We went on a Saturday afternoon at 3:30 pm and the place was almost empty. There was only one waiter who did not help us find a table, so we had to find a seat ourselves. After we sat down, he bought us the menu and LEFT US HANGING THERE FOR 15 minutes without coming to take our orders. I had to go and ask for the waiter myself. The waiter was THE RUDEST WAITER IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY as he didn't even apologize for leaving us waiting for so long and said there were other customers. So I said can you please hurry it up. When he finally came to our table, he said I didn't need to give him attitude and "anyways, are you ready to order or not?". We left the place immediately. Nobody wants to wait on an empty stomach, then receive terrible service like that, and pay the restaurant my hard earned money. No matter how good the food is. If you didn't want to receive attitude from customers, perhaps you shouldn't have worked in a restaurant in the first place. read more

The food quality is usually okay, but customer service isn't great. If you're looking for a takeout, this is a good option. If you're looking for a nice sushi place to dine-in, there are other options in the area that could be better. read more

There are a shitload of anonymous sushi restos in the Annex and you're going to have to travel west to hit real gold. Ever since discovering this place I haven't been able to eat at other sushi restos without feeling like I'm being unfaithful. This place is the shit and they sill remain stubbornly modest. I run the risk of sounding cliched when I say this but I'll do it anyways. The atmosphere at Mazz is great. You walk in and a cheerful server welcomes you. Their servers are always happy and accommodating. You now have a choice between their standard tables and the big wooden party room. If your party is big enough, take the room. You will not be disappointed. Everybody seems to be talking about quality, authentic sushi nowadays. I have a feeling that you can't find that stuff anywhere outside the land of the rising sun so I've settled for good ol' north american-style sushi. This place has good (good, not great, good) sushi. The menu is huge, with several pages of rolls, sashimi and sushi combos. Freebie appetizers always come before the meal. The mains are all Korean and Japanese barbecue dishes with a smattering of udon bowls and plates and the standard bento boxes. This place is great because you can stuff your face full of sushi for under $12. If all that didn't convince you, here is one more tip. The take 15% off your total if you pay in cash. read more

It is a long while since I've been here, hoping it's gotten better. When we were there, there were mice! More than one, running around the floor of the dining area. Customers were squealing and pulling their feet up off the floor. The server just pretended it wasn't happening. We were on a parents' night out and didn't have time to find another place to go before getting home to the sitter, so we just tried to ignore it, too. Don't think I've been back since then. read more

Had lunch here and the service was awesome. I like the watermelon they give you, the prices were great, and having my own jug of cold water was clutch. read more

We`ve become regulars. Very good atmosphere, nice setting for a neighbourhood sushi restaurant. Food is good quality sushi, tempura is decent. It definitely seems to have turned into a trendy spot for the locals so there can be a wait, but it`s a solid local option for sushi. read more

I was impressed by this place. The fish was fresh, price was reasonable for the amount you get. The sushi wasn't cold and frozen but I think the reason Mazz is so good and get such reviews is because of the extra bit of service they provide. I would definitely go back and try again. read more

Best Korean neighborhood sushi in Toronto. Fish is always good, service is fast. Price is fine. Free shit. SOLID. This and Asahi on church are the only two places I eat sushi in Toronto and don't have a stomachache after. read more

I came here the other day for lunch with my family. I ordered the 10pc sashimi and gyoza soup. The soup was delicious, so I'll give credit where it's due. However, the sashimi was obviously not fresh, it lacked any flavour and was almost crunchy. As another reviewer said, it tasted a few days old. I'm not messing around with raw fish; I took one bite and knew something was off, so I told our server that I wasn't satisfied with my dish. The issue wasn't even in the fish, it was in the attitude of the chef and server. I overheard a heated discussion from the kitchen, and when the server returned he insisted that there was nothing wrong with the fish, that it was freshly caught that morning (????) and that I would have to pay for half of the order. I've never once been to a restaurant that I wasn't able to send back a dish that was unsatisfactory. The server kept going on about how "I don't know what real fresh fish tastes like", and that the chef provides the "best fish in the city". I gave up with trying to reason with him and accepted to pay for half, even though I barely touched my plate. The server never once came back to quality check my family's dishes, but he came back to our table 2 more times to pester me with more excuses on behalf of the chef, even after settling the bill. It was so unbelievably arrogant, I would have returned if it weren't for this attitude. I suggest taking your money elsewhere, since they care more about the money than providing quality service. read more

Slow service. Mediocre quality. They tend to throw in cucumber inside any maki so they save money. My "lobster roll" was made of cucumber, spicy sauce, avocado and probably 1/300 of a medium sized Lobster. Food looks like a bland mix of Korean and Japanese. read more

Mazz is hands down the best of the "cheap" sushi places in Toronto. The prices are more than fair and the sushi is the freshest tasting I've ever had. The fish practically melts in your mouth and even the rice tastes like it was just made the second you ordered it. Pure love. The only beef I might have with it is the salad that comes with the maki sets is a bit chintzy, but who gives a shit about salad? You don't win friends with salad. Also the free appetizers are kind of... weird... like I don't get the deal what the bizarre fish porridge thing is (and I don't care if I look uncultured or dumb not knowing what it's called.. I am uncultured and dumb) but whatever. It's free and you can simply ask not to get it. All in all, it's delicious sushi at a great price. Winner. read more

Great combos, good prices, friendly staff! All around first class.

This place can do no wrong even when their service is slow and they have taken away tasty appetizers...but i still love it, best place I've been to in Toronto for sushi quality :D read more

Was in the area for lunch so I decided to check this place out based on other Yelp recommendations. I got here just in time for the lunch special. $11 for 9 pieces of assorted sushi, 6 pieces of maki, a surprising assortment of sides, and a sliced orange for dessert. Definitely above and beyond what I was expecting and the sushi was delicious. Service was also really friendly and attentive. I'd come here again for lunch in a heartbeat. read more

Fantastic delicious very affordable lunch special. I wish this place was in my neighborhood i'd go every day. Cute little appies (congee, tofu) were served before the great very decently sized tempura bento box, with some Korean side dishes. The shrimp and veggie tempura was crunchy crisp light and perfect. The rice was ok, didn't taste like Japanese rice, but i'm not going to moan about that minor (but not insignificant) detraction from an otherwise superb lunch! The service was really good and polite and charming. Definitely worth going for lunch, 3-4 times a week!!! read more

Very decent neighbourhood sushi place. The food we ordered was a bit above average and the food is pretty consistent there. It's nice that they give you free appetizers like korean congee too. We were stuffed at the end!! I probably wouldn't come out of the way to try this place, but if you're looking for a reliable sushi place in the neighbourhood, check it out! read more

When I first mode into the area, Mazz was the first sushi joint we checked out (Tokyo down the road was closed...as it is right now...). Unpretentious decor, decent service and decent sushi. Also, tried the take-away and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh it was. These guys need a website. Thanks to the other Yelpers for the menu shots! read more

I love this place for lunch. I live in the area and when I'm craving sushi I go here. You always start off with a little tofu, congee and green tea with miso soup. So delicious. The sushi combo A is what I get and its 5 pieces of sushi with glass noodles, beans, salad and 6 California rolls (which are totally delcious at Mazz) Try this place! Such an inexpensive delicious lunch. read more

Easy to walk in and get seated on a Saturday night. We shared Edamame and a beef set that came with salmon and tuna sushi. It was PLENTY of food, and it was pretty fresh and really cheap. I'll probably go back when I want a sushi fix as it's only 5minute walk from my place. read more

So far the best sushi I've found in Toronto, at least around my neighbourhood. Wish they had a better selection of noodle dishes but otherwise the quality of sushi is always really good, and I've enjoyed both dining in or getting take out. read more

Finally made to Mazz after trying out most other sushi places in the area, and I think this is our new favourite spot. We ordered a roll combo & some other sushi. It was all fresh & tasty, very well priced. read more

Kind of underwhelming. Decent if you have a sushi craving and you're in that particular area. Certainly wouldn't travel for it though. I wanted to go to Nazareth but they were closed. Nazareth would have been a trillion times better. Mazz wasn't horrid, it was just very meh. It was still a bit before close, I was halfway through my meal and the staff/possibly friends of the staff (because there couldn't have been 12 of them back there) were hanging out in the dining room, seemingly waiting for me to leave. It was kind of awkward. If you're going to do that to someone let them know that they're trying to close up. I would have gotten take out or gone somewhere else. read more

Great food for fear value. I come here often with my friend for lunch or is always yummy, healthy and cheap.

Solid local Sushi place. My go to place for relatively quick take out or drop in with the kids. It a definite step-up from the chain sushi joints but don't expect out of this world sushi. The place is popular - always busy but I've never had to wait for a seat. Service is solid - generally attentive and fast. Good value for money! read more

My favourite dinner sushi place in all of Toronto. Staff are always friendly and respectful, and the food is delicious. Going there tonight and can't wait :) Only downside - it's small and sometimes you can't get a spot! Wahhh! read more

being from the west i am still not accustomed to how sushi here is mostly ordered in combos where its preset and you don't really pick your own type of sushi that you actually wanna eat, so instead you get the combo here and live with the fact there there is one or two that you might now like due to the value, and usually if you stray off to the a la cartes you are punished with high prices. I am pleasantly surprised that when I ordered the toro, scallop- not mashed up and covered in sauce so you can't tell if its fresh, sweet shrimp and tamagos a la carte it came very fresh and very reasonably priced and actually hard to find around town. The gyoza here was also amazing and authentic tasting and didn't just taste like a dumpling. but still i wish there was more variety, ie fresh uni, lobster sashimi etc that i would typically see on the menu in not even a fancy upscale Jap resto in the west coast. read more

Came here the other day with one other person for dinner based on the reviews on Yelp. I'm definitely glad we did. They started us off with a complimentary amuse bouch (don't know Japanese word for it) including congee and miso marinated tofu. The sashimi seemed better quality than the all-you-can-eat places. The makis were made impeccably - they don't over roll them in rice. Service was attentive. And the bill was reasonably priced. Expect to pay more than you would at an all-you-can-eat. read more

Mazz looks like just another random sushi place from the outside, but it's up there with my favourites! The ambience is cozy, service is attentive and very friendly. The sushi itself is fresh and wonderfully presented. The congee and tofu that comes at the beginning (complimentary!) is an added bonus. Love their sushi pizza and my usual app, the lobster salad. I also usually get the chirashi don and have never been disappointed. read more

This place is amazing!!! they have the best spicy tuna rolls i've ever had.They have excellent quality and fantastic prices for any area. To complain that some places should be cheaper because it's "bloor & dufferin" is insulting. I've been to a really fancy place on jane and it wasn't half as good and cost twice as much. The staff is friendly and not in your face forcing you to keep on ordering and they don't rush you out. read more

The best sushi in Toronto. Excellent staff, great ambiance, and good prices. The selection is varied, and always fresh. When you eat in they also give lots of super yummy appetizers for free. My favourite place to eat in the city (besides Rol-San in Chinatown...) read more

Best sushis in town. And we tried plenty. Always fresh. Always good! We return at least once a week :)

I have been going to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints. The staff are lovely, the food is great, and they never cut corners. They are our go to sushi restaurant and my whole family loves it. If you were to ask my kids right now what they want to eat out for dinner they won't say McDonalds or some other fast food place. They will enthusiastically yell "Sushi!" And expect that Mazz is where we will head out to. read more

It's just good, clean, average but tasty sushi. It won't wow you but it won't disappoint you either. The service is friendly, the complimentary appetizers of congee and tofu are appreciated and in the 6 years I've been walking a couple blocks to have sushi lunch or their unagi bento (their unagi is delish!), the quality has been consistent. This is a safe, solid choice for a good, simple lunch or dinner. read more

I get take-out from here all the time. The fish is always very fresh and the cooked dishes are also well-prepared. The staff is friendly and helpful. The complimentary dishes are filling - the small bowl of congee is routinely deliciously savoury. The spicy tuna/salmon rolls are the best in the city, even my bf who hates sushi/the idea of raw fish will eat 6 of them. The menu has a lot of selection too. Prices are reasonable, maybe more than cheap sushi places but they do give you generous slices of fish. There's not a lot of space (hence why I do take-out a lot), but it is nice and quiet inside. read more

It's very difficult to find fault with the food and service at Mazz. The menu is extensive and varied, all items are well assembled and absolutely delicious. The presentation of the dishes are thoughtful and well executed. All the ingredients used are fresh and flavourful. The restaurant has excellent ambiance and great service. read more

Mazz is fast (SUPER fast), friendly, affordable, and delicious. I initially came here for some pre-Comedy Bar dining, but it's now become a regular spot for me and a few of my friends. read more

Supermarket maki with low quality fish, too ripe avocado, bring a knur for the lobster and else, nothing to compare with district bistrot was on same location. read more

This little neighbourhood sushi place is a gem. Forget Sushi on Bloor with its line ups and rude servers who can't wait to get you out and someone else in. The value here is fantastic. I am in Liberty and make the small trek with my husband regularly. The staff is friendly and very accommodating, I always change the set menu selections and it is never a problem. This is a great find. I love the scallop tempura...yum. Go, you will love it. read more
