They have quite a few special roll options, though most were derivatives of California and Dynamic rolls. Tried the Lion King and Tataki Attack. Both were good with thin rice layers and relatively fresh seaweed wraps. I liked the Lion King better since it had more fillings. Chicken Karaage was so-so, more like pre-made chicken popcorn than authentic karaage. Shrimp Tempura was good - big shrimps wrapped in the thin, light and crispy batter. Service was great, the staff was very considerate - created a bigger space for us and added tea and napkins timely. Overall, a decent spot for sushi if you're in the area, but nothing that would make me drive across town.

This is a small family owned restaurant in Vaughan that has about half dozen small tables and a…read moresmall sushi bar that seats about 3 people. We showed up around 5:30 pm for an early dinner on Good Friday and still had to wait about half hour. What was ordered: Chicken karaage rice bowl Sushi and sashimi combo Sushi roll combo The verdict? The sashimi was good. Thick fresh slices. The roll (a version of California roll) was really disappointing. Way too much crab salad filler. The chicken karaage rice bowl was incredibly plain. Pieces of karaage on top of rice drizzled with mayo. The service was good but there wasn't enough to set them apart.

I ordered the dream platter and aburi Syaki oshi. I wasn't expecting it to be nicely packaged and it was a damn shame we threw them out but I almost felt like I paid for the extra nice packaging only to have it be tossed... but it does make an excellent gift for someone who really loves sushi! I wasn't expecting the gold leaf OR edible flower garnish at all. It was a very cute touch on this very snowy day. The oshi sort of fell apart everytime I picked it up which was a shame because it was nicely charred and sweet from the mango. Bit of a personal peeve but I don't think sushi should fall apart when you pick it up with a chopstick. I think it should stay in tact. Next time I'm gonna order takeout and have it delivered so I can feel like I had a nice package of sushi delivered

I always appreciate thoughtful packaging and solid execution, and this spot nails both. The sushi…read moreis consistently fresh and flavorful, with every roll hitting that sweet spot of texture, fish quality, and balanced seasoning. The Aburi Hamachi Oshi had a great char and was the standout because, honestly, blowtorched fish just wins every time. The Double Salmon Maki might look basic on paper, but it surprises me on every visit with how good it actually is. The seared butterfish in the Forbidden roll was rich and silky, and the seared scallop in The Fantasy roll was just as satisfying. No notes, just great sushi.

The place feels really quiet, cozy and welcoming which made the whole experience even better. This place offers a variety of sushi options, including omakase. They served hard to find sashimi and everything was super fresh. The sashimi quality was top tier. Tuna otoro and even a shellfish I couldn't name were so delicious. We were a party of 2, so we asked for smaller portions with more sashimi and sushi instead of rolls when we ordered $100 platter, and they were happy to adjust it for us. Before the platter came out, we were served warm tea and a bowl of miso soup, which was a nice touch. The food overall was amazing, and the service was exceptional. Don't be afraid to ask for any adjustments they're very accommodating. It's not a fancy place but rather an affordable and casual restaurant. I can already tell this will be my favorite sushi spot in Vaughan!

Please don't be fooled by their decor as it is not fancy but a good restaurant is all about the food at the end of the day and this place just nails that part. I was never really a sashimi fan. If it's there, I will eat some but I don't crave or actively look for one. This place totally changed me! The chef is so skilled and knowledgeable in his seafood. You can never get this quality of food at such reasonable price anywhere else. The chef and his staffs are always so kind and inviting. I love that the chef enjoys engaging with us to share his passion for the quality fish. We always orders omakase and let the chef decide what to feed us and oh my he never disappoints. It takes me 1.5hrs to get there but it's so worth the trip. Everything he makes tastes fresh and awesome. I love this place and want to brag about it but also at the same time want to keep it to myself as my little secret lol

The fish quality is obviously really good, and each slice had that subtle sweetness that only really fresh produce have.

I also really enjoyed the hot tea even though it was an extra charge. I will definitely be back.

The takoyaki was a great appetizer to share. Ordered a sushi boat to share for dinner on a seperate occasion and the sushi was fresh. I would recommend to try this place if your in the area. Be sure to call to check if there's tables available before arriving or if they are opened. I had attempted to come on another day but could not get a hold to confirm whether they were opened or not so definitely call to double check.

The owners of the place are Korean and are very decent. As of the moment, take-out is only offered due to COVID-19. And if you pay by cash, it's 20% off. I had the combo for the 'salmon lover' and the meat gyoza from the appetizer list of options. The combo included miso soup and a mini salad. With everything combined, it was under $20 and I was very fulfilled afterwards. Pretty decent for a tiny place smack in the middle of Concord. I'll be back for more, if I don't bring a lunch or I forget it. And I'll recommend SUSHI LOLO to anyone else in the region. Support your local businesses everyone!

I visited here for a baby shower recently this weekend. It's a central spot smack in the middle of…read moreGTA between highway 407 and 400 next to the Costco with a gas station. It's a perfect place for a large gathering especially if you have people coming west, east, south and maybe even out of town as there is plenty of parking. The place is spacious, modern and uncrowded so you can easily set up a spot for a balloon arch. The service is also really nice and friendly. I've been to the Colossus area many times before but never thought to stop by at this restaurant. I didn't even know they have an option for all you can eat until I visited recently. For All-You-Can-Eat weekend lunch it was about $30~ according to their site, which is really reasonable considering prices these days. It included sushi and sashimi and it was pretty fresh and some kitchen items too. Their cooked dishes for AYCE is kinda big so I didn't get to try as many things. However, from the few I've tried including nibbling their sample appetizers, tempura and other items it's pretty good. If you want to be adventurous, they even have escargot too! The escargot was buttery and not too salty. The Pad Thai is a more Canadian/Americanized version with a bit of tang from the ketchup but still tasty regardless. The staff was nice and friendly and we didn't really feel rushed out as it didn't seem too busy. We booked from 1-3:30pm/4pm. I think it's a great spot to host your special gathering and also allow your guests to choose whatever they want to eat. The only thing is they punch all your orders for you on the ipad and we don't get to punch it in ourselves. I feel like the physical menu they showed us for all you can eat is much more limited than what we can actually order. So definitely ask your server and see what else there is. For example there wasn't any dessert menu so you have to ask about all the desserts. They will offer ice cream by default but definitely recommend getting a fried banana and sesame ball with it.

When we first walked in, i noticed the place had a cool asian inspired look with plently of seating. The Sushi part of the ayce menu was very dissappointing. The rice was over cooked and mushy. So bad that I had to take the fish off the rice to eat. Unfortunately it was the worst much the worst sushi I had in a while. Very dissapointing. The non-Japanese food we had was actaully pretty good. We ordered, wings, short beef rib, tempura, coconut shrimp, beef pad thai. My favourite was the thick curry tiger shrimp and the curry pumpkin soup (they kinda tasted the same), but both very tasty. I will say the service was very good. Servers were friendly and attentive. Although, they still did they old school took orders by hand, rather than with iPads like other restaurants, which didn't seem efficient.

The moment you walk in, one detail that stood out to me was the Mahayana Buddhist altar blessing the owner and visitors with health and prosperity. As a Taiwanese person, that instantly felt relatable and oddly comforting--like being welcomed into someone's home. Although the restaurant is Vietnamese-owned, the Japanese food here is absolutely top-notch. I've visited three times so far, and the quality of their bento boxes has been impressively consistent every single time. My personal favorite is the chicken katsu bento. The chicken is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Unlike many places where chicken katsu can end up greasy or heavy, Ikigai's version is perfectly crispy and airy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. Paired with their tangy, addictive katsu sauce, every bite just makes you want the next one immediately. I'm also a big fan of their maki rolls and tempura. You can genuinely taste the care and quality in the food--even the side salad and miso soup feel thoughtfully prepared. Considering the quality, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. The bento box is around $20 if you pay cash, which feels like a great deal. The space itself is cozy, spotless, and welcoming, and the service has always been excellent. I genuinely love this place and will definitely keep coming back.

The plaza was something…read moreelse since every store there had obsidian black signs in unison, so you couldn't even tell what was what if you were driving past by (you would've probably thought that they were all the same store/or some industrial park). Kin Sushi was absurdly connected to a Money Mart and a computer store, and it looked like they all shared the same entrance since everything was black. I'm not sure what happened there, but that was really bad (or good) marketing. If it were the plaza owner's rule, that's just really silly, and the stores should have said something about it. The interior of the sushi spot was pretty nice doe - very spacious and clean, though it still had some sushi smells. I wanted something light so I ordered the sashimi bento. Overall the fish was fresh, and the salad & the miso soup were delicious. I really liked the torched fish sashimi (which I think was hamachi?) otherwise it was a very standard sushi meal, with lots of edamame. It was not big (about 18-19 dollars, including taxes), but it was exactly what I needed. I'd go with something else if I were hungry, though. 3.5/5 for my experience (I still gave it 4 stars because I saw the potential of other menu items)
