    Handrolls
    Jennifer G.

    Came here for a weekend lunch and tried the salmon lover $22 which comes with 8 pieces of pressed sushi, 3 pieces of sashimi, and 1 salmon handroll. We also had the blue crab salad $9. The 6 piece handroll set was $32 and came with lobster, eel, scallop, octopus, squid, and yellowtail. Everything is okay. Maybe my expectations were too high but the reviews that this emulates an omakase experience are not accurate. I think it does have a bit of the feel of a chef handing you something to eat directly, but everything was slightly off. Maybe it was the rice? I'm not sure. Nice to try once but I will stick to other favourite spots instead. Service was friendly and interior clean and spacious.

    So pleasantly surprised with this location. The sushi was tasty and the price was amazing. We got 2 hand rolls, the oshi sushi and the sushi tacos. Considering how cheap the rolls were, the quality was surprisingly good! For an 8 piece oshi aburi salmon sushi, it was only $12, which I don't think you can get in many places downtown. The staff were so nice and you can watch the sushi chef making your sushi because of their bar style set up. It's like an omakase set up but a la cart. It would have been nice to have a few tables so we could go with friends, but regardless will order again. We also saw a lot of take out orders, so definitely very popular.

    My friend and I came here for dinner last night and we both had the sake/salmon poke bowl which came with salmon, mango, edamame, avocado, corn, tomato, seaweed salad, masago arare, tobiko, sesame, dry seaweed, homemade sauce, on a generous bed of sushi rice. The sauce was this avocado mayo concoction that was so tasty and complimented the poke bowl really well. I felt there wasn't that much salmon for the amount of rice they put. Next time, if I get the same thing I will ask for less rice. Service was friendly and fast! I also had the miso soup which was a tasty warm hug. The store itself is also really clean, minimalist, and beautiful.

    They soft-opened on 2025-03-30. During their soft opening period, you get 10% off the entire menu! They serve hand rolls, poke bowls, taco sushi, torched sushi, sashimi, and chirashi don. I ordered only one handroll because i have dinner plans: Maduro (Blue Fin Tuna) Handrool ($8.00). I got the 10% discount. The customer service was good. The indoor seating is sushi bar counter seating. You can watch the chef prepare food in front of you. The owner is a sushi chef himself. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom and it is wheelchair accessible. Review 2025-045

    We came here on a Thursday night and the restaurant was not busy. We were able to find 5 seats next to each other. The sushi was amazing and we had a great time here. We loved the torched press sushi. The handrolls were great. My friend loved it so much that she wanted to order takeout the next day.

    This was one of those dining experiences where every detail felt intentional…read more The presentation was beautiful without feeling overdone, and each piece was balanced and fresh. You can really tell there's a lot of care behind every course. What stood out to me most was how calm and focused the whole experience felt--it made it easy to slow down and actually enjoy each bite. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want something a little more special.

    It's been a while since I've had omakase. Yasu was easy to reserve and was under $200pp. The menu…read moreincludes 16 courses which includes 1 appetizer (containing 4 dishes), 12 nigiri, tamago, soup, and dessert. There were three add-ons (toro with caviar $25, uni with caviar $35, and caviar sushi). I opted in for the toro and uni add-ons. It was strange they give you the add-ons before any other nigiri. Everything was very good and fresh. Standouts for me was the appetizer, all three cuts of bluefin tuna, the lobster (by far my favorite), and the hotaru ika. I would've appreciated knowing that the omakase included or not included toro and uni before I decided on the add-ons but I don't regret it. It was a splurge night after all. Service was very attentive. Note that the dining space is very small. 12 seats around the counter and two tables. There was a very loud gentleman two seats from me who never learned to use his inside voice and totally ruined vibe. But that's not on the staff. Another note is that gratuity is automatic on the bill.

The ingredients were extraordinarily fresh, with the rice specially grown in and imported from Japan. The counter seating offers a front-row view as the skilled sushi chef precisely prepares every single piece right in front of you. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance--professional and sleek yet completely welcoming and unpretentious. Service was top-notch and refined throughout the entire meal. An absolute must-visit for sushi enthusiasts in Toronto--be sure to book your spot well in advance!

    Absolutely amazing experience at Sushi Yugen. We came here for a birthday and made a reservation…read morefor The Reserve, which is a combination of Kaiseki and sushi. We were seated in a separate room from the regular sushi counter. The chef carefully prepared each course in front of us. The Kaiseki portion was served first, and after each course was given to us one of the servers described each dish and its elements. The sushi courses were served afterwards followed by some desserts. They also gave us an extra dessert for the birthday celebrant. Each dish was really thoughtful and tasty, and the fish was really fresh. The highlight was definitely the A5 Wagyu beef course. The beef was so buttery and melted in my mouth. They even explained the quality of the beef and showed us a certificate of the beef's grading. It was worth the splurge for a special occasion! The meal was amazing and the restaurant itself was welcoming and not pretentious at all.
