    This robot is quite attentive
    Gerry T.

    Relatives invited us over and I was excited to be having sushi. However, when I checked out the Yelp reviews, it had a less than a 4 star average. I'm really torn, I try to look for 4 stars and higher, if possible. I don't remember the last time I purposefully went to a 2 star place to eat. But I was surprised by the friendly robots and staff, and really fresh seafood (heard the fishing flapping in the kitchen), just kidding. I truly enjoyed the cool ambiance and great tasting fresh sashimi and nigiri. Close to Pearson too, this would be a good spot to eat before getting on a flight.

    Salad and miso soup from ordering Sashimi Deluxe 3/28/2023
    Jaewoo S.

    Late lunch on a Tuesday. It was not busy as it was past 1pm. The entire restaurant was really clean. Bathroom was nice too. Quiet atmosphere. It would be nice to come for dinner as the interior had nice lighting in the darker color. Had Sashimi Deluxe. The salad and miso soup that came with the order was delicious. Miso soup had rich taste as they were using enough miso paste to make the soup. Sashimi was good as well. However, I felt like the portion balance between sashimi and the rice bowl was not the best as I seem to run out of sashimi before the rice was gone. Other than that, everything was good. The service, time it took to get the food on the table, they even had a serving machine going around the restaurant.

    Left: gyoza Right: butterfish roll

    Came here for dinner with a friend during anime north weekend. I ordered the butter fish roll and gyoza. I enjoyed the sushi as it had a great fish to rice ratio. The gyoza were too greasy and tasteless in my opinion. This place is very affordable, and had lots of variety. I would recommend coming here for a budget friendly meal.

    Salmon roll

    Online order was easy and quick with option to pay ahead of time. My only complaint is that you can't order before the store opens. I had to wait until 11:30 to place my lunch order. The place was busy upon pickup! Lots of takeout orders held up by a very large order but I still received my food within a reasonable time. I tried the 3 Maki rolls. Tasty and fresh. Very good value especially for lunch. Would recommend!

    a long table with plates of food on it

    Chose this location for dinner with friends on a Thursday night as it was a convenient location for almost everyone. The place was quite big and spacious. Since it was a Thursday evening, there was not alot of customers and many tables were empty. We ordered off the iPad and all the food arrived through the automatic robots. Since it was an AYCE, the sushi was nothing special and tasted the same as any other AYCE places. However, they do serve the sweet shrimp sashimi and deep fried custard buns. I would come back if I am in the area for AYCE sushi.

    COVID review: During the pandemic, Makimono has opened up their ayce option maybe once or twice. This review will focus on both that option and the current options that makimono offers. Starting with the Ayce: during their dine in option when the government still allowed it, they took very strong precautions my boyfriend and I liked. They wore face shields and masks, had disposable chopsticks, cups. The food was the same as its was before the pandemic and service was still pretty much the same. Nothing special there. Surprised the wait staff still recognize us and they're all doing well ^^ Fast forward to today: take out, ordering online or through the phone or delivery are now their only options. At the beginning of the pandemic, their take out still was pretty high quality, however, as of December 2020, their quality has decreased. The lunch special does come with a soup and salad and is a great price. The salmon quality has went down though. It's still better than mall sushi. Hoping the quality goes back up.

    Deluxe dragon roll
    Johanna C.

    Efficient takeout service; you can place your order online and pay ahead of time. The maki rolls were pretty good, but nothing too special about the deluxe dragon roll. I would recommend coming here for their lunch specials instead.

    SPECIAL COVID-19 EDITION REVIEW: SAFETY PRACTICES, PROTOCOLS AND MORE. OPEN DURING COVID-19. (Stage 3 of the province of Ontario reopening) NOTE: CURRENTLY MAXIMUM OF 10 PEOPLE ALLOWED INSIDE TO DINE. MUST WEAR A MASK WHILE NOT AT YOUR TABLE. Makimono was one of our favourite places to go prior to the pandemic. Things have definitely changed and today on the 14th of August (Friday), they are officially open for AYCE sushi as an option, and to dine inside the restaurant as well. Maximum of 10 guests inside at a time. We had the first reservation when they first reopened, so for a while, it felt like the entire restaurant was rented by us :) A party of 7 came in after and another 2 people wanted to come but that would've made it 11 including us. Nice to see Makimono is strict on the policy and apologized to the 2 people who wanted a table but couldn't get one. Ever since the covid pandemic started, the AYCE was not available, only a la carte. You could also order on a delivery app as well but other than that, they've been mostly serving takeout. Once patios opened, they did have a patio, to the left of the restaurant front doors. There is plexiglass up everywhere for safety, everyone is wearing a mask/required to, when not at their table. They have disposable everything (cups, straws, any sauces to dip in), servers are wearing gloves (and sometimes protective gear for their eyes). Maximum 10 people inside at the moment. Makimono is taking amazing precautions. Price for AYCE went up ($24.99 Friday or weekends)but is completely justified. Had almost no anxiety with covid still out there and eating at Makimono. We got to see the manager, Doris, whom we know well from when we were regulars pre-covid. She recognized us and asked us how everything was. Onto what you've been waiting for!! The food! The food surprisingly hasn't really changed quality. When their ayce wasn't open, my girlfriend and I would get their a la carte - rolls tasted exactly the same (salmon and avocado inside the rolls were super fresh) . Edamame was good, beef short ribs were amazing (unlike at sparkly restaurant where we couldn't even bite into them), sashimi was perfect, shrimp tempura was great, seafood udon tasted great. Pretty much everything was on point! Salmon sashimi was so fresh that I have to dock stars off sparkly (see the review for this place) - because now I have makimono to compare to sparkly (what I mean by this is AYCE sushi during covid), sparkly even with our VIP 10% off discount is not worth it. Makimono really takes the crown here. Would definitely come again. As you can see, Makimono hasn't always been the most perfect place (look at previous reviews) but I have to say they are taking COVID very seriously and care about their customers and their staff! 5/5 the first 5 for Makimono! Thank you to Doris and the entire Makimono team! :) Amazing COVID precautions Great fresh food Price went up a little bit but justified due to their precautions they take

    Yea that made me wanna eat. Servers thought nothing of it...

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!

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.
