Unique fusion flavors and textures! Beautiful specialty sushi rolls! Cool drinks served out of a box that releases smoke as it is opened and presented to you at your table. Quite a show. Friendly service. Overal enjoyable experience. Small but cozy space. Downside: typical downtown core parking.

I came to Flame Sushi for my friend's bday, and left with a happy smile. They have chef's menu for 3 course and 5 course for $50 and we all chose the 5 course menu. I had: - peach whiskey crush which was amazing - miso soup - hamachi tataki - nice and light - soft shell crab roll - work of art!!! - Barack chirashi don - the freshest seafood - an array of desserts We all left satisfied.

We had the opportunity yo try the Winter tasting menu last year and it didn't disappoint. The presentation is very pretty and the food tasted better than it looks. The front part of the restaurant is very busy and we absolutely loved the seating area at the back, it's perfect for groups or for a date night. We enjoyed some sushi, bao, tataki, fancy cocktails and desserts. The reastaurant has a modern decor and dim lighting. Parking can be challenging to find co it's on queen st. It's totally worth visiting if you're looking for a cozy date night spot.

This was a very delicious salad with different types of fish in it

The food was extremely good I loved all of it the presentation it was amazing. Service was excellent I would like to point out Kate especially she was so happy to answer all of my questions and just seemed like a really nice person I definitely recommend her as your waitress. The environment of the restaurant was amazing was a busy yes but that gave it life.

Ive been wanting to visit this place and try their course menu. Finally grabbed a girlfriend and checked it off my list! They offer a 3-course for $38 and 5-course for $50! And they change the menu every season, so there will be new items on the menu. Presentation was 10/10. Some dishes were above expectations. Overall, enjoyed it and will come back!

Salmon oshi

They made the most of the place. Making an objectively small area feel open and comfortable with mirrors. I appreciated the effort they put into the menu... many unique item rather than standard fare you see at many other places. Kalbi was OK... flavor was too subtle. One of our favorites was the Snow Dragon roll... the beet sauce didn't taste anything like beets... but this is coming from someone that doesn't like beets. It had a nice flavor and the roasted sesame and garlic played huge supporting roles in making this a great dish. Another favorite of the table was the Salmon oshi... love the torched salmon it releases some smokey flavor. Buttery in taste and texture. Dynamite roll was also only ok... 5 pcs of deep fried roll with imitation crab and shrimp tempura. Service was just a bit on the slow side despite having what seems life adequate staff 3 servers and front of house manager pitching in and 2 chefs on the sushi bar with a non full capacity dining room. They were attentive watching it drink glasses and helpful with menu questions. Overall 3.5 but with some tweaks could be a 4. It's not cheap but not expensive. Almost has the value for flavor equation right.

AMAZING! my friends and I went here for their 5 course + 1 drink spring menu for $50/person - everyone in your party has to get it I was satisfied with the food and portion sizes. The only thing I didn't enjoy were the tacos - didn't have much flavor for me. I felt the sauce masked everything. My bf isn't a sushi lover but he's keen on trying this place because of the other options that they have which were executed well imo The service was speedy and friendly, the decor gave off a romantic ambience. You wouldn't be disappointed dining here!

Customers can enjoy the spring tasting menu at a more affordable price. Two menus are available ($38 / $50), and each is sure to satisfy your cravings for elevated Japanese food. Overall, I love the vibe, service, and their offerings. My favorites are the chirashi, risotto, yuzu martini, and dessert.

Oysters

Flame Sushi had a special for TIFF where if you buy a drink, you were able to get $1 oysters. I am always seeking out new buck a shuck deals so I came with a few friends and were not disappointed. The oysters were nicely sized and came out quickly. We ordered a few drinks, though nothing in particular stood out. I also ordered some salmon oshi, which was delicious! The restaurant wasn't busy on a Friday after work, and the service was solid. Overall, we had a good time. I'd come back to try their other specials, as they certainly have good value.

Very tasty! I love the presentation and smell when the lid is lifted from their imagined bowl. They have a tasting menu 3 courses with appetizer, main and a dessert for $38 and a 5 course tasting menu which includes a drink for $50. Quality and presentation is great and the price is reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

I've walked by Flame Sushi many times, but finally got an opportunity to check it out on New Year's Eve. We reserved for a party of 7, and were seated at a table near the bar. We were interested in the tasting menu, which was listed at 50% off for $50. I'm not sure when it is not $50, as many reviews mention the same price. Since we had 7 people, we decided to order as much variety as possible from each course. My favourites were the sous-vide duck breast and mushroom shrimp. I wish there were more mocktail options, but the drinks came out with quite some flare. For a restaurant that seems to focus quite a bit on aesthetics, I was pleasantly surprised that flavours were still up to par (contrary to some other places). At one point we felt like food was coming out too quickly, so I wish they saw the full table and slowed down service, but all was well after we requested that dishes come out after the previous set was completed. At the 'discounted' rate, I think Flame Sushi was well worth its value.

Tried the 5-course Summer Tasting Menu at Flame Sushi for $50 and it was absolutely fantastic! Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The environment was clean with a lovely interior design that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. All the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely planning to visit again, highly recommend checking it out before the summer menu ends! (Promo end likes end of June)

Yuzuki - Premium sushi set

This place has potential. I have had a couple of deliveries from them and being in close proximity…read moreI have gotten to enjoy my sushi within the grace period (imo sushi doesn't lend itself to sitting around and should be consumed quickly after assembly) They are priced on the higher side and can get pretty pricey if one wants to indulge (uni galore) The food is packaged well. The nigiri was decent on both deliveries with the rolls being a tad above average. I was tempted to order a bowl but wanted a more filling option. With my go to spot for sushi delivery not showing any signs of revival. This might fill the void for now. 3.5 stars

Located a few doors down to the right of the W hotel. The fish is exceptionally fresh and of premium quality, with every bite melting in your mouth. The chefs clearly prioritize quality and authenticity, and each dish is beautifully presented. The menu includes delicate cuts of fatty tuna (otoro and chutoro), buttery Hokkaido uni, and beautifully marbled salmon that practically melts in your mouth. They also serve rarer options like golden eye snapper (kinmedai) and amberjack, Otoro, chutoro, unagi, amago, and more; each prepared to highlight its unique flavors and textures. The chefs at Yuzuki use traditional methods like aging and lightly searing certain cuts, enhancing the natural flavors of the fish without overwhelming it. Every bite showcases freshness and expertise, making it a must-visit for sushi enthusiasts. Yuzuki in Toronto is a gem for sushi lovers. From the moment you enter, the elegant ambiance and servers in traditional kimonos set a refined tone. The service is impeccable--attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Yuzuki provides a truly authentic and luxurious sushi experience, perfect for special occasions or anyone looking to indulge in top-tier Japanese cuisine in Toronto. Highly recommended!

Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for something a little more refined.

There were three add-ons (toro with caviar $25, uni with caviar $35, and caviar sushi). I opted in for the toro and uni add-ons. It was strange they give you the add-ons before any other nigiri. Everything was very good and fresh. Standouts for me was the appetizer, all three cuts of bluefin tuna, the lobster (by far my favorite), and the hotaru ika. I would've appreciated knowing that the omakase included or not included toro and uni before I decided on the add-ons but I don't regret it. It was a splurge night after all. Service was very attentive. Note that the dining space is very small. 12 seats around the counter and two tables. There was a very loud gentleman two seats from me who never learned to use his inside voice and totally ruined vibe. But that's not on the staff. Another note is that gratuity is automatic on the bill.

The space itself leans more modern and clean rather than the typical dark, cozy izakaya vibe, which I actually didn't mind. It felt comfortable, not too loud, and easy to settle into for a slow dinner. We ordered a mix of small plates to share, and everything came out looking nicely put together. The aburi-style salmon sushi was one of the highlights for me.. lightly seared, with a soft texture and just enough flavor on top without being overwhelming. The tuna tataki was also fresh and clean, simple but well done. Some of the fried dishes leaned a bit richer with the creamy sauces, but they were still enjoyable, especially if you're in the mood for something a little more indulgent. The beef fried rice was straightforward but satisfying, one of those dishes that's easy to keep going back to between everything else. Drinks were a nice touch too.. refreshing, nicely presented, and added to the overall experience. Overall, this feels like a solid spot for a casual night out with friends. It's not overly traditional, but it's easygoing, shareable, and comfortable.. the kind of place you'd come back to when you just want good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great spot for small plates and drinks!…read more Love the vibes here. It really does remind me of Japanese izakaya. Their pressed sushi is a signature! Dont skip on the karaage cuz the sauce with a onsen egg is bomb! It can get busy and its a small place. So go early!
