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).

?? @ 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.

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
Mike O.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Golden dragon roll and red dragon roll
Winnie L.

Came here for another visit - Sakura Sushi is my go to for great quality for price. You get exactly what you expect in terms of quality AND price. Lunch bentos are especially of good value. A little downside was that I got a roll in my latest visit with avocado, when I only ordered salmon and eel on top. Otherwise, another great visit!

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

See all

The establishment has a casual dine-in setup, offering a relaxed atmosphere suitable for a quick meal or a short break during the day. Despite being a dine-in restaurant, all food is served in takeout boxes, which, while convenient for those on the go, slightly diminishes the overall dining experience for those choosing to eat on the premises. The food quality itself was acceptable. Reasonably portioned, adequately seasoned, and prepared in a timely manner. While it may not stand out as exceptional, it fulfills the expectations for a casual meal. However, the main issue that significantly impacted my experience was the cleanliness of the tables. The first table I sat at had a noticeably sticky surface, which immediately raised concerns about hygiene and maintenance. Assuming it was an isolated case, I moved to a second table, only to encounter the same problem. A third attempt produced similar results, suggesting that this is not an isolated incident but rather a recurring issue throughout the dining area. A sticky table surface not only detracts from comfort but also gives the impression that cleaning practices are not being properly observed between guests. This, unfortunately, overshadowed what could have been a satisfactory meal. In summary, while the restaurant offers decent food at a fair value, the overall dining environment requires improvement, particularly in the table cleanliness and food presentation. Until this concern is addressed, I would recommend opting for takeout instead of dining in, as the food quality is adequate, but the in-house dining conditions fall short of acceptable standards.

The portions were actually quite generous for omakase, which was a nice surprise. There was a good variety throughout the course, from richer bites like uni and toro to lighter pieces that felt clean, delicate, and well balanced. I especially liked how fresh everything tasted, and a few of the pieces had that soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes omakase feel special. The savory bites in between also kept the meal interesting and made it feel more complete rather than repetitive. The only small thing for me was the pace. The chef served everything a little too quickly, so it felt hard at times to slow down and fully enjoy each piece before the next one arrived. Still, the quality, portion size, and overall value made this a very worthwhile experience. If you are looking for an omakase in Toronto that feels satisfying without being overly expensive, Mizu Sushi Omakase is definitely a place I would keep in mind.

Taki is a fine dining Japanese restaurant located in the busy commerical areas of Richmond Hill…read more We recently had lunch here for a special occasion. The restaurant is super quiet and they offer great quality of food with great service, and the price is expensive if you choose to order sukiyaki set (expect $80+ per person). You can choose between sushi sets at different price level or sukiyaki from the menu. This suits the need of our group given some people prefer sushi but some couldn't eat raw food. They also offer a couple of limited appetizer dishes such as tempuras and unagi don. If you booked the sukiyaki table and want to order sushi, you need to call them in advance to notify which sushi sets you want. We tried the sashimi and sushi courses at $55, which included miso soup, 5 pieces of sashimi, 8 pieces of sushi (squid, toros, salmon, scallop etc.), handroll and matcha or black sesame icecream at your choice. The sushi is smaller than average, suitable for small eaters. The course is totally worth the money. I love every piece of sashimi and my favourite sushi include the scallop and the squid. Everything was super fresh. The dessert was also having the perfect sweetness level for me. In addition, we also tried the sukiyaki for two ($110), which includes mushrooms, cabbages, great quality of Angus beef, yummy tofu and udon. Again, all the material was with great quality and super fresh. I especially liked the sweet sukiyaki soup, the tofu and the udon. We also ordered some shareable dishes including chawanmushi, unagi don and cod. Cod was cooked to perfect (soft and flavourful), and unagi don had quite decent portion. It would be better if the unagi could be softer from my personal opinion. Chawanmushi was mediocre. Overall, I strongly recommend this restaurant to fan of Japanese cuisine. It meets different people's needs by offering both cooked and raw food options, and the sushi set definitely has great value for money.

Got the dinner special $95omakase. It's a really good deal compared to their other omakase combos…read more This one doesn't have sashimi but I didn't miss it because the nigiris were all so satisfying on their own already. Was worried it wouldn't be filling, but it's just the right amount of food. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a traditional Japanese meal, this would be my spot. The sushi chef was very friendly and approachable, but he wouldn't make you feel like you need to yap with him like other omakase I've been to in Toronto where they would talk to the customers a lot. The wait staff was attentive and polite. Overall really good quality sushi, service and value. Would come again! I also appreciate that they don't require a deposit for reservations and don't require to pick the set you want beforehand. Very clean and warm design. Felt like I was in Japan!

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.
