    The Love Boat!
    Grahame G.

    Two words - Love Boat! Actually, make that 6 words - Love Boat and King City Roll. Ridiculously friendly service - everyone including the chefs greet you with a cheer when you enter, making you feel like a long-lost family member returning to the fold. Fantastic sushi, this was my first experience of a "Love Boat", which is (as you might expect) a boat-shaped wooden serving errr... boat ("dish" is too small a word!), laden with a selection of delicious sushi, sashimi etc. You can order various sizes depending on how large your party is. The King City Roll is a house specialty of deep-fried salmon, cucumber, tobiko and avocado. Just one of several special rolls available - they all looked fantastic. Washed down with some hot sake, this was an eating experience with good friends that I'll remember for quite some time.

    Salmon lover

    My Husband and I were in King City to see the Princess Margaret lottery home. So before heading home we stop by this small sushi place for a-la-carte sushi. We were greeted very warmly by all the staff including the chefs. This place is a small and cozy with about 8-9 tables, tucked in the corner is a sushi bar with 3 chefs making sushi away. The interior has some elements of Japanese decor combined with western furnishings. Small, clean, neat cozy sushi bar. Servers frequently swings by to check on us and fills our tea cups. Excellent service Salmon Lover: This combo is excellent for those salmon lover that wants to get a taste of sashimi,nigiri and sushi all at once. It consists of 5pcs salmon nigiri, 5 slice of sashimi and 6pc of spicy salmon sushi. The salmon was heavenly buttery, sweet and very fresh. It's good quality grade salmon because I don't get the fishy after taste. Spicy Double Double Roll: chopped spicy scallop mixed on crunchy batter and avocado wrapped in sushi rice, topped with salmon slices and tobiko. It has just the right of level spiciness, adequate amount of scallop and finish off with a slight of crunch from the fried batter. The teriyaki sauce mixed with the tobiko completes the roll with a tad of sweetness. Perfect scallop and salmon combo. The whole dining experience reminds me of the time in Yokohoma, Japan. Absolutely authentic Japanese dining!

    The Dangerous Roll is carefully protected behind the fence

    We are lucky to have this gem in the area. My first taste of sushi was in New Zealand 36 years ago and I've never looked back. Paper Crane is a home run each and every time but last night's visit was next level fantastic. As always the place was packed and take out orders were flying out the door. If you want to go, always call ahead to get a table because the restaurant is not large. Staff are all terrific. Friendly attentive service is the norm. Because we come often we decided to try a few items we don't usually order. Have to highlight the Dangerous Roll - carefully kept behind its own fence! Kind of hard to eat but what a fantastic creation - it will now make it onto our regular order rotation for sure.

    Dynamite roll wasn't the best I've seen.

    Walking in everyone who works there says welcome at the same time which is cute. Very very small place All tables crowded. The sushi was fresh for sure. But honesty it wasn't my favourite. Especially how EXPENSIVE it was. Very expensive. I wouldn't go back just because of the price but the sushi was ok nothing amazing I'd say , the avacado wasnt riped yet so it had a loud bite to it which also I don't like. My bf enjoyed it tho so that's good but honestly I wouldn't go back just because of the price. And the spicy sauce was different than others places which I wasn't a big fan.

    Stopped in for both lunch and dinner (different days, of course) and found that this establishment performed well on both occasions. Found the dinner to be on the verge of overpriced. Friendly staff.

    Inside. Love the pillows!

    This lovely little sushi restaurant in King City is amazing! I stopped by today for a quick lunch and had an awesome time. The interior design is super cute and makes you feel like you're at home with the cushioned seats and soft pillows. And cranes are everywhere, which I thought looked really neat! The environment was quiet/relaxing and the staff was extremely nice and attentive. The food was tasty and well-presented with fresh sashimi and rolls. Everything was prepared very nicely and quickly. Great quality! I had the Sashimi Dinner (16 pcs of sashimi) and the Dragon War (orange dragon roll, green dragon roll, 4 pcs of nigiri). They were both delicious - I would certainly recommend these items if you are looking for some variety in the familiar and generic stuff. However, if you want something a bit different, the menu has a wide selection between the rolls, sashimi, and sets. I definitely intend on coming back to try some of the more unique sushi rolls next time. I've got my eyes on the "Paper Crane" Roll, "Sexy Spicy" Roll, and the "You Know? Hot?" Roll. I am a sucker for sushi rolls with funny names!

    We stopped in here today for a late lunch. We weren't even sure if it was open but we thought we would check it out to make sure. We are so glad we did! We started off with some appetizers: Gyoza dumplings, Vegetable Tempura, Chicken Katsu, and Don Katsu (pork). The apps were great and I especially loved the vegetable tempura, such a great flavour, a good crunch, and you could taste the freshness of the vegetables. The Katsu is similar to a schnitzel and the dumplings had a great crunch on the outside with a tender and tasty filling. We then ordered the California Roll Tempura and the Sexy Spicy Roll - each serving was 8 pieces. I loved the tempura roll, and not just because I'm a sucker for just about anything deep fried! ;) the Sexy Spicy Roll was fantastic as well. After all that food I barely had room for dessert but the kids wanted a slice of cheesecake. We opted for the chocolate cheesecake which has a rich ganache over a thick and creamy cheesecake with chocolate chips in it and a chocolate graham crust. It was easily one of the best slices of cheesecake I've had! It wasn't too sweet and had the right balance of richness. The filling almost had a hint of amoretto in it and the chocolate chips were added a nice texture. It's not hard to tell that they use fresh ingredients and put love and care into their preparation. The restaurant is small, maybe about 30 seats including the bar and a small patio for about another 12 people or so. The service was friendly and welcoming. While they don't have delivery, they do have take out and I would not hesitate to drive up from Teston Road and Keele to take some home to eat!

    Lovely, quiet place in King city, on a cozy street of restaurants. Loved the friendly service and tasty, well presented food. Prices are higher than most places, but the quality is excellent.

    Sashimi bento box

    I went to Paper Crane with a friend for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. There isn't that much parking in the area but since it is more of a quiet area, it was quite easy to find parking. My first impression when I walked into the restaurant was that it was not a big restaurant but it was cute. I sat down and realized that the chopsticks were on paper crane chopstick holders! I was already set on having high hopes for this restaurant when the décor was already that cute. Their lunch menu is until 3pm so my friend and I each ordered a sashimi lunch bento box and then ordered the paper crane roll. We were also given complimentary miso soup. The bento box came with salad, two pieces of sushi, fried tofu, 10 pieces of sashimi and some purple rice. The fish tasted very fresh and I really enjoyed the entire bento box. It was really unique to have purple rice instead of regular white rice. Although, I didn't think that the rice was really needed with the sashimi bento box. Maybe a sushi roll would have been a better fit with the bento box. The paper crane roll though. It was so good. It had lobster tail, avocado, and crab meat wrapped in soy bean paper. It was interesting to see a sushi roll that wasn't wrapped in seaweed. My friend and I really enjoyed it. Overall, I would come back to Paper Crane again for lunch to try some of their other special rolls and bento boxes!

    Spicy Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Spicy California, Spider Rolls (look closely you can see the little blue and red cranes on the table)

    One of the best sushi places I've been go that doesn't serve AYCE. The staff is really friendly and just by the attention to detail in the decor (ceramic cranes resting your chops sticks at the table). Tuna tataki, fried calamari, miso soup, house salad and a variety of roles all came out quickly and made fresh. Living in Woodbridge it's a bit of a drive, but it's a nice change from being surrounded by average-to-good AYCE sushi restaurants. I'll definitely be coming back!

    This place has a lot of seatings and booth areas so you can have some privacy while dining…read more Extensive amount of food choices on the menu with decent prices. Ordered tempura vegetables and shrimp with 6 pieces total was only around $9. This tempura tasted truly delicious compared to other pricier restaurants! The whole staff greeted us the moment we came in with smile and felt their kindness/patience while we were looking through the menu. They were very accommodating with changing spicy salmon roll to dynamite roll in the dinner sushi sets for me since I don't eat spicy food. Other restaurants would always charge extra regardless if the price was the same or cheaper. The rice ratio for the rolls was PERFECT! Definitely the best one I've seen by far. I would love to try their signature rolls next time to see if they're the same. I would come here again for lunch and check them out. -1 star because: The sushi to rice ratio is a little too much so I had to take some off unfortunately. Also the salad that comes with the sets was bland, lettuce and 3 strings of beets.

    Love love loved this cute sushi spot in Richmond hill. Been…read moreon the hunt for a good bento box during lunch hours with sushi & protein, and this place met exactly that! For a lunch bento box around ~$17-18 it comes with a roll, tempura, salad, miso soup, rice and salmon teriyaki, I thought that the food quality was amazing. The rolls were not just basic rolls, they were packed with flavour, texture (tempura bits) and had an excellent rice-meat ratio. The salmon terriyaki portion was amazing. Service was a little on the slow side, the the food definitely made up for it. I'm looking forward to trying out other sushi rolls & menu items as their menu is quite extensive! Will definitely be coming back in the near future. If you're looking for a good place to stop by for quick sushi

    Solid 4 stars! I really enjoy the maki platter from sushi blue! They don't seem to have a website…read moreand it's not already on Yelp so I found out about it via Doordash. So i was a bit skeptical. But I'm glad I take the risk cuz it was good! And I've tried quite a few sushi takeout during these covid months. We ordered the 42 pcs maki platter. It comes with 6 California, 10 red dragon, 10 caterpillar, 10 dynamite, and 6 spicy salmon. With tax and fees it comes to about $60. (If not doordash maybe closer to $50). The size of the rolls are big and the ingredients are fresh. And I'm so surprised that the rice actually tastes vinegary! This is rare for Maki takeout platter! Tho it is a tad bit too sour, if they can reduce the vinegar by a little it would have been perfect. And their rolls are not drenched with sauce yet each ingredient is so flavorful. I really enjoy the caterpillar roll, it has grilled eel inside it was so good. I think overall it is a very reasonable price and the Maki quality is good. It was also relatively quick so we didn't wait long until the food arrives at our door step.

    This is a family run business by a husband and wife team with the help of their daughter…read more There are a couple of things that sushi blue stood out to me, in a good way of course. Firstly, I love the fact they give you a choice to choose between 5 or 9 pieces for their specialty rolls. I'm the kinda gal that loves variety but can't afford the luxury with rolls as they are often times too filling. At sushi blue, I can have my variety of rolls and eat it too! The second thing that differentiated sushi blue from other Japanese restaurants were their prices. I was amazed how much cheaper they were than some of the neighborhood sushi restaurants but let me assure you, the taste was just as good. For example, my black dragon roll would average $17 else where, but it was only $13 here. The texture of the rice can be a bit better but the quality of the ingredients was on par with my other favourite sushi restaurants. We will for sure order from sushi blue again!
