Delicious food, nice workers. You can see then make the food or you can come back in the time that they say and just travel the plaza. Usually cash is preferred but they do debit for over 20 dollars the last time I went. Cute shop, they have a display in the front with the little chocolate sticks in strawberry (pocky?). You can also get tea sets and chopsticks! Very good place, definitely recommend. read more

Lan Sushi is the newest business on the street and unless you are a Junctionite, you have no idea how much this area needs a sushi joint! Aaaaaaand, far so good. The restaurant itself is really just a walk up/take out place at the moment. They've painted the place up a bit and added some nice decorative touches which distinguish it from the two places it's been recently (Bronto Burger and Jocelyn's Place) but it still could use some improvements. There are a few chairs set up by the window and one high table (like a bar table) with 4 high stools. It feels a bit unfinished but maybe they're still in the process of determining their set up and staffing. The maki options are standard, but not in a bad way. To start I had the lunch sashimi combo ($11) which came with salmon, octopus, tuna and tilapia. It came with miso and sushi rice and was relatively fine, the fish was fresh and tasty and the octopus was a pleasant surprise. We also ordered Maki combo A ($11.50) which featured a tasty california roll, a HUGE dynamite roll and a spicy roll that made my mouth happy! I enjoy a sushi place that doesn't skimp on the spicy in their rolls. Also? No mayonnaise to be seen so far. (Mayonnaise is the sushi kiss of death in my opinion.) The stars are missing because this is still a new place, the menu is far and away from fleshed out, the seating is strange and the rolls are simple. Give them a few months and I'll re-review, but as it's the only game in town, I'm sure I'll be mosying my way through the menu soon enough. read more

This is my go-to neighbourhood sushi place. It's 95% takeout but there are a couple tables if you want to sit down. The fish is always fresh and the food is consistent. Service is fast and friendly. My faves: Salmon & Tuna sushi/sashimi, Spicy Tuna Salad, Sushi Pizza, Alaska Roll, Red Dragon/Green Dragon. I've also ordered party platters in the past and they turned out great. They sometimes give you a free hand roll while you're waiting too - I think it's usually bbq salmon. Cash or debit only. read more

3.5* I thought this place was OK for a takeout place. Atmosphere: Space was not used to its full potential. HUGE ass space in front of the takeout/cash area where there is absolutely no seating. Instead, seating is concentrated towards front entrance of restaurant. Décor/furniture is sorta ugly, mishmash of random, leftover pieces, see: photos. YES, you do get a complimentary handroll while you wait. :) I think we got Cali which is a very nice touch! Food was well presented, but done so in takeout trays. (I'm sure that they can make it into more of a restaurant if they wanted to!) There was a self-serve tea carafe which I also appreciated. Food was good. I wasn't too fond of the sweet brown sauce which was atop the Green Dragon & Alaska Roll, but my bf liked it. Everything was fresh, that's for sure. My least favourite thing was the Agedashi Tofu which was more like breaded, pressed tofu steaks. Decent, and I believe only, sushi place in The Junction area. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again if I was nearby! read more

Go for the lunch special! Very good deals there. I also love their Philadelphia roll, they put in very little smoked salmon but fair for the price I suppose. read more

Sushi is fresh and well-made! Good prices. +1 for the complimentary salmon/cucumber hand roll, it was delicious. I find it's a hit and miss, sometimes I get one and other times I don't. Only negatives are they don't accept credit cards, and it's not a great place to sit down and eat, definitely a take-out type of sushi place. But there's free green tea if you get thirsty. :) read more

Best sushi rolls in Toronto downtown - ish area. Their sashimi isn't bad but it's not as amazing as their rolls. They only take cash or debit. No credit and not much seating area. But they're pretty quick for take our orders and very convenient for Junction area locals. Their prices aren't too bad either but it is not AYCE. Only menu a la carte. read more

Pleasantly surprised. My gf and I were looking for an ayce sushi place in DT Toronto when we stumbled upon this place. Even though it wasn't all you can eat, it was definitely worth it. Upon walking in, it looks like your typical small take out sushi place with a small eating area. I wasn't too impressed with the eating area but once the sushi came, it made me forget all about the small eating area. I was in a "foodies" paradise for the remainder of my meal. We ordered the sushi/sashimi combo and both were outstandingly fresh. The prices were fair and they have unlimited free green tea while you wait/eat. The staff was nice and attentive. What more could one ask for? Ps. We never received a complimentary handroll while waiting but I'm not devastated, I would definitely come back here. read more

Take out sushi place - how good could it be, right? Pretty good, as it turns out. This is now our 'we want sushi but feel guilty about eating out' place. I always call to order ahead of time - have never walked in. Probably mentioned before - but cash or debit only! No credit cards. Out of the four times I've gone, I've received the much talked about free handroll once. BUT it was on a night where I was absolutely STARVING after a long day at work, and I was so hungercranky... My husband said that when I got into the car with the sushi clutching my free handroll (which was promptly devoured) I looked like I had just been given a million dollars. (Yes, food makes me that happy) read more

It's sad how a business can avoid completely alienating a loyal repeat customer, but chooses not to to save a couple of dollars, and to save their pride. I USED to go here, until one night when I placed an order for delivery, and waited an hour before calling them back to see what happened, and they told me that I placed an order for pickup. If I wanted pickup, I would have said pickup... They told me that the food has been ready for some time now, and they can deliver it now. I told them that I wanted a new meal as I didn't want the cold food that's been sitting in their takeout box for an hour now (since I ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice which is a hot dish). Also, I specifically asked them to deliver to the back door, 3 times. They delivered to my front door... As my alarm was going off, the delivery guy told me that this was the original cold order that's been sitting for an hour. I was hungry, and grumpy, so I presented the money to give to the delivery driver, but he pulled the food away!! saying "do you want to the food or not?!", as if to taunt me and to punish me for not picking up my order. I couldn't believe this. Here I am, giving him the money, and he doesn't want it??? To me, the emotion and experience behind the food is actually more important than the food itself. I told him I didn't want this. Meaning, to be bullied into giving my money to someone who's clearly on a powertrip. Lan Sushi. Never again. read more

Great food I've ordered a few times from them, however for home delivery they only take cash.....wth?? They, of course, only mention this once I've placed my order, given my contact info (buzz code) etc etc. Very annoying! read more

Lan Sushi was a wonderful surprise popping up in the Junction. The sushi is fresh, tasty, and delicious! The atmosphere is clean and simple, fun classical music remixes in the background. The service is incredible - snappy, and very kind! The prices are exceptionally reasonable, and it's definitely worth every cent. You can expect me back here! read more

I found Lan Sushi about a year ago (November 2013) when I started working in The Junction, and walked with a co-worker to grab some sushi one day for lunch. It was SO. GOOD. I was amazed at how fresh and real it tasted. Soon, the whole office was joining in and it became a highly-anticipated weekly tradition to get sushi. (Usually "Sushi Thursday's.") Lan Sushi doesn't load their sushi with vinegar or lemon (yay) nor do they do what a lot of other sushi restaurants are guilty of - giving you 70% rice, 30% vegetables/fish. Lan Sushi's rice takes a back seat to the vegetables/fish (depending on what you order), which is perfect. If you order a salmon roll, for example, the salmon will dominate with confidence. Their lunch combos are delicious, very filling, and well-priced. 12 pieces of sushi for around $8 including tax? That's awesome. Lan Sushi has the kind of sushi you crave and dream about. For REAL. It's my favourite sushi place in Toronto (hands-down!), and now that I'm not working in The Junction, I sometimes find myself travelling to the west end specifically for this sushi. It's so worth it. Go get some! read more

For a non-ayce take out place I really enjoyed Lan Sushi. Their sashimi was amazing! Probably the best I've tried thus far. My boyfriend and I shared the sashimi-sushi platter (#1 I believe) for $26 and an order of spicy salmon for $4. We were both full when we left. After looking for sushi for hours, I was so excited we finally found this spot. There are no washrooms and it's strictly for takeout but there is a pitcher (not sure if that's the right word) of hot green tea and a bar against the window with some stools and a high and a low table if you choose to eat there. read more

Lan Sushi - Sushi-sashimi platter. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The Toronto Lover system: 5 stars = Must visit! 4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here. 3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go. 2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary. 1 star = Do not visit! Lan Sushi is fantastic in every way. It has my highest recommendation for take-out sushi. The fish is fresh, the sushi is well prepared, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The interior is also very clean, functional, and cute, and serves as a great place to sit for a quick lunch. Preferably, it's where you wait for a few minutes while your excellent take-out sushi is prepared. Lan gets 4 stars instead of 5 because the dining room just isn't the place for a nice sushi dinner. Get it to go! Great food. 4 stars read more

This place probably has some of the best sushi I've had outside Japan. The fish always tastes very fresh, and they don't try to skimp like some other places do. I almost always get the $10 spicy combo, and even when I think it won't be enough to fill me up, I'm never hungry once I'm done. The staff is also always very friendly! I wish that they had more of a sit-down area and an option other than take-out, but they're probably affordable because they don't really offer a sit-down option. read more

Lan is my go-to sushi place in the Junction. I don't even live there but will drive the 15 minutes to get takeout. I also always stop in and grab something when I'm in the 'hood shopping etc. The service is super friendly and they always give you a complimentary hand roll while waiting (which btw, is always amazing). There is also complimentary hot tea. There isn't much for seating (2 tables and window), but if you can snag a seat at the window and people watch while eating, you're golden. I have ordered a lot of items from the menu, from the spicy tuna/salmon etc. to spider roll, to unagi... it's all fantastic and fresh. I am absolutely a repeat customer. These guys know how to keep you coming back. read more

I came here based on the rave reviews on Yelp. The shop itself is quite underwhelming, it's mainly a take out place so don't expect to dine-in. The service was good, not exceptional. We were greeted upon arrival and given time to look at the menu to decide what to order. Everything is given in take-out containers, to go along with the take out theme. So what did I like about my experience? The sashimi and rolls were fresh and good, time for food service was quick, prices were decent. Would I come back again? Not in a hurry, but if I were to pass by and suddenly develop a craving for sushi. Yes. read more

watch niceness. My only (very small) complaint is that the spicy mayo and tempura crumble gets stuck to the top of the take out container. You could eat it to stay or just put the bits back on the maki. Everything else has been said below. read more

Fresh sushi made with care. Delicious! Yam rolls are awesome! They are super friendly and draw a smiley face on your take out packages! Mostly take out, but you can take a quick seat at the bar or small tables at the side. Check their hours...kinda weird. Not open late. :( read more

Updating my review to say that Lan Sushi is consistently awesome, the food is always top notch, they ruined me for any other sushi place downtown, I now compare everyone's vegan options to Lan Sushi' and no one compares in freshness, portion size and taste. My husband eats fish, often gets double the order of spicy combo because it's THAT GOOD! The owners and their staff are all lovely people and are so nice to my kids, which is a huge plus. Lan Sushi is a must try, you are guaranteed to come back many times to try everything on the menu, you will be loudly greeted with the owners calling out your first name with a huge smile, you can't beat that. read more

I would move to The Junction just to be closer to Lan Sushi. The service is friendly, prompt, helpful and very efficient. I ordered a small maki party platter ($30) and the lobster maki ($11) and every single last piece of sushi was a work of art, fresh and delicious. The green dragon roll (which was part of the platter) is just the right mix of spicy and sweet. The simple (very clean) decor should not fool you - the quality of the sushi is as good if not better than the downtown sushi hot spots. I live on the east side but will travel back to Lan Sushi soon, and I am bringing friends. My only complaint is that this gem is not located closer to me. read more

Really good, satisfying sushi, really low prices, *really* good service. It's great to finally have a quality sushi place in the junction. Plus they always give me a free roll while I'm waiting for takeout. read more

Of all the sushi places in the city this is for sure my favourite... Which is what prompted me to re-review these guys and bump them up a star. The sushi here is super fresh and I really love their spicy combo (spicy salmon, spicy tuna and cucumber rolls) and their spicy salmon pizza... what can I say I'm a sucker for all things deliciously spicy. Their service is excellent; they read all their Yelp reviews, learn their regular customers' names and are always in a cheery mood. They still don't have a customer washroom but that's ok because Sweet Potato, the amazing local grocery store across the street has a nice big one in the back. I recently found out they deliver but only within a few blocks so I still need to go there for pick ups but honestly that's no big deal. Keep up the good work guys! read more

One of my favourite non-AYCE sushi places. The prices are fair, and the sushi is great, especially their spicy salmon. Normally I am not a fan of hand-rolls, but this place makes the BEST and ONLY hand-rolls I ever eat...not to mention they often give you a complimentary one while you wait. read more

When you want sushi in the area, Lan Sushi is currently your only option, but thankfully they do everything just right. I have many friends who go to Lan Sushi so frequently (because they like it so much) that the hostess knows them all by name. I find the owner (or head chef, I'm not sure) always has a friendly smile going on when I go in, which feels especially warm when he walks out to give you a complementary hand roll while you wait for your meal to go. The sushi's good quality, but smaller than what I'm used to. For a meal I'll always order two dishes from Lan, which usually does the trick. t I don't recommend eating in the restaurant. You can, and I have, but it's pretty pointless. It's a takeout shop and the atmosphere doesn't really help you enjoy your food or your company (people are always coming in and out of the store right beside you and are all just ordering or standing around and waiting for their food. So just take it to go and enjoy it at home. read more

Had a yam roll and the alaska roll, I completely agree with the previous yelpers this place is amazing! They add this delicious sauce to the rolls and even the rice used in the rolls tastes ridiculously good, deliciously vinegary. Definitely recommend, I found my new favorite sushi spot. read more

Lan Sushi - They also sell snacks :-) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Such great, fresh sushi here. I go in for takeout sometimes, and I've never had to wait more than ten minutes for my order. They also have a lot of interesting things to buy on the side, like cool chopsticks and pocky stick. They make a mean Philly roll! read more

I love this place! I have been four times now and it is fresh, consistent and reasonable. I usually get the Spicy maki-combo and a wakame salad. Plus, the owners are so very cheerful! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I would like to sit in and eat, and save on so much packaging. read more

WHERE IS THE FURNITURE?!? That said, The Junction needed a Sushi place. And we got one in the site of the former Bronto-Burger. Good news! The take-out sushi I had was pretty good, with fairly reasonable prices for the large and filling rolls I took home. However, I didn't intend to get take out. This place oesn't really offer anywhere to sit! There is one table and a bar by the window. I'm just happy to have a sushi place around the corner from my place. read more

Trekking to the junction to find the best super cheap sushi joint in the city, really? Well, certainly not a single reason to go to the junction, but if you happen to be in the neighbourhood and want to nibble on some fresh, well-priced rolls I highly suggest it. It's a sparse, bright, single room suitable more for take-out rather than dining in with a self serve tea canister equipped with Dixie Cups. I would give Lan sushi four stars, however the people who work/own the place are soooo friendly. They either genuinely love their customers or are just amazing actors (Hollywood worthy really). +1 for a complimentary hand roll while you're waiting -1 for the Cher and Cher covers... read more

this is in my opinion the best take out sushi in the entire city. Ive had take out at many many many many places in this city and nothing compares. We usually order the medium maki party tray and maybe some tempura. The rice is always freshly made, the fish is always fresh (although sometimes not sliced very neatly) and the orders always come with some poky! one or two times our tempura has been a bit chewy/stale but the sushi is so damn good I let that slide. I'm not sure what type of soy sauce they use but it isnt salty but full of flavor and is I am guessing usukuchi which is a more mild version and in my opinion superior to koikuchi. The only frustrating thing that usually happens is the woman who usually answers the phone does not speak english very well and usually gets intercepted by someone else who does speak english. we order alot so they ended up just knowing us by name which was nice. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening with a huge festival going on Dundas st. Restaurant was empty and they put the chairs on the table and said only take out. Oddly enough they weren't partaking in the huge outdoor festivities. Food tasted average but the colour of the salmon roll compared to the hae dop bop was very noticeably off colour. Don't think I would visit here again as there are many other options around. read more

Went there for takeout! They were a little slow getting our rolls together considering there was no one else waiting, but they made us free handrolls (which were delicious) so we absolutely forgave them. With the prices as cheap as they are, it's a wonder how they can afford to do that for everyone. We got the stuff home still warm - a nice trick leaving a steam hole for the gyoza so that they don't get soggy. So overall it was awesome, and we'll probably go again :) read more

The sushi was really fresh and reasonably priced. The service was great and we waited about 10 to 15 minutes for the takeout order. The free tea dispenser is a nice touch and we got a handroll to try while waiting. Everyone was full of smiles. This is a great place - the spicy rolls and dynamite rolls were very good. Also for those complaining about furniture - there are now three tables, some stools at the window and a bench for those waiting for their orders. The decor is nice and simple too. And it's quite a bit cheaper than the sushi places on Roncesvalles or BWV - definitely worth the trip. read more

Great little take-out sushi place with a few small tables. The food was surprisingly great and fresh. Loved the miso soup and wakeme salad. Super fast and friendly service, and good value for the price. You get some free hot tea and a cone-roll while you wait. Highly recommended! read more

I got takeout sushi and sashimi. Order was ready quickly. The sushi was good but THE SASHIMI IS FANTASTIC, super fresh, really delicious. Cute place, small decorated with taste, simple and professional. It was the chef and his helper there, they were very courteous and take care of me wonderfully. They took care to make sure it is only 1 person in their shop at a time and had good safety and hygiene precautions. read more

Love it here! I live ten minutes away and order from them a few times a month. I don't order rolls very often mainly because rice and I do not get along, but when I do I always go for the Rainbow and Black Dragon. Hands down the best rolls I've had and *almost* worth my body hating me for the next 48 hours. Needless to say I tend to stick with the sashimi which is always incredibly fresh and flavourful. The seaweed salad and edamame are great as well but honestly, it's hard to mess those up. I've probably introduced half a dozen people to this place since they opened and every single one now calls it their favourite sushi joint. read more
