and the music was ambient and sultry. Great date night and great experience. Good, attentive service throughout and really tasty food. Expensive but a worthwhile experience.

Mel Rose

Absolutely a great place. Amazing food. I came in for my birthday dinner with my husband. We had a seat at the bar, the service wasn't as good as I remembered, but our night was saved by one of the Managers Abud. He recommended great dishes and took great care of us. At the end of the meal he surprised us with the best desserts. Defiantly made my night.

Leslie Melcher

Very trendy; very cold and mechanical and expensive. But the food is excellent! So if you don't mind the price and the cool atmosphere, then enjoy the great sushi.

T C

The food here is delicious and innovative. The pop rock sushi is pretty cool, it pops in your mouth and you can even hear it as well. The service was a little slow but I love the ambiance and I will be back soon to try more of their dishes.

Steven Ngo

Took the misses here for her bday. Drinks/food came really fast. Great presentation and food taste delicious. Would definitely come back here for any occasion. One of the best spot to share food for those who are not looking for just 1 main dish. 5star!

Tasted good over all but the portion was horrible. I literally took 3 bites and I was done. They need to provide customers with at least 35% more noodle than the amount they currently provide. Price is bad considerring the tiny noodle portion.

WOW... I am left speechless after dining here. What an amazing experience, not only was the atmosphere BEAUTIFUL, but it was definitely the best sushi I have ever had. The fish is so fresh, you can really taste the quality. You will be spending a fair amount, however, for the quality it isnt too bad, ALSO it is worth it and the service was impeccable. Apparently they ship their fish in everyday fresh from Japan, you can really tell. Highly recommend.

A bit on the pricier side but I have to say I’ve enjoyed myself every time I’ve come. I’ve hosted in their private room and the service from start to finish was exceptional. Their pop rock shrimp is to DIE for, one of my favourites. They shake great drinks, the food is fantastic, ambience is nice, their patio used to be the famous Remy’s patio and they’ve converted it into a nice urban space. Great place for a date!

Divinely delectable! Went here with a group of 9 for a team dinner; upon arrival, they showed us around so we could find the optimal spot for our group. We were tired so our Server took charge and ordered for us...wow!!! From the brocolli tempura, to the spicy salmon on crispy rice to the pork belly buns, there wasn't a bad choice to be had. And dessert...only regret was that we shared this course! Recommend going with a group who is open to sharing and trying out stuff...leave the rest up to the experts at Kasa Moto!

Very nice place to go to on Yorkville. Music was too loud as you couldn’t hold a conversation with the person across from you but they lowered the volume on our request which was great. Food was a bit of a wait but quality was awesome. Everything was cooked perfectly.

Mel Bui

The place is really pretty inside and the food is tasty but for the price, I don't think its worth. The food is small portion but delicious for a high price but the sushi wasn't the greatest. Just my personal opinion. It was a nice experience but I don't think i'll be going there again.

I went here for the first time last weekend with my vegan friend and I was astonished at how yummy the food was. I heard many people talk about Kasa Moto before, and was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype - but I am so happy it did! We came all the way from Newmarket for the food as it's my friends favourite place and I'm so happy she took us there. Kasa Moto is a very good looking place, with a nice crowd and excellent service! Our food also came super fast, and our waiter was amazing! I will definitely be coming back as they have great options for all dietary needs and the workers were so sweet and helpful.

Great server, good food, nice decor. I thought Dan was a good server. Attentive and enthusiastic. The rock shrimp was ok, though I've had better at Milestones. The sauce was too mayonnaise-tasting and not enough spice. The fried chicken was tasty. The rolls were good but we felt they were rather small for the price. The décor inside is very nice.

Melika F

Love the food here, music is good. The patio is live during the summer time. The service is a bit slow though. Also portions are small keep that in mind.

Toni Blondell

First time at Kasa Moto. Amazing experience. Atmosphere was lively and the decor is beautiful. Food was delicious and well priced. Our server Roberts was personable and very attentive. Definitely recommend this place.

For anyone that’s been to Japan and has a love for sushi would understand that the temperature of the rice and fish should be perfect. The sushi rice was incredibly cold and it seemed like they were using it during a previous serving prior to us. Two separate chefs were using the same rice out of the same container. I mean it’s fine but aethetically it’s not pleasing. Also touching the rice often would mean the chemical reactions of the rice touching the skin would in fact change the flavouring of the rice. The fish felt like it was taken right out of the fridge. Normally at high end sushi restaurants, they change the rice several times during each sitting and they make sure to slice some fish in room temperature before serving. This was not the case and I had to complain to the chef that was serving me. He grabbed a handful of rice from another rice container which was also cold. I cannot stress more about the importance of sushi rice if you’re going to serve exceptional sushi at a high end place. The experience felt like more of a factory than a nice dinner. I hope they change this and take pride in what they’re doing vs just doing it (even though it gets repetitive). -sushi lover

Very fresh and high quality ingredients. Every dish was exquisitely prepared and well executed. The kitchen excluded meat/poultry and blue fin tuna from my order as per my request, and that did not affect the chefs' high standards a bit. My sister and brother-in-law have been long time patrons, and believe the restaurant is even better than before.

Keith Wong

Food was amazing... Truly an experience Having been to Japan this is very very close to our experience there Servers were all so friendly and informative. Breakout dish was the hand roll Would come back for special occasions!

Bunny Bugs

To be honest, I think the price was little bit high at night. However, the beef tongue and various of sushi was good. I enjoyed the atmosphere but I don’t think they provide a good services..

Mohamed El-Shanawany

Upscale traditional Japanese restaurant. Excellent service. Staff make honest recommendations to make sure that you have the experience you expect. Food is pricy but worth it. Their 3, 4 and 5 course menus are rich and tasty. Chef Jackie Lin humbly visted our table and took photos with us.

Howard Chong

Excellent Japanese sushi restaurant with high quality items. Very authentic and fair pricing given the quality of the ingredients. Not a place to go if you are looking for a low cost sushi place.

Tttt L

It's honestly so worth it! It's expensive but the food is top quality. The wagu beef melts in your mouth and the top grade tuna is like a dream come true. If falling in love could be put on a plate then this is it! the overall ambience is harmonious and peaceful. Would definitely recommend for a special date night or anniversary celebration! Intimate, cozy and superb service!

Barry Ip

One of the best authentic Japanese Restaurant in town. Top quality food. Price are at the higher end, but worth the amount paid. Great service too.

David Soegiarto

Amazing. The authentic experience from Vancouver. The taste is exceptionally a cut above all other Izakaya, the service is impeccable, and priced worth every penny. Will come back.

Flora

We got a group set menu, which someone did the math and we were overcharged. It's $35/pp where you share the dishes with one other person - $70/pair for $61 worth of dishes. They could have provided the birthday person a dessert, as we were a group of 16 that overpaid. I would have picked my own dishes instead of their choice of dishes. While it was filling, the food was ok and underwhelming. You can't go wrong with the deep fried chicken. The staff were great and the atmosphere was lively though!

Charlotte P

I love this place. Pricey if you go with a big appetite but worth it. The black kale was the best thing we ordered.

Ojashri Basnyat

It was buzzing with people even on a Wednesday night, and why wouldn’t it be? The service is awesome and the food is awesome! Variety of beautiful Japanese food and drinks, I enjoyed every particular dish we ordered. Can’t wait to go back! :)

Indre Ra

What an amazing place! Authentic flavours, very well executed with super friendly staff and great cooks. Cool place to hang out with friends, order a bunch of different plates and enjoy. Thank you for a perfect dinner!

Sebastian Campos

Heard about this place from a friend and didn't go for years. What a mistake that was!!! Wow! Spent about $120 on a bottle of sake along with 4 other items + 2 desserts. The food was absolutely incredible!! Highly recommend the cow tongue and the brie bibimbap. Staff was great - prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. This place is not for everyone - besides being pricey, it is very packed (we shared a long table with two other groups), and also has a very loud atmosphere (music, staff greeting and saying goodbye, cheering when people order sake bombs, etc.). It is a pub, after all!! Not your usual, quiet Japanese dining experience.

Patrick Jordan

Amazing atmosphere and staff. This is a really fun and cool place to eat. Authentic Japanese restaurant with delicious food options and some fun beverages. Good variety of Sake with tasting options.

Natasha Shadman

Great friendly service, great atmosphere, the food was nice but overpriced. Salmon sushi we got recommended was pretty tasteless, kaarage chicken was soft but quite greasy and minimal taste, jellyfish was average, Japanese pancake was nice... the beef kebab was delicious. $15 beers! A mixed experience but wouldn’t go back.

kristina rudzki

the quality of the fish was amazing. simple, elegant, sophisticated. the service was okay but did not match the quality of the food. it seemed like other servers were a bit better at explaining where the fish came from or what part of the fish we were eating, but ours didn't quite go there. overall was superb!

Casey Leung

Very interesting experience. You need to be there to appreciate the quality and freshness of the food served and attention paid to prepare them. I was afraid it's overhyped and waited a long time to try it. I really enjoyed the meal! It was expensive but I would say it's worth it. The owner -Yasu - apparently don't work here in Canada anymore so I guess I wouldn't know what I was missing if any.

YUKI TAKAI

I was disappointed by their response. I’m a repeater. One day I was sick and have to cancel. Of course, understand their cancel policy. So I’m not complaining about their cancel policy. They just keep telling me to have to take money from my credit card. Yes, ok. When I ask them any other options, they say nothing. Just take money from my credit card. I was wondering is it true that? And finally, I found out I’ve choices pick up sushi. Their price is not cheap. They should tell customers. Just my money is gone. I don't want to sprite my sick virus to them and their customers. That's why cancelled also explain that. If they telling me that then my family can pick it up.

George Sabba

Great seating when sat at the bar and from my last few experiences here, the chefs seem to be passionate, knowledgable, willing to answer questions and small talk while preparing your delicious sushi masterpieces. Very fresh fish and clean kitchen environment. Not the cheapest but hey, nothing is cheap these days ! Good experience and fun time with family and friends. 3.5- 4 STARS

Kiu So

The attention to detail was amazing. Each and every piece of the omakase was beautifully crafted and unique in its own way.

Alex Vincent

Best sushi I’ve ever had. Amazing value for what you’re paying. Would go back 100%

Mar Li

Hands down one of the best experiences in the city. Very unique and special dishes that are not comparable anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Fan Xie

It’s actually really filling. Reservation only My fav was their cheesecake texture like tamagotchi and black sesame ice cream Oh the plum sake was so good, sweet and sour taste

Lazar Bim

This place is great! Vibe - loud and tonnes of fun. People there were lively and the staff were having as much as fun as the patrons which I love to see. Food was delicious. There wasn't anything I didn't enjoy on the fixed menu. Drinks were great with some really unique choices including Japanese beers and sake as well as really delicious fruit and tea based cocktails. Easy to get to on transit and a blast when you're there.

Theresa Baumeister

We just happened to luckily find this place in our first evening here. First they have an awesome atmosphere and interior design, and you are welcomed very warmly you'll see. ;) They also have great food for a fair price and a menu which makes it easy to understand how the concept works (you can share some dishes and they explain you nicely what their dishes are in case you are not so much into Japanese food). Also there are daily specials so it never gets boring. We really enjoyed it a lot!

Nicole Trinidad

extremely friendly and attentive staff! they were very accommodating with the large group that i went with. aside from the excellent customer service, the food came out amazing and in a timely manner as well! will definitely come back again

Lorena Cevallos Salinas

The food at this restaurant is spectacular in terms of taste and presentation, as well as quality. The only disappointment is the service. Our meal took 45 minutes to arrive to our table, and the server never asked if we wanted a top up of water. If service improves, i will come much more often.

roustabout jones

Great atmosphere and service. Food was beautifully prepared and unique. Absolutely delicious! A superior restaurant experience! Would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and different Japanese experience in Toronto!

Clare Jones

Super fun and energised location for a great time. From the food experience to drinks, you will not be disappointed. There are a good number of vegetarian options. Definitely try a sake bomb!

Vadim L

I had a great experience here. Always greeted Izakaya-style and given the choice to sit at regular tables on the left or shoe-free seating area on the right where you take off your shoes and walk down a path to take your seat. Really unique experience. Food was great and staff was attentive and efficient. They gave a solid sake selection with daily food specials. I'll be back for sure!

Robert MacDonald

SAKE BOMB!! be prepared to be entertained and entertain your party in this wildly energetic and loud atmosphere. you can't beat the energy in this place. I was a little hung over and immediately started laughing because of the positive and playful staff. Would recommend for a fun night out out with friends.

Felisa Alhambra

A fave of mine in Scarborough. Ordered an Ultimate Bento. Super delicious and reasonably priced. Their complimentary salad is still the best I've had; that citrus vinaigrette is delicious. I have not tasted a salad dressing that comes close to bring that yummy! Would highly recommend.

Andy Singh

Seriously good quality food and great portions. Nicely decorated I think it is family owned and operated. Maybe I am wrong but they seemed very friendly with each other or maybe they are just a great team! It shows in the service and in the food. I love every single bite!

Kerry Joseph

Excellent fast service and delicious sushi! Ni Ji Sushi Japanese restaurant can easily be one of best sushi spots in Scarborough! The only issue I have is the lack of website development. An internet presence is crucial in today's society. It is a fabulous restaurant nonetheless.

Esther Lee

Great food! Got the Seafood Udon and it's one of the best compared to other sushi restaurants. Received free side dishes and it was delicious, especially the rice soup! Friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. First time there and definitely wouldn't be my last.

Shu Qing W

good food. good atmosphere. nice staff. decent price. just the parking lot is way too small.

Marcella Agustina

I've been their customer for years. Really love their sushi especially anything spicy. In this occasion we had spicy scallop, salmon, red dragon and green dragon. Price is reasonable considering it's sushi!

SVP

This is my to go place for Maki. I am buying party trays quite often and this place is amongst two favorite sushi restaurants of mine. Very decent quality for a reasonable price. They also have really comfy and neet sitting there.

Rafi Ali

My Fiance and I regularly go to this place to eat dinner. Very efficient, and good food. The servers are really nice. The only downside is there might be a big line at the entrance, so do plan ahead or Calla dn reserve.
