My go-to in the neighborhood for a sit down lunch. Friendly and helpful family run this small joint. The food is good, clean tasting, and delicious. My go to is usually the sashimi combo, the hubby usually has the veggie ramen. The kids have tried all the different rolls and they are always satisfied. The place is also clean and generally quiet. I also love the little scoop of ice cream they serve to finish on a sweet note! read more

FuZen - Sashimi combo (minus butter fish as I can't tolerate it). - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

For what you get it is very expensive compared to all the other offerings on Skip The Dishes. The avocado and Unagi Maki was made so poorly; I think they have three-year-olds in the back making it. Also, there was hardly any Unagi in it and certainly not enough to taste it. I took the nice enough sashimi and put it into boiling miso soup along with the spiralized beat and spiralized carrot that came with it. In two minutes, the fish was cooked and everything was warm as I didn't feel like eating cold food. I added some avocado and the lightly steamed broccoli from the salad and it made a beautiful soup, but I did do the work! For such an expensive avocado salad, they should at least chop the iceberg into shreds so it's easier to eat than. Trying to get one leaf that is as big as your face into your mouth is not easy. Presentation on everything except the sashimi was subpar. This meal was 45+ dollars and I can't see it having more than 500 calories, which is enough for a small meal or a snack. read more

Gotta love a neighbourhood Japanese Sushi restaurant. Situated on Front Street, it is near all the tourist attractions. When life was normal, you could zip into this place for a quick bite before heading to your next destination. I just so happen to walk past this joint on my home from work everyday, and also am very thankful they are still open during the pandemic. I will not lie. I am a creature of habit and I always order the Chirashi dinner. I love how there's a generous amount of slices of fresh fish variety on the sushi rice. It comes with a salad and soup. And also they will give an appertizer on the house as well out of the kindness of their heart. They have always been very polite and efficient with their service. I give them many thumbs up lol. read more

Pros: - Very fast and attentive service. Food comes out minutes after you order. - This place is quieter and not as crowded as a lot of the other sushi restaurants in downtown. There is also ample space between tables, making it ideal to carry out conversations. - Menu selection is pretty good - it has the standard sushi rolls, a la carte sushi and sashimi, udon noodles, don buri (rice bowls), and some combo / set meals that include miso soup and small green salad. Cons: - Not really a con, but the food is just average... on par with most other fast-serve and casual sushi restaurants out there. read more

Very friendly service. Good food. Discount for cash. They sometimes add a free order of gyoza to my order.

Maybe the rent is higher on Front street but the prices were a bit high for a sushi restaurant. I felt theres plenty of other sushi places downtown that would taste better and fresher for the same price (or cheaper). Food didn't wow me like other places. read more

We were excited to try this place for a la carte sushi because of the yelp reviews but it's nothing out of the ordinary for me and here's why: 1) sushi in itself was OK, all the rolls specials had one California roll and another roll of your choice. So nothing super fancy. 2) the bill for a sushi combo and chirashi bowl came down to $50 which is definitely a lot more than expected considering the food was mediocre and options were rather limited. So overall, for the price I would say this place is not worth the buzz. read more

I came before a Leafs game and wasn't disappointed! The nigiri was good and their sushi rolls were even better. I really enjoyed their red dragon rolls! The fish was fresh and I love that there wasn't too much rice. I couldn't get enough! The tempura was also quite good. Not too much batter and not overly greasy. The only negative was the service. It wasn't bad but the waitress didn't seem all that interested in serving us or other customers. Overall, I quite enjoyed my dinner here. Would definitely go back! read more

Very medium sadly. With the prices being so wildly expensive we thought it must be good. A spider roll was almost 20$ but it tasted like it should be 12$. Nothing seemed particularly fresh or well put together. It wasn't awful and not one got sick so I guess that's something but I wouldn't go back unless I had to. We had tempura and two rolls and out bill was 60$. read more

Excellent quality of sushi - it is quite obvious by the salmon sashimi. I also got to sample the crunchy noodle soup, which in itself is phenomenal. I am definitely returning with more people! When I do I shall update this review. read more

Tasty and well priced sushi. Great bento box deals for lunch give you more than enough. read more

First time trying this place tonight because of the good reviews on Yelp. I ordered a salmon teriyaki dinner and eel & avocado roll for take out. Upon opening the clam-shell box of sushi roll I was disappointed. It was tiny and sloppy looking. I thought maybe it tastes good without the look. The eels were mushy like a paste. I couldn't tell that was eel if it wasn't the unagi sauce. Move on to the main, the salmon was way overlooked and I chewed it like I was eating meat (if I wanted meat I'd order chicken teriyaki!). The salmon was tasteless itself beside drenched with teriyaki sauce on a bed of raw cabbage. The edamame is the same, tasteless. Not even a single grain of salt. They are completely skipping out seasoning the food by soaking them with store bought sauces and totally cheap out on the quantity and quality of food. I wasn't expecting authentic Japanese food and know well most sushi places are run by not Japanese Asians. But even with this knowledge it's just terrible tasting and small portion food to serve in downtown Toronto for the price they charged. The worst $24 spent for a one person meal ever! read more

Good for a simple sushi dinner or lunch. The walk in special is a good deal. The basic rolls are fine. The in house specials are a better choice. read more

Unbelievable service and so so fresh ! Found by chance as I was driving by. Popped in while parked out front - paid for takeout and they brought it to my truck with a big smile - highly recommend. read more

Very friendly service from everyone. Cozy and clean with good quality sushi. Price is in line with the area, i.e. is not very cheap. That said, I'd still go back when in area cause of the friendly service! read more

FuZen - Looks fairly clean and neat. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

-This review is for takeout sushi only- Ordered spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls. Fast order and the rolls are actually quite delicious with a bit of tempura crunch inside. The spice level is mild but I like the chunks of fish which give a nice texture. Sushi rice is flavorful and not too thick on the roll which is a plus in my opinion! read more

This place is for tourists, not for local. This place is overpriced, the service is quite good tho. The quality of the food is not even fitting the price. Will never come again. read more

The quality and portion of the food was not worth it. The chicken teriyaki was dry. The salmon heaven? More like the salmon hell. The quality and the amount of salmon was not worth the price, some other places that charge almost half the price give better quality fish. read more

Medicore. The prices are rather high for the quality and portions they serve... Also when I went there were a lot of fruit flies, they even landed in my water cup and if I wasn't paying attention I could have ingested those! Yuck! read more

Ridiculous pricing for what it is. I was actually thinking of leaving after reading the menu. But I didn't. I stayed and ordered a beef teriyaki. Had a few bites of the food, then I regretted not leaving. Halfway through my meal, two more groups came in. I have never seen any tables leaving so quickly. One table ordered something (I couldn't see what) and was already on their way out after 10 minutes. The other table of two left without ordering anything. Two stars instead of one because they "included" ice cream as dessert in my meal. read more

We came here on a Sunday evening (we had meant to go to St Lawrence Market but they're closed on sundays who knew). Our meals came with a lot of complimentary items! Apparently green tea doesn't cost extra (so we all shamefully changed our water orders to tea) and everyone got a little soup. They also gave us an order of fried gyoza on the house! And each a little scoop of red bean ice cream. So niceeee. We all enjoyed our meals, portions were decent (we're American too so we expect large). Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the meal a lot! read more

The restaurant is very cozy and authentic. You get soup and salad included with your meal. For the the price you pay you get a full plate of full filling food, especially with the hot plates ( salmon and beef teriyaki and the chicken Katsu) and amazing quality. read more

I've been to FuZen several times and it continues to be solid in quality and consistency. There's quite a few Sushi options in this area and at this price point, but the two things I find that sets them apart is they have lots of their own custom made rolls and the service is great. Many of their custom rolls also come in 10+ pieces so you get decent bang for your buck. I've mainly had the rolls but tried a bento once and the tempura was done very nicely. It's a small restaurant, but never too busy when I go. The servers recognize us and we almost always get a complimentary roll of the chef's choice when we go! If you're looking for a go-to sushi spot in the st.lawrence area, this is the place! read more

I have no idea why this place has lower rating than some other same scale sushi places. It's great, fish is fresh, super tasty combinations! What else can you ask for? Definitely coming back. read more

It's often said that nylon is so-called because its invention stemmed from a scientific collaboration between posses in New York and London. Now I'm not here to argue that point. I'm not one of those MythBusters guys! I'm just a regular joe, sitting here in a t-shirt like yourself, craving a cuppa joe, writing a review about a sushi restaurant. Give Carl Sagan a call if you wanna talk physics. However, I am here to argue this point, nay, fact: that the name FuZen IS a genuine portmanteau. It is the blending together of the words "FU*****" and "amaZEN (sushi)". No MythBuster'ing needed for this one: just take a piece of their lush, succulent sushi and place it atop your moist, undulating tongue. Let your tongue be the judge, jury and executioner, and I assure you it'll reach the following verdict: THAT IS SOME TASTY SUSHI, ALRIGHT. The executioner goes home with no blood on his hands and has a new sushi restaurant to add to his UrbanSpoon 'Wishlist'. read more

Clean, quiet place with very friendly staff. I'm not a fan of rolls or sushi but my boyfriend is. Usually I feel my menu options (for cooked food) are limited to an array of fried foods and flavourless dishes but this place has an extensive selection of dishes. I ordered the bulgogi dinner and shumai. The dinner included a sample crispy noodle soup which I would highly recommend. The portions were large and the food was very flavourful. read more

Great spot.. great food..great hospitality(pretty attentive). When we walked in..after a few minutes my eyes started burning.. not sure why, could have been because of the lack of circulation in the air or the warmth in the restaurant... other than that, the front street roll and the lasagna roll were fire read more

I think this may be the best sushi experience I've had. I walked in to this cozy, nicely decorated restaurant and was immediately greeted by all the super friendly staff. I looked over the menu which was very easy to read and go through. Due to some allergies, one of the waitresses helped me pick something out then gave me crunchy noodle soup as I waited for my order. I've never tried or even heard of this soup before but it was so delicious. A MUST TRY! It was better than any miso soup I have ever had and I love me some miso soup. Once I got my order all the staff said bye and thank you. At first I thought that 10.00 (or so) for 16 rolls was such an amazing deal but they are not your average size rolls which I was ok with. If you are in the St. Lawrence Market area and are craving some sushi, this place is worth checking out. read more

This sushi restaurant is a nice little spot. The service is nice and friendly, and apparently they are really nice to their repeat customers. One of my friends really likes their ginger ice cream, but they don't always have it. I was with them there today, and they made some special for him. I appreciate places that are willing to break out the royal treatment for repeat customers. For lunch I recommend the bento boxes. I have been here in the past and ordered their set of two rolls, or their salmon combination plate, and I was left unsatisfied because it just wasn't enough food for me... But the bento box comes with edamame, 4 pc veggie roll, soup, salad, and a pile of rice. The veggie roll wasn't totally cheap either, as it had avocado and a crispy exterior. I got the sushi and tempura bento box, and the variety of sushi was salmon, tuna, and some white fishes (one I think was sable/butterfish, and I am not sure of the other one). The sushi here is really fresh, and well prepared. The tempura is crispy and not oily. I wouldn't call this place a cheap sushi joint. If you are looking for that, I would hit up one of the places along Bloor, between Spadina and Bathurst. Though there is a variety of fancier rolls that would be more appropriate for a 30 dollar dinner here. Meals start with soup and salad, and end with a little scoop of ice cream. read more

Food is good and service is adequate but definitely not the art you expect sushi to be. Many of the rolls were loose and falling apart as soon as you tried to pick them up. While everything tasted good, nothing was amazing and there was nothing to make me choose here over any other place. Prices were decent, service was quick, but definitely more of a sushi fast food than fine dining. read more

This place was super tasty. They have a number of vegetarian options which I was super happy for. I will come back when I'm able to eat raw fish again! I had a yam tempura roll, greenfield roll and something else...the name escapes me. It was all delish! They give everyone this cute little bird's nest soup thing, which I love. I also had a miso soup and a salad with ginger dressing...also delish. They end off the meal with ice cream in the perfect little portion. Highly recommended. PS. it's a bit hard to find, because it's a bit hidden on the street, but if you can find it and stop in, you won't be disappointed. read more

I really like this place. The rolls are fresh and flavourful, the service is nice, and the vibe of the restaurant is relaxing. They're usually working along to Japanese adult contemporary, and Lionel Richie slow jams. I'm embarrassed to say I've only been twice -- both times getting the $20 take out special. Will definitely explore the menu further, but very satisfied for about 18-20 pieces of super-fresh rolls. I think it's avocado, California, and spicy tuna. All of them delicious. I really want to dine here soon -- it's a pretty chill, cozy, warm vibe. Did I mention the slow jams? I've only tried a handful of sushi spots in this area, but FuZen is easily the best one I've been to. read more

FuZen is a charming little place, with nice service and great sushi. Orders start with a nice crunchy noodle soup (in addition to Miso if it comes with your order) and usually come with a bit of ice cream at then end. I've never had anything but the sushi. Sashimi and sushi is consistently fresh and nicely portioned, and their rolls are great - not overloaded with rice like most sushi places. I happen to like their spicy and special maki rolls, though some may find the tempura bits in many rolls make them a bit too crunchy. Just ask them to remove it if you're not a fan. I'll agree with William L. - this isn't the best sushi in the city but it keeps me close to home - and i'm glad for it. FuZen and Mikyaki sushi a few blocks away are two great options if you're in the neighbourhood. read more

Review will be based on my takeout experience unfortunately. Sarah sleigh overpriced, completely confusing and not memorable and anyway, there's a place one block down the street that is a fraction of the price and delivers the same value. read more

There are few sushi places that impress us. But the food and service here is always outstanding. There are some terrific roles you have to try. We alway enjoy the red dragon and the volcano roles but you can't go wrong with the dynamite role either. Great fish, friendly service and always a satisfying meal. We love it. read more

The food is quite overpriced. My biggest issue with this place is when you order the dinner combo. They bring everything at once and inevitably the hot food gets cold by the time you get to it. read more

Came in for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and service. We ordered salmon teriyaki, tofu teriyaki, and chicken Katsu - everybody was very happy with their meal. Portions were quite big, we even had to take leftovers to go. Definitely recommend as a lunch/dinner place. read more

Sad sushi :( We have been living in Toronto exactly one week and I had been craving sushi. After reviewing a double of sushi restaurants in the area, we landed on this one, mainly because of the good reviews I found on Yelp and Google - boy was I wrong. While the place was packed and the service was quick, the food was more than disappointing. Now don't get me wrong, I'm far from being a sushi connoisseur but I've had my fair share of it and know what's good - and sadly, this was not. I ordered the spicy tuna roll, the yam and avocado roll, and miso soup. Husband ordered the bulgogi. His food was good but slightly under seasoned. Mine was a bit of a mess. The tuna didn't look like tuna, the yam roll was half soaked in soy sauce (which wasn't listed on the recipe) and the tuna roll itself looked like it was cut with a dirty knife. While the food wasn't the greatest, I told the server I wasn't happy and they were prompt to not only not charge us, but the chef came over to apologize. Hence the three stars. Food was unimpressive but the service was good and I appreciate good service. read more

Stopped here on a whim before an event at George Brown. Found this place on Yelp through the Nearby search for sushi. Service was quick, which is what we needed. I had the green dragon, which is my usually go to when it comes to new sushi places. Very tasty indeed, plenty of avocado! We had the gyoza as well which were nice and crispy. Will definitely stop by again if i need a quick sushi fix before school! read more

Lunch was on the pricier side - but I had a "bigger" special. ($17 for a lunch salmon platter that came with 2 soups, salad, and AMPLE amount of salmon sushi and salmon rolls). I'm totally a fan! The fish was fresh and delicious (which of course is critical), and the service fast and not pushy. The size of the place is decent, and they don't take lunch reservations, but I wouldn't stress about it mid-week - lots of room. I'm certain I'll return when I'm planning any lunches in the East side of Jarvis area. read more
