This is the closest Japanese sushi restaurant to my office and I love their food! They have really cheap daily lunch specials which are packed with food. I get their bulgogi bento and albeit they are a Japanese restaurant, their bulgogi tastes exactly the same as some of the Korean places I've gone to. I've also had their spider roll and black dynamite rolls and they are equally delicious. The seating area is small and divey. The inside is like a lot of small hole in the wall sushi places. The owners are very nice and service is quick and polite.

True mom and pop shop, literally. It's a small restaurant with not many seats, tucked away in the Warden/Steeles plaza. Selection for sushi and boxes is quite diverse. There's also udon, ramen and even pork bone soup. I had a sushi bento box, sushi roll and chirashi. Prices are very reasonable. The portion is a bit on the smaller side, compared to most sushi places.

They are good but they serve too much salmon I wish I had more variety since we got a boat. Food was fresh but I've had better. Price was ok not too expensive.

I forgot which roll this was...but i know the other was a salmon hand roll

A local hidden gem It's in the warden and steeles T&T plaza....but it's in the row of shops near where wendy's was (replaced by green grotto 2.0) I discovered this gem one time while trying to get to new AYCE in the same plaza (thank goodness I went here and not in the new place because it really sucks) I only tried sushi and Bologagi, but so far everything was pretty good. What really hit the spot were the rolls though, they were so fresh! Made on the spot so often the rice and tempura is still warm (as it should be) and the sashimi aspect is still just a bit below room temperature (also as it should).

Miso soup and salad with combo

Went ot this restaurant fro a saturday night, it is a small restaurant, that is not very busy. This restaurant was surprisngly in many ways, as it is tucked into a corner of the plaza, and kind of hard to notice. However the food there was not bad The Spicy Salmon Sushi Roll was a very decent offering, as contained a fair amount of salmon inside, and was well made. The Bento box was a mixed portion. the sashimi was certainly not bad, and the tempura was well made. However the Sushi the salmon sushi and the like, the one problem was the rice, and same with in the box, they had added too much water to the rice, and it was overly moist, and that was not very good for sushi. i think they had just finished a new batch of rice, and had made a mistake with the water. since the previously sushi roll the rice was pretty good. Overall the service is nice, as it is a small family restaurant, and the price was fair for a sushi place. This is definitely more of a casual restaurant for family and friends, and definitely not a date restaurant. i would recommen people aroudn the area to try it, as it is a fair al la carte sushi place.

Spicy salmon roll

Never judge a book by its cover! The outside and inside of Sakura Sushi looks fairly dilapidated and in much need of a makeover. However, the quality of food and price more than make up for it! A tasty $11 shrimp tempura dinner bento box was amazing! And definitely rivals (and beats) most other Japanese restaurants that charge twice as much. This comes with miso soup, salad, sushi, shrimp tempura, and rice. All of which were fresh and delicious. The spicy salmon rolls were some of the best I've ever had! They put on small fried noodles (?) that give the roll a nice little crunch. The spice gave it a nice little kick and the salmon really stood out. For dessert I got deep fried bananas, which were pretty good and a nice end to the meal. My sister got seafood udon and upon stealing a spoonful I can tell you that I was very surprised with how good it was. The soup base reminded me of some of the udon I got when I was in Japan, so I'll have to get it next time! There was also quite a bit of seafood for the paltry $8.50 that it cost. Overall, the food was delicious and the prices were almost too low. Sakura Sushi has won me over, I'll definitely be back!

Sakura Sushi is one of those places you will overlook.. you don't even know it exist unless you look really really hard. It is hiding at the same plaza of T&T Supermarket behind Ajisen Ramen. You won't see it from either Warden or Steeles... I really feel sorry for this little place.. which is owned by a Korean couple. They do have lunch specials everyday for $7.95 that includes salad and soup. I order the sushi combo. The sushi taste quite good. The fish quite fresh. The miso soup is hot and one of the few I enjoyed. There is complimentary appeitizer too. The service is fast and friendly. I will for sure going back to try out their dinner box specials which starts from $9.95. Cash only!

?? @ all the good reviews here. I honestly feel bad for leaving a negative review since it is a mom and pops place but why waste money on bad sushi? We got the love boat which came with a variety of sushi, sashimi, 6 pieces of California roll and 6 piece spicy salmon for ~$35 and also a bento box with teriyaki chicken for ~$12. The first piece of eel sushi I ate was scorching hot. I kept hearing a microwave in the background so I'm pretty sure the eel and the chicken were just microwaved. The rice itself was way too soft and mushy and the temperature of the rice was too hot. The fish was below par of even an AYCE place which is rather disappointing. The salmon was slimey and the butter fish was way too fishy. For over $60 I should've just stuck to my go-to sushi place.

Yam Tempura.  Perfectly cooked.
Justin O.

Was given a recommendation to go here and ended up basically visiting when my girlfriend and I wanted something close by Warden & Steeles. Queue, visit! The recommendation I got here was basically to try the udon. So I ended up ordering udon with tempura (I only like yam tempura so I told them to hold whatever else it came with). I immediately loved when I was tasting. This is easily the best udon I've had within Canada - the soup base was THAT good. The tempura was just about as good - super crispy and cooked well. I don't normally like tempura sauce (I usually just use soy sauce with tempura) but my girlfriend noticed it had something in it that made it unique - and in a good way. This for the reasonable price of $10. The place is very small - I think I counted 25-30 seats - so there's only one waitress who works really hard. I came pretty late so I wouldn't be shocked to see this place being crowded. So come early or late to avoid waiting. The inside honestly doesn't look like much they won't win you over with atmosphere. Because of the size, I wouldn't come here with much of a crowd. They also have some Korean dishes - spicey pork bone soup is what my girlfriend got and she was pretty happy with it. She also got some Korean noodles, which I shared with her. They were pretty good, though nothing special. I do plan to return here if I'm in the mood for udon - 100% recommended. Give them a try!

Chiraishi meal.
Archimedes T.

Ordered the chiraishi don. Didn't even bother looking at the menu. In my opinion if you are a sushi place and you don't serve chiraishi then you are not worth my while. JT Sushi is an example of one I wont bother. Only exception to that rule is Solo Sushi ya. Anyway got some salad, miso, edamame and seaweed for appetizers. Standard gate for most Korean run sushi places but still good nonetheless. The main dish arrived pretty quickly. Though we were the only ones in the restaurant. Taste and texture is pretty much standard fate. Nothing special, but nothing bad either. The price is very good too. Only $10 plus tax for the meal. Cheaper than others. This restaurant has now earned a place as my default Japanese restaurant as Ninja Sushi quality just went down and Sashimi House is far for me.

Unagi hand rolls
R V.

Yoooooooooooooo, they don't jip out on the unagi like matsuda on middlefield and steeles does or that sad ajisai sushi on yonge & bloor.... *clapping hands emoji* you fuggin deserve a 7 star just for that.... like actually, actually..... really appreciate that. although it's small and looks pretty dim and run-down lol, don't let that put you off - the service is great and very friendly, they never forget shit, and the food is just on point. it ain't that hard to please customers with this place. truuuuuust coming back forever and ever amen *praying hands emoji* lololllllll

This was the worst sushi I've ever had in my life. A few years ago this place was fine. A few months ago I got cooked food and a few pieces of sushi and it was fine. Mediocre but edible. I got a red dragon roll (avocado/salmon). When it says shrimp tempura... it's a shrimp tempura base. Not a dynamite roll base. I could see the chef making the roll out of the corner of my eye and I feel like by the presentation I could already tell how it was going to be. It was just really clumsily made and it felt like they really didn't care. The pieces weren't even stuck together - in my photo we already started eating so that's not an accurate idea of it. I didn't think I was going to take a picture but felt like I needed to after I tasted it. 1. The portion was tiny. I'm 4'10. I really don't eat a lot but I was still hungry. So was my friend. 2. The salmon, same as last time, was not fresh. It didn't taste like anything and almost looked dry. 3. Worst shrimp tempura I've ever had. It wasn't that light flaky crispy breading/flakes you usually see on tempura. It looked like the fish and chips style of breading. It was so tough to chew - breading and shrimp (which was tiny and there was a lot of breading). Not fresh. At all. 4. The avocado was overripe and tasted like it. So overripe that when I picked up the roll with chopsticks, it just totally sunk in. You can see in my photo that the avocado is near mush. Put it all together and it was actually the worst. The unagi was okay though. Is it possible for even the wasabi and ginger to not look fresh? The dab of wasabi was tiny and looked dry. The ginger on the other hand had a pool of water around it. Even the edamame that came with our meal didn't look like a fresh green, it looked like it'd been sitting there for a while and had a dull brown tinge to it. I feel bad - this is the harshest review I've ever written. But if I made this for myself at home, I wouldn't even eat it. It was really, really bad. Service was fine for an Asian place. Tables and placemats felt grimy. It's funny because they have a steady stream of people every time I come. Mostly middle-aged Chinese ladies who order the boxes with cooked things. That's probably what I should have done... but I'm not coming back so I'll never really know.

Spicy salmon crunch roll. Good ratio of salmon, crunch, and spicy
Eric C.

I didn't know what to expect of this small restaurant but came out satisfied. The food was great and the value was really fair, there's not many places you can get a $10 bento box for dinner. The first thing I noticed was just how small this place is, but we still managed to walk in and get seats on a Friday evening. The menu is great with many choices of bento boxes, rolls, and Korean items. Don't expect to be amazed but the food is good and is great for the price. We each ordered bento boxes - most come with some sashimi, sushi, and rice with a 'main item'. I got the tempura, while my friends ordered the bulgogi and chicken terikyaki. All were standard and good. Don't expect heaps of food in your bento but with the prices of these bentos compared to other places you can get something else to compliment it and the price would still be comparable to other restaurants. More choices, power to the customer right?! Like get some rolls.. We also ordered the spicy salmon crunch roll ($6) and the spider roll ($9). The spicy salmon was great and had a good amount of salmon but I expected more than six rolls though. The spider roll was huge and they even gave us extra spicy mayo. It was crunchy and satisfying. Overall a great place and I would definitely return here.

Here is a true gem that is easily overlooked but definitely worth a visit. We were at another…read moreJapanese restaurant and they had told us that their regular menu was only available for lunch. This didn't sit well with us, so we had looked to Yelp to find another venue and Nichiban Sushi 4 U popped up. I never heard of Nichiban before, but I instantly recognized the location as another favourite food joint is located adjacent to them (Fat Ninja). We decided to give them a try. I can't say we weren't a bit hesitant when we arrived as they are located at the back of the plaza, away from the limited street frontage the plaza could afford. However, I can say with confidence that we were very happy we ate at Nichiban! The service was great, the prices were excellent and most importantly, the food was spectacular! The ingredients were very fresh and full of flavour! The bento box I ordered was well prepared and the food was just right. The chicken katsu was extremely tasty and the gravy was delicious! I loved the tempura: just enough batter to be flavourable and not overwhelming. I could actually see the vegetables underneath the batter, unlike other restaurants that simply oversaturate the batter. The sushi plates were also very good; the sashimi was ultra fresh and the presentation was great! Someone ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and everything was just right! Overall, I would highly recommend Nichiban to anyone who adores Japanese cuisine - excellent tasting food and great pricing will make you a believer!

Round 2, coming back for good value and good sushi. Came at a off hour, 2pm and the restaurant was…read morequiet. Tempura Bento - Came with miso soup, salad, California roll, 2 gyozas, rice, 2 shrimp and 4 pc veggies. They must have given more before because there was alot of empty space in this bento. Gyoza skins were hard pretty terrible to chew on. Tempura was nice, crispy and came out hot. California roll was pretty standard. In all a decent set. Torched sushi Unagi and hotate - 3 blocks of rice with a bit of unagi and scallop on top. It felt a bit unbalanced and expensive for what it is. Would not recommend.

I've frequented their Sheppard location only and this was my first time visiting this more spacious location with a small dining area. The lunches were reasonably priced for the quality of the fish and we enjoyed the salmon 3 ways don and the lunch sushi set that came with assortment of nigiri sushi and mini dons that were so cute! We added miso and side salad for added cost, but it was well worth it. Also took home a sushi for 2 and some sashimi (cut to order) and this dinner was also exceptional. Taro's will continue to be my go-to for fresh fish and now I have a great casual dine-in spot as well.

The space is bright, spacious, and finally offers something I've always wished for -- a proper sit‑in area where you can enjoy your food on the spot or order takeout to go. Beyond the dine‑in option, the selection here is fantastic. The Japanese grocery section is impressively stocked, with everything from pantry staples to harder‑to-find items. They even carry a wide range of sake, plus other Japanese alcoholic and non‑alcoholic beverages, which makes it easy to pick up something special for dinner at home. My personal highlight is the sashimi‑grade fish. The quality is consistently excellent, and I love packing up a few pieces to make my own donburi at home. It's fresh, clean, and honestly rivals what you'd get at many restaurants. If you're a fan of Japanese food -- whether you're cooking, snacking, or dining in -- this new Taro's Fish location is absolutely worth the visit.

We came here because of the reviews on Google, and like a lot of people have mentioned, parking is…read morefairly difficult. There are only about 4 to 5 spots in the front, and while there are some smaller plaza parking lots nearby and another parking lot across the street, most of the spots are marked for whatever store they're in front of, so park at your own risk. Upon entering, there aren't that many tables either. There isn't a lot of room for bigger groups but they can merge some of the tables together. The biggest issue for us was definitely how long and uneven the wait for the food was. We ordered at 12:15 PM and got our salads about 10 minutes later, but after that, the food came out pretty sporadically. The first actual dish didn't come until 12:44 PM, which was the tempura from the two-person set. Parts of the other meals and the rest of the two-person set slowly came out between 12:46 and 12:49 PM. The 30-piece sashimi and sushi set didn't arrive until 1:04 PM, almost 50 minutes after we ordered, and the actual salmon teriyaki which was just a small salad, salmon teriyaki and steamed rice from the bento was the last thing to come out at 1:09 PM, about 54 minutes after ordering. By that point, we had already finished the entire two-person set and another person had finished their udon and sushi combo. It's just not ideal when you're eating with a group and some people haven't even gotten the main part of their meal while everyone else is already finished. It also didn't seem like it was only our table. The table in front of us had a pasta order that seemed to have been missed. We heard the server say it was about to be ready, and then heard someone from the kitchen respond with something along the lines of, "There's another order for it?" So I do think the timing and communication between the kitchen and servers is something they need to improve on. We were served our salads first, but didn't get our miso soups until we asked for them. They were planning to serve them with the meals, but since we had already been waiting so long, we ended up just asking if we could have them first. For food, I got the two-person lunch set for $52, which came with a large veggie udon, 9 pieces of sashimi, 6 pieces of sushi, an additional 6 pieces of a classic roll, and tempura. We chose the spicy scallop maki for our roll. The sushi and sashimi were good, and the tempura was good as well. The veggie udon was a little disappointing though. It had one bok choy, a few pieces of mushroom, and then was mostly just strands of onion. The spicy scallop maki was also just okay since I couldn't really taste much scallop. Price-wise, I do think it's a little on the higher side for what you get. The quality was good overall, but for the price I would've liked a little more, especially considering the wait. Between how difficult parking is and how long and unevenly the food came out, I'm not really in any hurry to return. I think the wait bothered me more because we were eating as a group, and by the time two people finally got their food, the rest of us were completely finished. If they can improve the timing of getting everyone's meals out somewhat together, it would make the experience a lot better. 5% off with cash.
