A great stop for quick and tasty sushi. It's tucked in the back of a convenience store and is kind of easy to miss, but definitely a hidden gem for affordable, no frills sushi. It is basic stuff-- nothing fancy, but the combos include miso soup and they've got all your standard spicy salmon, california, dragon etc. Made fresh to order. If you want to sit and eat you might be out of luck as there are only a couple stools along the bar. But you're probably better off doing takeout, or you're dining beside shelves of beer ;) read more

I had a quick stop for a snack after my class. I was looking for something fast and no frills when I found this sushi joint inside a convenience store! It's really decent for the price. There are 4 bar stools if you prefer to dine in. For me, it serves it purpose - fast, no frills, easy food. read more

Really good for the price. Made fresh in front of you. It's a bit hot but this is definitely a takeout place first and foremost. The service was super quick literally the second you order the chef starts making the sushi. I will define coming here on lunches read more

Convince store, take out sushi and a dry cleaner all in one. I was very skeptical about trying this hidden gem. Roll & Roll Sushi at JC Mart has fresh sushi made right in front of you that tastes 100 times better than the regular sushi from grocery store chains. The shop is a little bit hidden, inside the convenience store, but it is definitely worth looking for. If you want a quick grab and go or just want a quick meal you should definitely try their delicious sushi. They have a couple of chairs in front where you can finish your meal. The clerk is very friendly and while you wait you can play hide and seek with Choca the shop dog. Or you can even order ahead of time and pick up within minutes. I'll definitely be returning ! read more

I am so glad I found this takeaway sushi counter! Prices are reasonable and everything was made right after I ordered. I am not a fan of sushi or any fast food for that matter that's been sitting out for a while. Definitely will return as I'm a big fan. read more

I wanted a memorable date place so I checked this out. I was really hoping for one roll to be bigger. The place is okay and edible. It's pretty fast service and you can have take out and walk to David Pacaut Park for some shade. Miso soup is great and simple. No complaints. Give it a try. Your order included the ginger and wasabi with it . Don't forget soy sauce pack, chopsticks and napkin. read more

I came here after reading all the conflicting reviews & really wanted to try it out. I came in through the side-entrance where the laundromat was (whoops!) but the guy behind the counter told me to go through from there "just this one time". The store is relatively small with all your convenience store fixings. The sushi-bar occupies one very small corner. I peeked over the top of the glass and a man greeted me. I ordered the the combo 1 with: 5 piece sushi, 5 piece sashimi, and 5 piece dynamite roll. I paid first at the front (it took a while for the man from the laundromat to reappear to cash me out). It took about 5-8 minutes for my order to appear. I was given 6 (!!!) pieces of fish in total: butter fish, red snapper, and salmon. The sashimi was cut to a decent size, not exactly THICK but definitely not lacking. The sushi was basically the same in terms of what fish they use - the rice was fresh and packed tight. The dragon roll was fresh but the shrimp they use wasn't big enough to stretch to the last piece - the last piece consisted of a tail and the cucumber slices. The miso soup was average, there wasn't a lot of ingredients inside but I didn't find it extremely salty as other reviewers have. I walked around the store to buy Indomie and Haagen-Dazs (GET THEIR BROWNIE & COOKIE DOUGH!!!) and when I went up to pay again the (same) man asked me which combo I had for sushi so he could charge me. I reminded him I already paid and we both laughed it off. It seems like the sushi place has a lot of regulars. I'm not sure if I'll come back as I feel like I could've gotten better value for $20 somewhere else. read more

First time in Toronto was looking to eat sushi. The first place that was recommended was closed due to a private event. The next place we tried was closed down and then we found this gem. The owner was kind enough to let us sit to eat though he was closing. We ordered the Spicy Tuna roll and Philadelphia roll, both were made fresh, restaurant quality in a market setting. We ended up ordering another two sushi rolls to go. Highly recommend. read more

Novel idea, sushi counter within a Convenience Store / Dry Cleaners, but actual sushi was just ok for me. There are some stools to sit at if you want to enjoy your sushi there! Conveniently located across the street from the Shangri-La Hotel. My baseline is my usual takeout sushi place and these rolls fell a bit short of that. Spicy salmon rolls had the extra sauce on top with the panko crumbs, so it does somewhat hide the quality of the fish. So keeping it short and simple, be open to going here - yes, even though the setting is unique - but don't expect to be wow'd. read more

Dan the sushi chef was super nice and made our sushi rolls quickly. The food came out quickly and my kids enjoyed it very much. it was fresh and quality of the fish was great! read more

Such a cute place! Love the service and the selection of sushi was good. Small but quaint.

This is my favourite sushi in Toronto. A bit unorthodox being that the tiny restaurant is inside of a convenience store slash dry cleaners but whatevs! The same gentleman seems to be the person making the food each time I have visited and it is very clear he takes pride in his food. My fave rolls are the spicy salmon and green dragon - perfectly rolled, super fresh, and just YUM!! read more

Roll & Roll by JC Mart - Green dragon and spicy salmon roll - soooooo yummers - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I like the concept of having a sushi bar in a convenience store and enjoy the idea of being able to attend to all your basic needs in one place. However, the food quality was lacking for me. I picked up two combos for dinner and the price was the same as eating a sushi restaurant nearby. The sushi was okay but the miso soup was inedible. It was salty undrinkable water without even a piece of tofu or green onion to identify it as a miso soup. Thankfully it was takeout so I resuscitated it at home. Maybe the price is better during lunch but there are better options if you are looking for dinner. read more

Located in JC convenience store/dry cleaners shop on the corner of Nelson and Simcoe Streets. Lunch specials until 3:00 PM. The condo we stayed at is on the same block on Nelson, so I got the poke bowl the night we arrived. It was very Good, so I went back 2 days later to get a lunch special between my exploration of the city. Very reasonable: the lunch special was US$13.67 (I don't remember what the poke bowl was, as it was in a large order.) Definitely recommend, better for takeout, though, as there are only 4 seats at the counter. Menu is extensive, and it's hard to choose what to get. I may end up going back again! read more

I just had to check it out....because I couldn't believe it's a sushi + dry cleaners + convenience store in one. Less off putting then I expected cuz there's a separate entrance for the dry cleaners and one for the convenience store with a sushi bar inside. When I went inside I was impressed at how clean it was. Not too busy at lunch time today but a nice steady flow of people, not chaotic and kind of calming from the normal Toronto Path lunch time lineups. I ordered the lunch specials. L2 which is the California roll with the dynamite roll for 9.99 and ordered the L5 which is the spicy salmon roll with dynamite roll for 10.99 and the total came to about $23.71. Meal had very large portions and came with a mediocre side salad and miso soup. But the rolls were pretty decent, though next time I would ask for more wasabi and no sauce on my dynamite roll. Once you get your order (mine was takeout) you pay at the convenience store cash and head out. They take credit card too so it's pretty good. I'll drop by again for another quick, cheap, sushi fix on the go in downtown Toronto. Thanks Yelpers for recommending this place, wouldn't have found it without you. Was looking for a version Sushi Bong (in North York) but in the heart of Toronto and I think this comes pretty close. I'm not giving this 5 stars because the food is mind blowing...but it's satisfying, quick, great location, kind service, filling and hits the spot without breaking the bank. It's probably the only sushi joint around that happens to be inside a convenience store and a dry cleaners. read more

Had a bento lunch here on Friday, and ordered the California roll and salmon avocado roll (total of 12 pieces). My friend highly recommended it, praising literally everything about it - from the sushi rice to the dressing. To be completely honest, I didn't find it that good at all. The sushi rice was very soft indeed, nothing like the portions you typically find elsewhere. However, the salmon pieces weren't that flavorful at all, though there were generous portions of avocado. The dressing was forgettable, in my opinion, and the wasabi lacked in flavour. Was not good at all! Overall, it was an all right meal. read more

I usually come here about once or twice a month if I want a quick sushi fix. It is hidden within a convenience store offering lunch specials. If you are in a rush, they also take orders over the phone. You can either eat at the sushi bar or just order for takeout. In both cases, you pay at the convenience store counter which is odd at first. Their lunch specials come with salad and soup. Then you add a choice different variety of rolls, sushi, and sashimi. I order L6 as I like nigiri with some rolls as a balanced lunch which tends to fill me up. Don't expect too much for the price but it pretty good value plus the fish is fresh as they have a large lunch crowd. I think more people come in for the sushi than buying from the convenience store. It is outside of the path but a quick run from between the subway stations. Definitely will come back since it is close to my office. Only wished today wasn't that cold. read more

The sushi guy has no personality.. Its so disgusting that he wears no gloves as he is making or preparing the sushi. It's so sad because the owners are really nice. In the past the sushi and the chief was awesome. It was great going there weekly. Now, I don't even go there. Change the chef and you will see 5 stars instead of 2 read more

A hidden gem in downtown indeed! I was browsing on yelp for a a more affordable sushi place since all the sushi places in the PATH financial district are ridiculously expensive for the amount of food you get and I am so happy I found this! Tucked at the back of a Korean convenience store, I was kind of skeptical at first, but $7-$9 for a lunch combo that comes with rolls, sushi, salad, orange slices and a miso soup, I really had no reason not to try. And I'm glad I did! I've been back a few times ever since! Sushi is fresh although the salad could be iffy sometimes, but overall, this IS a bang for your buck! If you want something different outside of lunch combos from this place, I HIGHLY recommend the charashi as the portion is massive and the variety of sashimi it comes with is amazing (go look at my pictures later) If you want an affordable and GOOD sushi takeout spot in downtown and don't mind walking outdoor for 10-15 minutes from the PATH, this is a place you must go! read more

I've been trying to find a casual sushi place in Toronto. I am not a huge take out fan, but I wanted to try this place from the reviews. I ordered the Kame Sushi (16.99) and the Dynamite Roll (9.99) to go, which came with miso soup for two. I browsed the convenience store while waiting and they have quite the random assortment of things (from party favors, eyelash curlers, light bulbs, to frozen wontons). The rolls were okay - not super memorable but nothing wrong with freshness or taste either. I was surprised the miso soup didn't have anything in it, usually there's some tofu and green onion. Not amazing but not bad for the price and convenience! read more

Been coming here for 6 years, this korean owned small business family is so kindhearted and hardworking. They are the best hidden secret for big sushi rolls at a normal price. You won't find anything better! It's a hole in the wall in the back of a convenience store. Many memories here. read more

I would give this place 5 stars if I could. But being inside a convenient store is a bit off for me lol. This is a true hidden gem. Just off the financial district a bit you'll find this sushi take out inside a convenience store/ laundry store. There's only about 3 seats not really meant for ppl to sit down to eat. Just buy and take out. The price is reasonable and sushi is fresh. Since I cannot eat sushi there's still a vegetarian option which is nice. The dinner comes with soup and really filling. read more

i was visiting my gf and this place is conveniently located near her so after parking i decided to check my curiosity by getting some takeout. i just wanna say im REALLY surprised these guys dont have a restaurant. we ordered 3 rolls (double dynamite, deep fried salmon and black dragon) the first time around and were blown away when we opened the boxes. they looked super legit and tasted totally amazing/fresh too with a good ratio of filling-to-rice. *update* we came again and ordered rolls as well as some sashimi. thumbs up for consistency. meal was just as superb the second time around. young man behind the counter is very hard working. i think theyve found a loyal customer in me! P.S. if u order a lot of food be prepared to pokemon go around the block and come back in 25-30 min while they prepare ur food or better yet call ahead to avoid the wait! read more

I was so intrigued by this place when it came up on Yelp and it's only a 5 minute walk from my work so I finally tried it today!! It's such a funny concept- a convenience store, dry cleaners and sushi bar all in one but it's really not as weird as it sounds once you're in there!! They have lunch specials until 3pm...I got one with a california and dynamite roll and it also came with a soup and salad....about $8.99 I don't think I've mentioned this before but I am a BIG dynamite roll connoisseur, they're my absolute favourite and there's definitely places that make better ones and worse ones. The rolls were super fresh and had a good ratio of rice to the stuff inside! It was also a really cute presentation in the box and he put some oranges and the salad had blueberries! Different but cute. Now to the dynamite rolls......UNREAL!!! I noticed there was something different in them but couldn't tell what until I finally realized..DILL! they had dill in them!! I'm a huge fan of dill flavoured everything, throw it on some dynamite rolls and you've stolen my heart. I don't think I can get sushi anywhere else now!!! The California rolls were good too but tasted like any other California rolls...the soup cold have been saltier and the salad dressing was a little too gingery for my liking but I am not knocking off any points because I was so satisfied with those rolls!!! The guy working there was also super nice, I chatted it up with him and he said he's the only one that works there! He said he has a lot of regulars- people who work in the surrounding buildings. I also told him he had really good reviews on Yelp which he had never read so I was reading some to him while he made my sushi! :) I will 10000000000000000000% be back!!!! read more

One of the best sushi places I've ever had!! Such a hidden gem, I absolutely loved coming here to pick up sushi during lunch. I mean, dry cleaning and a convenience store too - what else could you ever need in life? It definitely is a casual takeout place that serves its purpose of selling good sushi and doesn't do much more in terms of ambiance and decor (so you shouldn't take a first date here). My go-to is the white dragon roll and its absolutely delicious! The fish has always tasted really fresh and the rolls have the perfect texture. Each piece is probably bigger than an average sushi roll so the serving sizes are fairly big too. I get pretty full without even finishing the whole thing so for the amount of food you're getting, the price isn't bad at all! I'd honestly prefer dry cleaner's sushi to AYCE just because I feel like the quality and price range is better. As a tip, I highly recommend calling in for pick-up to avoid waiting there. read more

The sushi counter itself is located at the back of the convenience store, arguably a little sketchy, but so well worth it for the price + quality. They have a couple of lunch specials for 2 rolls + a miso soup and they're super quick, so you can walk in and out in less than 10 minutes for sure. As others have mentioned, quality isn't amazing, but solid, and definitely much, much better than you might expect from a convenience store. Their workspace seems clean and they get quite a lot of customers especially throughout lunch and dinnertime. read more

This was a great find in downtown Toronto. I walked to pick up my order and almost passed the place. The sushi bar is at the back of a convenience store. The sushi was very affordable, fresh and well made. They could benefit from an online ordering service or at least a website where you can view the menus. read more

I live down the street from this place, walked by a hundred times and never thought to step inside until someone recommended it to me. But seriously though, it's a dry cleaners with a neon "sushi" sign...I can't be the only one who's a little sketched out. I found out recently that the dry cleaners, convenience store and the sushi place (inside the convenience) store is owned by the same family. The 3 storefronts are all connected in the back. The owners also have a super cute poodle that runs around the store if you ever pop by for a visit. I've been to a lot of sushi places and I have to say that for takeout sushi, Roll & Roll is amazing! They have a huge selection of rolls and some really unique ones. Their rolls are also ginormous, with an average of 10 pieces. The prices are surprisingly high (min $9.99 per roll), but I think that's because they're so huge. They also have a variety of platters starting from $35/$39. We got the sashimi/sushi/roll platter (38 pieces) for $44.99 before tax and couldn't finish it all with 2 people. The rice was good, the fish was fresh and I would 150% come back! I think I've found my go-to takeout sushi place that's close by my condo. read more

Heard about this convenience store sushi place for a while now and finally got a chance to visit! We ordered a couple of special rolls, a chirashi (came with miso soup), and a salmon don to takeaway. The rolls are not cheap for a sushi takeout place, as most of the special rolls are minimum $10. We ordered the dynamite roll, rainbow dragon roll, and black dragon roll. The portions were huge, the rice and fish were fresh and of good quality! Definitely exceeded my expectation. I can't wait to come back to try other rolls and will recommend this place to anyone looking to get sushi takeouts in downtown toronto. read more

I frequent this place far too much to not have a review. I always get the spicy salmon crunch roll. Huge portion and well-priced at $9.99. Surprising quality, not what you'd expect from a convenience store/dry cleaners sushi store. Protip: Come early or order ahead during lunchtime. It can get busy as they make the rolls fresh one by one each time. I'm sad I don't work near the area anymore because this is one of my favourite hidden gems in the city. read more

ate here last night after a late class! it was a bit hard to find at first because i didn't realize this place was actually inside the convenience store.. the environment was quirky and cute! there aren't a lot of seating options (4, in a bar like counter) so keep that in mind. the sushi itself wasn't the best sushi i've had, but it was definitely perfect for a quick bite that i needed after a long day. i also spoke with the chef the whole time, and really appreciated them listening to me ramble on about my day. also there's a lot of drink options which i really appreciated. i ate the spicy salmon roll, which was very large and filling. i'll definitely come back next week!! read more

Ten bucks for a sushi lunch downtown with big portions is a win. We 'dined in' and then four others came in after for take out. Everyone of us were confused where to order and pay. You order at the sushi bar then pay at the cashier of the convenience store. If you 'dine in' you can just leave your finished trays and plates there. They also offered refill of miso soup. Quality can't be compared to a high class sushi restaurant downtown but for the value and quality given at the back of a convenience store, definitely can be a go-to place to satisfy sushi cravings or grab a quick lunch. read more

This place is quite good. It is downstairs from my condo and we walk by the convenient store everyday but never went in. Last Saturday, we were having a lazy day and wanted Sushi. We were about to go on Queen but noticed that this place had really good reviews. I joked to my husband to try the convenient store Sushi thinking it was grocery style meaning everything is premade. However, after reading the positive reviews we had to give it a try and were pleasantly surprise. There is a Sushi cafe inside a convenient store!!! The sushi is made as your order and there are quite a few specialty rolls. The prices are very reasonable and even better than some of the Sushi restaurants I have been to in Toronto. Definitely worth a try if you live around the neighborhood and want take out Sushi. read more

Been here a few times and decided to finally post a review. Location-wise, the sushi counter is tucked away at the back of a convenience store. Not an area with the highest traffic and I rarely see more than one person in-store, but I imagine enough condo owners give it their business. On to food: Having moved to the area half a year ago, I was at first sceptical about purchasing sushi from a convenience store. Do they follow adequate hygiene practices? Is the fish fresh? Fear not. On my roommate's recommendation, I eventually caved to my salmon sashimi craving (I am a die-hard fan) and bought the Salmon Lover combo. This consisted of salmon sashimi, salmon sushi, and salmon nigiri. Sashimi pieces were larger than I had expected. Everything was fresh and succulent. Price was on the higher side (-1 star), so this would be an occasional indulgence. I hear they have lunch specials for select rolls, though I have yet to try them. This is primarily a place for take-out, but they have a few (4? 5?) stools at the counter, should you wish to eat there. Call ahead of time if you don't want to wait. Overall, excellent place for a quick, convenient sushi fix. read more

I was intrigued after hearing so many great reviews and how unusual this place is. A sushi restaurant inside a variety store/dry cleaner? wow. In a city littered with AYCE Japanese restaurants, finding quality sushi has proven to be difficult. Even the ones that pride themselves on quality and the very idea of "fresh" sushi hasn't really lived up to the standards I have come to realize since my last visit to Japan. But...that's another story for another day. This place is genuine. The sushi is made with great care despite their shoddy appearance. There's no denying that all the ingredients taste as fresh as it can be however fresh doesn't always equate to quality. This is after all...a takeout place. I applaud their efforts and their pride in what they do but in the end of the day the sushi while is fresher than most is still lacking. The prices are very reasonable and I really have no complaints if you're looking a quick sushi fix but it's not really as mind-blowing as everyone claims it to be. read more

The best sushi you will find in a laundromat/convenience store IN THE WORLD. The selections taste fresh, rich, and delicious, and it's not too heavy on the wallet. The lunch combos are definitely something to try out and well worth the money. Not to mention the sushi guy who makes everything is very candid and willing to please. If you are ever in town and craving sushi, check out JC Mart! read more
