Open til 2 AM and suits your late night craving. This is my second time here and first time dining in. Very nice environment and has a good vibe. The service is friendly and the food is fresh. The wait time is a little bit long if you're on the hungry side. Definitely would recommend it. read more

Nolbu - THe Alaska Roll and Dynamite Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

There aren't many Korean restaurants in the area (that's not KBBQ), so had to come here for dinner. I ordered the Japchae and I've had better elsewhere. I'm not sure how to put that the taste just wasn't there for me. The service was prompt as we had to ring the bell from inside the room. The side dishes were about the same as anywhere else. The menu was rather large with a mix of sushi and authentic Korean food. I would think it would make the overall quality better if they picked one or the other and not give so many options. read more

The food was pretty standard fare. Nothing to write home about. The gyoza in my bento box was hard like a rock because the chef spent too much time frying it. It's the service that deserves some attention though. Waitresses in other restaurants will automatically pour tea into an empty cup. At Nolbu, you have to ask for this to be done. They also will leave empty soup bowls on your table without collecting it. There was this really dumb cashier whom I dealt with at the front desk. I casually asked her the price of the hotpot to engage her in small talk. She said that it depends on which one I wanted. She opened the menu for me and each one of the hotpots on the menu were listed at $29.99. See what I mean by dumb? Then she tried to slide my credit card through the machine to get me to sign the credit card slip when anyone who has dealt with credit cards transactions before would know that credit cards with a microchip embedded in it requires the customer to enter their PIN. Again. What a moron. On top of that she seemed to be day dreaming when I was speaking to her because she asked me to repeat myself several times during our brief interaction. Maybe it was just a bad day for her but it is highly unlikely I will return for a second visit. As the old saying goes, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." read more

Friend recommended us to try. Food wasnt WOW but the selection was good. We came on mothers day night and surprisingly there were very few tables. However their food was great. Price was average. We ordered a wakame salad, takoyaki, fresh tofu, beef and seafood hotpot, Toronto roll, and steamed pork belly with vegetables. Takoyaki, my all time favorite food, was a bit on the smaller side here. It was a bit too crunchy on the outside, and dark. However, it still tasted good.. So I'll let the color slide. Toronto roll had a BIT too much cream cheese. I love cream cheese but my friends dont. Even I would admit there was a bit too much and it overpowered the rest of the sushi. I still liked it though :) The hotpot was good. For a two person portion it had a lot of things! Beef was pre seasoned so even without the broth, the beef was tender and seasoned to taste. This was probably my favorite dish there. Steamed pork belly with vegetables. This was a DIY wrap-like item. They were very generous with the amounts of pork belly given. The vegetables and sauces that came with it were also very good. Overall, portions were generous and I would definitely come back.. We had a table of five and for JUST under 20$ after tax and tips, we were all very full. Just need to know what to order maybe. Great place, great food.. Service.. I've heard they always have different servers. read more

See all

Average food and service, but this place being 24 hours will satisfy your Korean and sushi cravings anytime of the week, day, month.

Both their Korean and Japanese food is amazing. The menu is very extensive. Great side dishes, friendly service. Their sushi rolls are so tasty. The Korean soups are so good and their hot pot (though I haven't tried) looks so good. Every time I come here the service and food has been great! I see some reviews stating the service was slow or restaurant was unclean, which has NEVER been an issue for me and I've been coming here for 5 years. I've never felt sick from the food or seen any unsanitary practices. I even order take out from here and it's so good! read more

The food is ok, nothing special. They serve Chinese, Korean and Japanese food. Service is alright. However, I don't think I will ever come back here. Both me and my boyfriend didn't feel well after eating their food. ( We had 2 special rolls and sashimi platter). I guess the kitchen is not very clean. Don't come here if you have a sensitive stomach. read more

I ordered delivery from them for the first time and the sushi was very good. I also had oysters extremely fresh. I will defiantly order from them again read more

Just order roll lunch A to pick up, got a great salad and miso soup with 12 huge pieces of fresh california and salmon avo roll! SO FRESH and tasty all that for just 10$ great deal! read more

Came here around 1am with some close friends. My friends and I ordered tteokbokki, kimbap, and spicy Salmon sushi and jjajangmyeon as well some soju. Food was very good and portions were good. Kinda pricey for drinks and sushi but not super expensive. Waitress was also very kind despite it being late at night. read more

Not the greatest korean restaurant. Although I say that I do end up coming here twice a month due to its convenient location. However, I try not to come to this location because there are plenty of other great korean restaurants with great quality of food and great service. Nolbu's food is a hit or miss with its big menu. I would not recommend majority of its chinese dishes (especially the noodles). Sushi is okay. and some of the popular korean dishes are good too. read more

I've been here in the past and enjoyed their late night menu since they're open until 4am... but since ordering spicy salmon rolls and tempura last night, my fiancé and I have felt extremely sick. We will not come back as getting food poisoning sucks (100% certain it's from here) and I see that there are other reviews where people have also gotten sick from eating here. read more

This is more Korean not Japanese, service is very slow, it took 10 minutes to order and 25 minutes for sashimi to arrive. how long does it really take to cut the fish and make it sashimi ?!!! read more

Good spot to satisfy a late night Korean craving! Hot bubbling gam ja tang hits the spot on a cold night. Seating was comfortable, service was a little lacking but courteous. Could do with more sides! All in all a good place if you're looking for straightforward comfort food. read more

Good food, nice variety, fair price. Ordered from the Japanese menu only. Only disappointed in the whole meal was the side order of "multigrain rice". I was hoping for brown rice, but instead I got purple-coloured white rice with a couple of unandentified seeds. Wish they described what it is on the menu. It may be a well known item for some people, but informing other patrons of items and ingredients never hurts. read more

I'm not a picky eater, but when I ordered the bibimbap it felt like I was eating a salad with a spoonful of ground beef. It wasn't worth $11. read more

My favorite in North York right now. Good stuff and a reasonable cost. I have also never had a service issue here and I am usually in once a week. read more

Came here on a Monday night on the 29th of Febuary, the service was great. I had the teriyaki bento box as a post workout. Good portioning and free upgrade from Cali rolls to spicy salmon rolls which is another + !!! read more

This place is my go to. I love the hours and the service is always quick. The korean food is amazing, the sushi rolls are 4/5, but still for a place that does both korean and sushi, they do a good job on both. The sashimi is excellent I have to say. Decent price point. read more

Three of us that went there last night had a flounder sashmi combo. We had to return dishes twice because they had disgusting food stains over them. Horrible side dishes. Tempura tasted like they used old oil for extended length of time. White rice we ordered separate were too mushy. Sashimi was not fresh at all. Oysters were too salty and tasted partially rotten, that we spat it out right away. Salmon skin rolls were bad too of course since they can't cook rice right. Slices of raw garlic was cut so thick and dry, that it looked like a 12 year old cut it with a plastic knife. Severs didn't bother checking on us. We had to wave our hands at the servers at least 3 times to order more drinks. Highly Not recommended. read more

The only reason we are ordering food here is because of being 24hrs. There is a lady that seems like being the owner of the place and she doesnt care about anything but money . I dont like the cali roll in my bento box because its has no nutrition value, so I always change the roll with some other roll of exact price in the menu ,but here she's trying to charge us for it,even if its the same price roll ,also she's not willing to put a six piece roll in the bento box even when she's charging extra ,she's putting a 4 piece roll instead of a six while she already charged me for an extra 2-3 bucks . She's a horrible person to deal with and being very rude all the time ,like when im asking her to serve me my food the way i want it she's like : this is it , want it or not? And sadly i have to get it because as i said earlier this is the only place around that serving sushi until 3AM. If this restaurant is not your only option ,dont even think about it .there are plenty sushi places around that they are pleased to serve you , the way you want your food( moto sushi is my favorite ) I wish I cloud give this place 0 star review. read more

One of the worst places I have ever been to! Let me explain, as I pull up to their parking spot in front of the door, the owner (Asian guy) sees me get out and enters his restaurant. Does not know any English and is very rude right off the bat. So I think okay maybe he's just having a bad day. I sit at the table closest to the door by the window, as I'm waiting for my food I look around (as I normally do) and notice how very dirty everything was. I'm not talking like just regular dirty, I'm talking like black mold on the windows dirty and bugs on the floor dirty. At this point my food came, nothing was cooked! Like completely raw! So I sent it back and got fresh food. The whole time the waitress barely knew English as well and was also rude and trying to rush me so I would get out. So I finished, paid and as I was leaving, the owner (grumpy Asian guy) was giving me dirty looks. So I think to my self what ever. I go to my car and get in my seat. I take my phone out of my pocket and put it in my cup holder, put on my seat belt and start the car. All this took maybe 2 minutes at best. In that 2 minutes the owner (grumpy Asian guy again) came out and saw the parking enforcer guy and called him over. The owner pointed at the 3 parking spots in front of the restaurant and said "yeah yeah dees guys" the parking guy gives me a ticket! Goes the car beside me and at that time and old Asian guy runs to him and says "no no I'm just leaving" doesn't get a ticket ( even though he was at the dry cleaners beside the restaurant) so he goes to the third car and talks the driver who once again was Asian, no ticket! So I get out and say wtf am I getting a ticket for?!? The parking guy said because I was in a private parking spot that belongs to the restaurant and that only people who eat there can park there. So obviously pissed I start yelling saying I was just in there eating and I was in my car getting ready to leave. The parking guy told me to take it up with the restaurant owner. So I walk up to him who is still in the door way, and I say " why did you point to my car? You seen me just eat!" At that point he backs up saying " no no no, no English!" And slams the restaurant doors in my face. So now I'm stuck with a parking ticket all because I wasn't Asian! This is racism at its best in Toronto! Especially in North York! If your not Asian, then your an out cast, an outsider. I was born in this country! I have never been racist or mean to any culture or anyone for that matter! I would never go to another country, open a shop of any kind and be racist to the locals! Like what would be the point of me going to that country!? The fact of the matter is, if your white, black or hispanic or just an actual Canadian, don't bother going to this restaurant unless you want them to be racist to you too. read more
