    This restaurant is awesome. I had almost given up on sushi in Toronto - there aren't a lot of spots that I enjoy anymore. Everything here just hit the spot, from the service, to the environment, to the sushi. It looks non-descript outside but there is more than meets the eye. We ordered the small sushi and sashimi boat ($59). It came with around 40 pieces - 6 maki rolls, around 15 sushi pieces, and the remainder sashimi. There were various types of fish, my favorite was the tuna. Some of the fish tasted more fresh than others, but I wasn't too bothered by that. I would definitely reccommend this boat - the presentation is top tier and the price is reasonable. We also ordered a chicken karaage as a starter, which I didn't 100% enjoy - it was tasty but not what I expected. The outer shell is a bit hard for my liking and there wasn't enough sauce. I'd get something else next time. Also appreciated the free edamame to start. Overall it was a very fullsome meal and ended at around $100 including tax and tip for two people. Pretty reasonable in Toronto, and the meal could have been done for cheaper if you ordered a dinner set each or skipped on the fancy presentation. Definitely recommend!

    Yummy sushi

    This restaurant is super cute. We made a reservation and had our own private table with half a door which adds a nice extra touch for a date night. The Service: The service is really good. I found the staff very attentive and they made our food very quickly. The Food: The food was really good. The sushi was fresh and we both enjoyed our meals. I ordered a salmon avocado roll and a tuna avocado roll and was happy with my dishes. We also ordered edamame to share and I found it a bit too salty but it was cooked for the right amount of time and the edamame beans were tender and not too firm. Would I Go Back? Absolutely!

    Gonoe sushi has been around for quite some time and serves up high quality sushi at a higher price point. We decided to get takeout for a party and ended up with the platter and an extra two rolls. The fish was all fresh and the platter came with a good variety. The rice was a bit on the thicker side but well cooked and flavored for sushi rice. The rolls were large and very tasty as well. Price: expect to pay a bit higher than most sushi places but you will get higher quality.

    Average quality- lots of sushi roll choices,we ordered Las Vegas Roll & Scallop Deluxe Roll & Party Boat Sushi&Sashimi (Small) for 5 person. The environment is so authentic with Japanese style with warm lighting. Good for group gathering! The service is great, they keep filling us water but I think the price is ok when compared to other sushi places.

    The decor has a traditional feel with with many semi-private rooms. The servers were nice and helpful as well. The tempera used different batter: the shrimp used a panko-crust while the veggies used wheat-based batter. My friend and I ordered their sushi and sashimi boat, which had two different rolls, some nigiri, and some sashimi, which had a nice variety. The sushi was overall decent. The restaurant was not too busy when we went on a Tuesday evening.

    This is a super cute place that's just perfect for a date! It's smaller and more intimate than neighbouring Matsuda. There are semi-private rooms that enclosed with walls and entrance curtains. Most of them seemed to seat up to 4 people. This place is a la carte ordering with lunch specials that occur every day except for Saturday. I ended up ordering a 10 piece salmon sashimi lunch special that comes as a bento box. The box had an assortment of sides in there including a green salad that was really nicely dressed with a ginger sauce, cold japchae noodles with peppers and onions, a scoop of white rice, and two pieces of perfectly golden deep fried fish with a light aioli on top. It also came with a miso soup to get everything started. Everything was really fresh and tasty! The salmon sashimi was exceptional. So glad we found this little shop!

    Absolute gem of a place. My go-to for sushi that impresses. I have always had a great service and fresh tasty food. Service + atmosphere - decorated for Valentine's Day, very cute - warm, cozy vibes - servers were friendly, kind and attentive. - washrooms were very clean - the sushi is made in an open kitchen so you can see the sushi chef prepare your food. - social distancing/spacing very well done with dividers and rooms - checked proof of vaccine at the door Food - Complementary edamame and tiny bowl of noodles, both were very simple but well done and tasty - Spicy chicken karage - their chicken karage is done Korean Fried Chicken style and it was DELICIOUS. Honestly, I just ordered this because my boyfriend doesn't have a lot of sushi experience and I wanted him to have something to eat if he didn't end up liking the sushi... It was surprisingly so good. The chicken was well-fried, crispy but not oily. The sauce was spicy but didn't burn your face off. It was sweet but not cloying. We cleared that plate. - Small Sushi and Sashimi Boat - just enough for us to be full and satisfied. Very fresh, a good variety of sashimi, sushi and rolls. We always ask for wasabi on the side, since it's typically included inside the sushi. Drinks - Ordered the small hot sake. $8 for 5 ounces, which is a little pricey but the sake was a really high quality. Sweet and smooth with a nice warmth.

    HOW CUTE, This little sushi à la carte restaurant is oddly enough right beside an AYCE sushi place, but gets just as busy. Depending on how much sushi you're craving you can always stop by Gonoe Sushi for a controlled, yet delicious amount of food. Celebrating my best friend's birthday with her family, we had reservations for seven people and were placed in a separated room. Although it was quite small, it kept everyone intimate and engaged with one another throughout the dinner. The decorations and ambience of this cute dainty restaurant, made me feel as though I wasn't in Toronto for the time being - and I loved it. The menu had a variety of options to choose from and I ended up ordering the 'Black Dragon Roll' and 'Takoyaki' because I'm familiar with both and know it's always delicious! Our server was kind and very patient with us creating a welcoming environment for all guests! He ensured we were all doing well given that we were separated from the main eating area, and refilled our cups of tea constantly. The quality of the food was great! The Dragon Rolls come with 8 pieces and are quite large aka does the job and keeps you full! I would definitely recommend this place because the quality of food is worth the buck, the environment is intimate, and service is phenomenal!

    First time trying this gem, and it was absolutely worth it! This place makes authentic sushi like you have never tried elsewhere! In terms of the interiors, it is a centric with little booths with curtains hanging down, they are nice for a little private group, or there are a few tables scattered around. It may need some renovations or adding a little Mondrian touch to it. However, this is not too important compared to the quality of food in this place. We ordered Edamame which was pretty good and shrimp tempura which was OK As for sushi, we ordered the Green Dragon, lobster salad Maki roll and the short beef ribs roll The presentation was beautiful, and we received way more rolls than we had anticipated based on the menu. Each role tasted better than the one before, it's hard very thin layer of rice but so much feelings inside, that we were struggling to finish the portion. There is no all you can eat option, and it is a bit pricey to order from the alacart menu, but it is certainly worth every dollar I will be back very soon and I will make sure to recommend this place

    Sushi freshly prepared!

    Thanks to Yelp, I found this little gem! Ordered takeout a la carte to cheer up my BF who had a terrible day (sushi is his fave). Service was polite and friendly. I ordered a California roll, TTR roll, green dragon, Diablo roll, yam/avocado, and two miso soups. The rolls were prepared fresh in front of me and very quickly too! I had about a half hour drive home (thanks rush hour traffic!) but the sushi was still absolutely delish! The BF loved his surprise too :) My faves were the Diablo, loved the pickled peppers in the roll and the TTR which was tuna and green onion sushi roll, fried. OMG so so yum! Be warned the Diablo roll is spicy so if you aren't into heat, don't order. I will be sure to return when I am in the area!

    Gonoe sushi is a small restaurant with limited seating so I suggest making a reservation if you plan on coming with a large group (4+ people). I came here with a group of 8 (we made a reservation) and we were seated in a separate room that seemed to fit us perfectly. It is a smaller restaurant so the space is a bit cramped but its not uncomfortable. Their menu is a la carte only and the prices are decent (around $10-15 per roll). I ordered the green dragon roll and it was very delicious! The sushi tasted fresh and the service was great and pretty qucik. I would definitely come back here again if I were in the area and wanted a quick sushi fix.

    Gonoe Sushi is relative small sushi restaurant compares to Tako Sushi next door. Though the exterior of the building is plain and minimalistic.. the interior deco is traditional and quite Asian... My friend was so excited that we got to sit inside those private booth...not that she is my Hot Date....and we are going to need some privacy? All we here today just for the Lunch Specials. Sashimi, Sushi and Roll ($13.95) - Nicely presented and made my friend went wow!! I guess Gonoe Sushi is a good place to impress your friend?? - Great selections of fish..and everything was nicely done.. Tempura and Beef Teriyaki Combo ($12.95) - A little disappointed..as the beef was really dry and the teriyaki sauce was not too good - Tempura was not bad: batter was light and just a tad oily since it was cold by the time it was served The Verdict: As the name implied, Gonoe Sushi, stuck with sushi, sashimi or rolls... avoid the cooked food.. and you won't be disappointed. Services here were polite and efficient.. Gonoe Sushi definitely a good place for lunch!!

    I am a repeat customer to this place! Ever since a friend showed me, I cannot stop getting the boat (prefect for 2)! Not a fan of wasabi, but I pick it off to the little amount that I like so no big deal! I love the hot tea (just cannot stop drinking it!). They always serve an appetizer (Edamame and noodle/soup) and end with ice cream for our boats! Service has been very pleasant every time we go! Will be returning!

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!

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.

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.
