    Yam tempura roll and Vege dragon roll
    Danny H.

    Service was friendly as soon as we walked in. The place was crowded, almost full when arrived. The dining area is small but didn't feel crowded. Bathrooms are in a hallway through main door, and you must use a key. They are, however, clean and bright. Miso (7/10): Came with our meal. It was plenty salty, but there was no tofu or seaweed in my bowl. Also didn't get a spoon. Not a big deal, but odd to me Green salad (7/10): The salad was tasty jverall, but it was quite small. Fresh iceberg lettuce and ginger dressing was great. I just wish there was more. Green tea (9/10): I legitimately don't know what's different about this tea, but it's some of the best I've ever had. Free refills are the best. Vege dragon roll (7.5/10): Disclaimer, this is mostly because I don't love cucumber, but I shared the roll and didn't want to alter it. It's crazy how much you can taste the lettuce. I really enjoyed the sweet tofu. And can we talk about the sesame? So good. Avocado roll (10/10): WHO IS YOUR AVOCADO GUY Vege roll (8.5/10): See Avocado roll + pickled radish. Great combo for a roll. Yam tempura roll (8.5/10): I always love a crunchy roll, especially yams (sweet potato). This was warm and packed full with plenty of crunch. Very well done. Edamame (8.5/10): Steamed with salt, this dish was simple yet done so well. A great start to our meal.

    Avocado Sushi is a good spot for casual sushi close to Midtown Toronto, near Bay and Charles Street. It's obviously not a top tier place, but for the money, it's a solid spot. I've been there three times now, and each time has been pretty good. We've gotten the takeout party tray, which is a great deal at only about $45 for 38 pieces. The restaurant is very modern and clean, which makes it feel very welcoming. One issue is that for takeout orders, they take a lot longer than quoted. Often, the sushi is more than 30 minutes late to be ready for take out. I was told that it would be ready in 20-25 minutes, and it took nearly 50 minutes. This isn't a dealbreaker, but just keep this in mind. Try to order early is possible. In terms of food, everything was as expected. The fish was fresh, the rice was good, and there were no major complaints overall. Again, this isn't a Miku or a Jabistro, but it's great mid-level quality sushi. If you're in the area looking for a good sushi at a fair price, Avocado Sushi is the place to be! 4/5

    The food here isn't bad by all means, but I found it to be extremely overpriced. I ordered a small sushi platter for pickup thinking that it was $38+ tax. They don't have a website or updated menu online so I guess I was looking at an older version of the menu. When I got there, I was surprised that my total came to about $50 for 5 or 6 pretty basic rolls like California, cucumber avocado, yam rolls, spicy salmon etc. I guess they increased the prices by a couple dollars recently. The place is pretty small and clean but their prices aren't really justified imo. There are so many other sushi places in dt core that are more fairly priced and of similar quality.

    I live in Yorkville and see this little restaurant every day when I walk home from work, but I've never stopped by until today. A friend and I decided to check it out, and I was very happy with the service we received! The waitress took our order quickly, and the food was brought out within 5 minutes of placing the order. While we were waiting for the food, they even gave us both a bowl of miso soup to enjoy. The soup was perfect texture and not too overpowering. My friend ordered the BBQ Eel Dragon Roll - definitely recommend. It was the perfect balance of crunchy but sweet. I was expected it to be slimy, but it wasn't at all! I ordered the avocado yam vegetarian Dragon Roll, but was slightly disappointed. It was a little dry compared to other places and was not nearly as flavorful.

    I did not expect this at all! Tucked away on Bay street, this tiny little restaurant really impressed me tonight. I came here with 3 others and they all ordered bento boxes, while I ordered a combination sushi + salmon dragon roll set. To my disappointment, their meals came with seaweed salad but mine came with a regular romaine lettuce salad so when the waiter saw my facial expression go from excitement to sadness, he generously offered me one on the house! What great service! When my food came, my mouth instantly started to water. The presentation was very well done with bright, fresh colours and the salmon dragon roll pieces were fairly large. I took a bite into the salmon sushi first and WOW. The salmon was buttery and melted in my mouth - I really didn't anticipate that level of quality! The portions of everything, including slices of sashimi and avocado, were overall very generous and I would definitely come back! It's a bit pricey (my set was $17 before tax and tips) but it was definitely worth it!

    Their menu has a monkey on it!

    This place is FABULOUS! When we came on a weekday evening, there were barely any customers. Most of them ordered takeout, which is what I would like to do next time simply because I like to eat at home more. The waiter was really nice- not really attentive, but very nice. We ordered a bunch of rolls and sashimi, which came with miso soup and salad. The miso soup was kind of watered down, but as we all know the main attraction is the fish. The appetizer sashimi had small but incredibly fresh and soft slices. It had tuna, salmon and I think cuttlefish? We waited for quite some time for our rolls, but that's because they put all of our orders onto one plate! Everything looked so pretty and fried to perfection. Just thinking about it makes me hungry again. They gave us candy while we were paying, and the total amount was kind of expensive. However, they have really good combos (e.g. 10 sashimi, 15 rolls, 18 sushi is one combo) for around $30~$40, so I would definitely get that next time! We paid $50 (inc. tax and tips) for 4 dishes. I love it here, and I'll definitely order more food next time! (p.s. people seemed to have a bad experience with the teriyaki here so I didn't try it, and I don't plan on it either. The sashimi and rolls are really tasty!)

    Free salad

    The server was very attentive! She always checked up on us. The food was good but not really worth the price. I got the combo with vegetable udon noodles and veggie rolls ($14), and my gm got the vegetable udon only($8). We found it tasted pretty good, I especially appreciated the chili flakes that came on the side. We also got edamame which was kinda pricy in my opinion ($4). I went with my godmother here to catch up and it's a nice intimate spot, and it wasn't really busy when we were there during dinner time. My godmother says that during lunch they're a bit busier, but it's hit or miss depending on the day so plan accordingly if you're planning on coming during lunch.

    Soup, tea, avocado salad, sashimi appetizer and a little treat on the side from the chef, a big avocado roll :)

    If you're looking for good customer service and great food ( most importantly fresh), then I highly recommend this place. First off, if you're an avocado lover than this is a perfect place to eat. The name is what drew me to this place. I ordered the avocado salad, avocado yam rolls and sashimi every time I've came. The portions are very good not to small but enough to keep you satisfied and light. Not only the avocado was what kept me going back, but the staff are so genuine and they truly value their customers. After the third day coming straight, Michael (the owner) left his cooking station and came over to introduce himself and say how much he really appreciated that I kept coming back. How could I not? One time he even gave me an avocado just before I left, since than he always greeted me by my name. Overall the place is small but cosy, great atmosphere with pleasant music, and a great place to eat either alone or group. Nothing but postive things to say.

    Love their vegan/vegetarian rolls! I live close so I always come here for a quick bite, and their vegetarian roll is soooo good. They also don't skimp on avocado, and they have this roll that has pickled veggies which is so good. They also have a brown rice option ($1 extra) which is I think better than the white rice.

    Usually come here for dinner, but came for lunch this time. I got the Sushi and Sashimi Lunch combo B. They have good portion sizes and a wide variety. It's a fairly small restaurant with relatively quick service.

    Coworker and I came here on a whim for a Friday lunch. Atmosphere: fairly small with 5-6 tables, but fairly pretty. Menus are printed on quality paper. 3/5 Food: pretty good. I got Bento Box 3, which included chicken teriyaki, California roll (I substituted spicy salmon for $1 extra), 7 PCs sashimi, gyoza and your standard green salad and miso soup. The sashimi was very fresh and tasty, however the chicken teriyaki was just okay. It wasn't grilled so it didn't have that smokey flavour/feel teriyaki it should have. 3.5/5 for food. Service: tea was filled up often but the wait for food was slightly long - about 20 minutes. 2.5/5 Verdict: I'd probably come back and order takeout sashimi ahead of time. Still solid.

    This sushi place is quite small and has a simple decor when you go inside. The menu had very good Japanese dishes including Yaki udons, sashimi, sushi, tempura, and terriyaki sets. The service was very quick and attentive and the food came out quickly too. I had Combination Set G where I had 7 pieces of nigiri, 10 unique sashimi, and spicy salmon hand roll. I thought the nigiri and sashimi sets were very good and the fish was fresh. The spicy salmon hand roll was not spicy though and it tasted more like a tempura hand roll. The spicy salmon hand roll was also not rolled too tightly so the hand roll fell apart easily. I think the combination set was a little bit pricy but for the quality of fish, it is reasonable. As well, there are not many a la carte sushi places in Toronto and this place is definitely a good choice for it if you're not feeling all you can eat with a relatively reasonable price and menu. I will definitely come again to try other specialty rolls and the yaki udons next time.

    Set A Sushi Lunch ($12.5) - Part 2
    Winnie M.

    My friend and I came here for a Friday lunch. This place is extremely understaffed; only one waiter for pretty much everything. The food here is also overpriced for its quality and quantity. We both got the Set A sushi lunch which included a miso soup, salad (both average), 6 pieces of spicy salmon and California sushi each. The sushi was quite yummy, but the slow service + overpriced food = not returning to this place anytime soon.

There's no reservation system but they do have a waitlist on Yelp which gets you in line (highly recommended). First to know is you can't pay with credit card here--there's an ATM in the front of the restaurant. As far as the restaurant goes, it was fantastic from start to finish. Our table of 4 was seated and serviced by 1 main staff member, Lydia, who talked us through the whole menu and ordering system, recommended some great starts and then kept us frequently updated all throughout dinner. She checked up on us along with her assistants who were also bringing items and servicing the table. The food quality was excellent with juicy and flavorful cuts of beef along with the shrimp, pork, veggies, side dishes/ponchon, and rice--it kept coming consistently. Grill changes were frequent as well. The atmosphere is lively and there are a lot of servers so you aren't trying get someone's attention all the time. But it doesn't feel too cramped at the same time. As it is AYCE, everyone in our group left full of course and enjoyed each course. I liked the almond tofu at the end! ----TL;DR---- Pros: great selection of meats, quality was top notch, huge portions of course as it is AYCE, service was prompt and all staff were really friendly. Cons: no reservations so need to be on a waitlist. The no credit card system is a bit of an inconvenience. Bottom Line: we loved it--definitely would go back again and enjoy more of their selections! You have to try them if you like meat and AYCE!

It's my go-to spot to get my don fix - I love the wide variety of dons (rice bowls) that they offer with various fish and seafood combinations. There are also unique appetizers in the menu, such as Purple Yam Croquettes, Crab Crackers, Braised Bamboo Shoots with Shirasu (immature whitebait fish), and Takowasa (marinated raw octopus pieces, to be eaten with or wrapped in nori / seaweed). Although the dons are the main highlight of their menu (hence the restaurant name), they also offer traditional sushi, sashimi, sushi rolls and sets (similar to other Japanese sushi restaurants). Miso Aburi Scallops were very flavourful - nicely torched, giving the scallops a nice grill / char taste. They came with red and green seaweed, and a bit of fish roe. Large Premium Hana Don contained a good amount of fish and seafood, including a whole abalone, uni, shrimp in the shell, aburi salmon, ikura (salmon roe), salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, other various fish sashimi, tamago (egg), and a few slices of cucumber on a generous bed of rice. I liked that the rice was a mix of white rice and some type of dark-coloured grains. Unatama Don came with a big piece of unagi and tamago (egg) that were both excellent. The sashimi were all fresh. Okonomiyaki was disappointing but it was sort of expected... for only $9, it was about 99% just flour pan-fried in a patty, without any substantial fillings (unlike real okonomiyaki, which usually contains protein / seafood, cabbage, eggs, and other ingredients).

What I really liked was that they had 3 options of warm water - Hot, Warm, and room temperature. Instinctively I knew this place cared about the clients digestive health. Though I'm sure if you asked for ice water, they would accommodate (my friend asked for no sauces in her maki roll). The fishes were plated very pretty and because it's sushi of course it tasted good. But I was surprised at the level of wasabi that was plated. Cleared up my sinuses for 30 seconds. The establishment is very clean and bright and a great place to head to if you're in a rush.

We got a bunch of dishes to share and overall liked most things but some things (like the oyster) unfortunately didn't hit as well. Wagyu - thin slices but very tender and very flavorful with the cheese - surprised by how well the flavor combo worked out. Tofu - easily one of my fave agedashi tofu. Huge tofu slices with very chewy outer texture, a bit gelatinous . Really went well with the sauce and toppings Carbonara - nice chewy texture to the udon, not too soft and not too firm. The sauce was nice and creamy. Not as truffley as I thought it would be, wish it was a little more but it was still pretty good Oyster - least favorite of all the dishes we got today. It was a bit sour and the cheese felt like it didn't really help the flavor profile of the oysters. It was super oily from the cheese, felt like it was drowning in cheese/oil flavor Cod - it looks good but something is lacking, maybe in taste? Feel like maybe the marinade did not penetrate enough. The texture is still nice and soft , with a crisp skin . Also was a bit too oily for our liking, compared to other miso cod we have had. It was also a relatively smaller piece of cod. Overall, the appetizers were really good! The oyster and cod were a bit disappointing. Would come back for the carbonara and the other appetizers mentioned though!
