Michi Sushi is one of my favourite go-tos for my sushi cravings in North York neighborhood. It is tucked away on Willowdale Avenue (beside Paisano). Very causal, rustic atmosphere, and the staff and chef are friendly. Their fishes and seafood are always fresh; we enjoy ordering the sashimi omakase, aka chef's choice, and they serve uni! I used to always order this flaming sushi roll where they lit the roll literally in flames in front of you (didn't see it on the menu this time). The cold soba was also delicious; I love my soba with lots of wasabi ^^ It was very thoughtful of the staff to give the two of us one bowl each of broth with ice cubes for dipping the soba :) Overall, we always enjoy our time at Michi Sushi. We will definitely visit again soon :)
I came here on a Friday night as a group of 7. The place was very busy - basically full when we first entered, and so busy throughout that they had to decline a group/told them there would be quite the wait considering no one was about to leave and a couple reservations were set for later in the night. The place itself didn't look that big at a glance, and in terms of cleanliness, the seating areas and tables were clean but you could note the dust/small spider webs near the vents. Overall, this is a pricier sushi spot but I definitely appreciated the quality of the food. I ordered the SUSHI DINNER DELUXE which included 12 pcs of sushi plus either 6 tempura rolls or 6 spicy salmon rolls, and I chose the spicy salmon rolls as they're my favorite! They were so good, really spicy, which I love. The assortment of sushi was quite nice including salmon, tuna, shrimp, BBQ eel, calamari, and truthfully, some others that I can't distinguish just by look/taste if you don't tell me what they are. However, despite not usually being adventurous with all types of raw seafood, I must say everything was very fresh and nothing had a "fishy" odor to it! I should also mention that my meal came with a miso soup and salad, which everyone got as well, minus the one person at our table who ordered a specialist roll for their dish. Service was fair but I didn't feel it was the most friendly. Sometimes I felt like our server was a little impatient with us/looked like she didn't want to be there. Fun fact: 10% discount when you pay with cash! Candies included upon payment (never had that kind before but they were really good fruity taffy type candies).
Michi Sushi is a really quaint local Japanese restaurant just North of Sheppard and Willowdale. We were recommended by a few friends to give it a try and was not disappointed. There isn't much parking around. There's some perpendicular street parking on the street just South of the restaurant. I believe there is also a back lot that you can get to via the narrow driveway/alley beside the building. We ordered the Softshell Crab Roll, Black Dragon Roll, and Sake (Salmon) Sashimi. The softshell crab roll was pretty standard, satisfying, but nothing extraordinary. The Black Dragon roll was also pretty standard however I noticed they rolled the interior dynamite roll NOT as an uramaki (rice on outside, seaweed inside). The sauce worked really well with the roll and the tempura shrimp in the roll was really crispy. The salmon sashimi was REALLY fresh and not at all fishy. They give you pretty thick cuts which is amazing. The staff was also super friendly as they frequently topped up our water and tea. As at Feb 2023, they have a 10% cash discount on bills subtotalled $50+. Overall, it is a bit pricey but you get your value in the filling and quality/freshness of products. It's great to find great quality local restaurants to support. If accessibility was better I'd definitely return more frequently! Highly recommend!
It was alright. I wouldn't recommend, it just didn't taste great and at the price point I expected better. The service was OK, delivery orders are prioritized over seated guests so you're waiting 30 minutes for your food. The ambiance was standard small place sushi spot.
I started visiting this place since it was called another name. Regardless of the name/ownership change, the food quality here has been great. The lunch I had here this weekend was actually the first patio meal we've had this year. The two rolls we ordered - Dancing Eel and Crazy Girl - were yum. I personally prefer the Crazy Girl as it has a richer flavour and of course, lobster in it. The Chiken Karaage and Gyoza were amazing too. Chicken wasn't greasy. Their signature rolls are actually pretty big. So if it's two of you planning to get sushi and snacks, one roll should be big enough :) Definitely recommend.
A gem in the North York community - this small, cozy restaurant offers some of the best and unique selection of sushi available with high quality ingredients so I would recommend going with a small to medium sized group so that you can try multiple things on the menu! Expect a wait due to the limited number of seats and tables but it's worth your time! Service is excellent and don't be shy to ask what they recommend. Our table got different michi signature rolls to try. My personal favourite was the Salmon Dragon and Gold 888! I will definitely need to come back and try their daily lunch specials in the future. Note that they are closed on Tuesdays.
Amazing place, staff and food! My girl friend and I had ordered a lot of food knowing it will be a lot for two tiny girls. We managed very well and the friendly staff even gave us extra pieces on the Omakase sashimi as well as a beef tataki on the house at around 9:40pm and the restaurant closes at 9:30pm. Obviously they didn't rush us at all and let us enjoy our stay until 10:30pm. It certainly won't be our last time.
3.5* for the food, + .5* for the service I've come here a couple times now and it's a cute little Japanese restaurant. The quality of the ingredients is there, and they have a good selection of sake too. I'm always a fan of yellowtail collar which is filled with delicious meat, especially with a touch of lemon and ponzu sauce. Even though we're not regulars, the chef always tries to greet us and say bye to us. He apologizes profusely whenever menu items are even just a little delayed.
Went to Michi Sushi for dinner the other night. The servers were very polite but one was very forgetful and forgot to come back to take our order and forgot when I asked for more tea. The restaurant was full when I arrived and the food took very long to come but nonetheless I had a good experience. The restaurant offered complimentary edamame and the food was tasty and the seafood tasted fresh. I really liked how they served the sauce for the agedashi tofu separate in order to prevent the tofu from getting soggy prior to arriving at the table. There isn't any parking other than street parking nearby however make sure you double check the street parking times in order to avoid getting a ticket. I believe it was 12pm-6pm no parking but I could be wrong. They have wifi available and the password is: joonchef
I do not have enough good things to say about this particular restaurant. Go! You won't regret it if you're looking for delicious food, gorgeous presentation and overall all good vibes around. Seriously. This restaurant reminds me of being back in Japan. It's very cozy, has little polaroid photos taken of happy customers who have eaten there in the past. Where do I start? 1. Food. Mouth watering. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef sashimi, the sashimi combo (smaller size) and the tempura udon, as well as green tea ice cream for dessert. 2. Tempura - they only serve you 2 shrimp tempura with the udon in deliciously, perfectly slightly sweet fresh broth [maybe Dashi? (a fish broth?)]. I understand why. I've never had tempura as Amazing as the one I ate (gave the other to my partner Matt). It was not your typical tempura shrimp, it was so much better (didn't think it was possible!). I want to eat Michi's (on Willowdale) for the rest of my life. It was That good. Next time, I'm thinking of ordering the seafood udon in soup and a side order of the tempura shrimp (tempura veggies may be equally as delicious. I'll need to try.) 3. Sashimi was very fresh and you could tell from the photo that they are quality cuts. My favourites were the torches tuna (I think tuna, ), the octopus and the deep orange salmon (which I think is the high quality salmon). My partner liked the same as well as the tuna that was not seared. 4. The beef sashimi may sound risky to someone who has not much experience with Japanese cuisine (at least, that's what I think), but I think for those dipping your toes into starting to try raw fish, and like steaks cooked medium rare/more rare than medium cooked, you will love this. I must say that it's even more delicious with enough wasabi in my soy sauce that made it a notch above of just spicy enough! 5. The staff and the atmosphere is exactly what I've been looking for in terms of "The Japanese Experience. THE experience where it sends me back to my trip to Tokyo". Our two female Korean, who I thought were Japanese, were incredibly sweet and very accommodating. I'm sorry I do not know how to spell either of the names you told me, but you two elevated my partner's and my overall dining experience. I'm going to keep returning as many times as I can. For a very special treat, I'm going to splurge on their Omasake (where the chef prepares sushi/sashimi according to what they think will be fresh and most delicious! I don't know if they specify how many pieces you get. I've had the Omasake experience in Chicago and Seattle at top restaurants, and I'm confident that Michi's here will create an equally out of this world's experience. It is a pretty penny though, I think $120/person. I think it will be well worth it to celebrate a very special birthday or promotion, graduation or just if you feel like spoiling yourself like crazy (Treat Yo'Self from Parks and Rec) PS: would be nice if the women's toilet would continue to flush without holding it down the whole time. Minor annoyance, better than no toilet! PSS: I think my partner, Matt and I are going to start an Instagram food account [we're working with the following ideas, but if you have other suggestions, I'd love to hear them! #ilovewordplays. Or ideas so far: @relate-eatable or @UltimateBias_restaurants (BTS inside joke, we are only immature Army fans )
Michi Sushi's sushi and sashimi are fresh and plump and melt-in-your-mouth good. We went there for a mid-afternoon treat and got: - Sashimi Deluxe: Chef's selection of 25 pieces of sashimi. Really fresh, portion size was enough for 2 people, and it was "plated" beautifully. - Willowdale Avenue Roll: We asked for a recommendation and this roll was it. Standard tempura roll with a nicy spicy sauce to add a bit of a kick. But the big plus was how it was "topped" with an assortment of raw fish, which made it extra special. So given the rave review, why only 4 stars? Simply, it's the price. The sashimi deluxe was $37 while the roll was $19. And yes, it was a generous serving size but not enough to make you $65 full. But Michi is really about the quality, so if you want some fresh sushi/sashimi and are willing to pay up, definitely stop by.
Great place to go! I love sushi and this is one of the best sushi Restaurants that I'll go ! Fish are very fresh and I love the Madai head which I think is not on the menu, you can just ask for it, and the tuna so very very fresh! The only thing I have to remind everyone is that is not easy to find parking, please expect some time to look for parking and please make reservation before you go since it is a small restaurant!
Came here with a friend to celebrate my birthday on a Sunday evening. The atmosphere was cosy, yet it did not feel crammed. The waitresses were attentative and kept replenish our tea throughout our meal. We ordered chicken karaage as an appetizer and the small sushi, sashimi and roll platter (21 pieces of sashimi, 15 pieces of sushi and 12 pieces of rolls) as our main. The karaage was decent, it was freshly fried, well seasoned and had a crispy batter. However, they used chicken breast meat, so the meat itself was slightly on the dry side. Maybe they should consider to use dark meat? The sushi and roll portion were served on a wooden board, whilst the sashimi was served on a bed of ice. Both were beautifully presented. I would say the platter was decently priced! There were lots of higher end fish (including: Botan ebi, yellow tail, sea bream, sockeye salmon, red tuna) and they didn't give us the cheap "white tuna"/ butter fish. A few sashimi pieces had tendons/ tough parts in it, but I'm not expecting the highest grade cuts for the price we paid. I really like their attention to detail - they fried the head of the ebi without us requesting! When we dined, I noticed there were 2 separate parties of regulars who sat at the sushi bar. They already have regulars after being opened for ~2 months! I will definitely come here again.

Went here for a low-key birthday dinner with a friend. We arrived around 5:30pm and the restaurant was empty at first, but it filled up pretty quickly after, which is always a good sign. The service was great and our waitress was super attentive, friendly, and really on top of everything. Even though the space is on the smaller side, it didn't feel cramped at all and had a nice, comfortable flow. We ordered the takoyaki and the sushi and sashimi moriwase. The takoyaki was perfectly done, it was crispy on the outside, soft and creamy inside, and full of flavour. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, clean-tasting, and naturally sweet. You can tell the quality of the fish is there. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back! read more
We stopped by here for dinner a couple of weeks ago and quite enjoyed it but if someone could let me know where to park, that would be great. The owner let us use one of the spots in the back but it didn't appear to be reserved for the restaurant so I'm not sure where else we would have parked. The restaurant gave me pub vibes and was somewhat dark. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We sat near the window where there was a large tv on the wall that was showing a video of a walk around of what one can only assume, is Japan(?). Wherever it was, it was captivating to watch. After perusing their extensive menu, we opted for the Salmon Combo and the Orangeville roll. Both were excellent and presented beautifully. I would definitely love to come back here but the parking is an issue. read more

I really enjoyed the sushi I got from Michi Sushi! I went during the week at 3pm so there wasn't anybody else there but I didn't mind! I was told my takeout sushi order would take 20 minutes and it did! The Orangeville and spicy tuna were my favs. I'll definitely be back for more takeout and probably a party platter or something. Very cute and intimate on the inside. read more

Worst sushi place and deluxe sushi set I have ever ate in Toronto. The fish is tasteless, very thin and rice are tasteless too, worst than AYCE quality or any other take out place. This place used to be good, the new mandarin speaking owner just doesn't know how to make sushi. The 5 stars review for this place is totally bullshit. Either they are fake or they never have Japanese food before. This place is way overpriced for its quality, I will never come again! read more
Based on reviews & pics - the place seemed pretty good, so we were pretty excited to go. The location of the restaurant was in a smaller street and there wasn't much parking (we went in the late evening, so can't imagine what it would be like during the day). The restaurant itself was pretty small and quiet! As for the food, it was priced a bit more than other sushi restaurants therefore we had higher expectations. The sushi, was nothing special but the rolls were pretty big - and I mean a roll w fire around it? Looked pretty cool! As you could see the restaurant had pretty good presentation as well! Would we come back? Probably not, nothing really stood out to us We ordered: Call 911 roll ($20), Salmon love roll ($20), Sushi Pizza ($12), Salmon & Avocado tartare ($15), Chicken Karage ($9), Tempura dinner ($23) & Agedashi Tofu ($7) Follow us @cindysfood (IG) for more reviews! read more

Great service & beautiful presentation of food. Their specialty rolls is a must get - satisfying and filling. Came here twice and both times enjoyed our meals thoroughly. Fresh fish. Prices are a bit steeper however in relation to quality. read more
With the overall reviews being 4/5 stars I certainly had higher expectations for Michi Sushi. Michi Sushi for the quality of ingredients they use is a bit over priced. If the sashimi quality was fresh I would definitely understand why it's pricier than other regular sushi chains. Sashimi was definitely not as fresh as I thought it would be. The scallop was slightly on the warm side with a weird taste. Their spicy udon was very bland. It's sad to say that my favorite dish was the edamame. Earlier on they also asked us if we had reservations which we didn't so they sat us right by the door, when they had a few empty tables, thinking it was popular since it's a new restaurant after all. After finishing the meal realized there was no one else coming since all the tables were still empty. It was hard to get the staffs attention to the point the chef noticed I needed service so he had to wave one of them down. It is definitely a cute and clean little place but I won't be coming back since my stomach felt super uneasy to the point of vomiting. read more
Cute little place, very homey feel. Waitresses kept refilling my tea! I was soooo thirsty that day so thank you!!! Ordered chicken karaage and small sashimi platter Chicken- freshly fried and juicy but had very little seasoning, tasted kind of bland Sashimi and sushi- very fresh and beautiful display, would order again read more

Are you looking for fresh fish, great appetizers and reasonable price? This is the place! Today was my first visit. And I'm so impressed with quality of food. Not over priced like downtown Japanese restaurant but "great quality" of food better than downtown restaurant. Must check out. You won't regret. I don't think I can be satisfied by the other Japanese restaurants after today. read more

This is the cutest sushi restaurant that I've been to. I am very impressed with their level of creativity. There are rolls in there that you'll never find anywhere else! The attention to detail is worth coming here for. The sushi looks beautiful! read more

Operated by Koreans, the sushi quality was not bad IMO. However the wait so so long.. We ordered only 2 items: an udon and small sushi combo, and the wait was over 30 minutes. The store did compensate us with an on the house edamame. They are probably a bit slow since it's only opens for less then 2 months. Quality if sushi combination is decent only - I do admit the quality of fish does not justify the price. Udon was over cooked as well... With their pricing there are better options in the area amd in GTA. read more

Iriana and I came here for dinner on the weekend. The location comes up fast; it's residential, then all of a sudden restaurants. The place itself is quite small, but very decorative. Service is good but come around a lot to make sure everything is ok..maybe too much. Food was great! I had the fried calamari and Crazy Salmon Lover Roll. The calamari was so good; didnt taste too oily! The fish was so fresh. We also got Edamame on the house! Would definitely recommend to any sushi lover! read more

Cute sushi restaurant. One of the best sushi in north York. Staff are friendly, food taste good but a little bit pricey. Very nice presentation. No parking space and you can't park on the street, we have to find parking space on the side streets and walk. Am glad it was not very cold. read more

Went here only because there were no other sushi places in the area. I believe its a korean family owned business so service is great but for the sashimi not so much. Some pieces were still frozen and the shrimp sashimi was marinated in sugar water?!? it tasted like candy.... charging too much for what they serve. The seafood soup I ordered is pretty much just cooked frozen seafood packaging from the supermarket plus salt. read more
Visited Sept 8 for dinner. Not to be confused with another restaurant Cafe Michi. Michi (meaning road in japanese) is a new hidden gem that is at the top of my favourite sushi list. Many of the patrons were korean speaking, so we were the odd ones out being Chinese. Dining room seats about 20, music was a bit unappealing with old school hits from the 1970's Both miso soup bowl were ice cold on the outside for some odd reason, like they were in the refrigerator. Pros The sushi regular was fresh, with one of the fish with what looked like gold flakes on top. A bit odd that it came with 3 salmons, usually sushi comes in 2's or 1's. The Willowdale roll (same name as the street this resto is on) 8 pieces for $19, which made us hesitate at first due to the price. This roll was recommended by the server, and was the STAR of the meal! Beautifully presented with a pile of sashimi which was unexpected. Couldn't finished this dish so a bit was taken to go. Attentive service, but the 2 servers had a bit of accent making it hard to understand at times. Looking at the rolls rice was thin and packed with ingredients which hinted at the quality and the skill of the chef. The tempura was freshly fried and the dipping sauce with a hint of sweetness. We finished the entire plate of tempura in 5 minutes it was that delicious! Cons Tables are a bit small, with barely enough room to fit everything. People walking by outside would look at me eating, so smile and chew with your mouth closed. Temporary menu has many items, had no photos or detailed descriptions. New menu being created in 2 weeks with unpopular items being removed. Location is a bit desolate with nothing in the area, you could check out Rona after dinner lol. Price is a bit high, and certainly worth it. Damage $64 pre-tip read more

Really love the sushi and sashimi. Tastes really fresh and love the soft firm texture of the fish! Would definitely come back for round two. Ordered a sushi sashimi platter, comes with salad and miso soup and tempuras (was really good too, batter was thin and crispy and shrimp and veggies were soft and on point). Price was reasonable (~$60 after tax and tips) for the quality and service. The waitress was really attentive. Pretty quiet for a Wednesday evening. read more

Came here for dinner on a Thursday night and for a small restaurant, most tables were already full. It's a cute sushi restaurant that has great quality and customer service! We had the shrimp tempura to start - batter wasn't heavy and added some nice seaweed seasoning to it. We then got a medium sashimi platter and two rolls. They knew we were coming to celebrate a birthday and gave us free grilled mackerel and upgraded the sashimi! Such a nice gesture :) will definitely be coming back to try some other items on the menu! read more
