Seriously though I think you should all come here often for lunch dinner whenever honestly you should come here like ASAP rocky! The service was decent but don't be expecting crazy theatrics, just low key candle lit fiasco. The boat on the menu looks absolutely crazy it is only $54 and it is literally a boat of sushi you half to use a boat in order to catch the fish that are going in sushi so I feel that it is an interesting idea to incorporate the mode of transportation into the meal but it's not a real boat ha ha. P.S. The bathroom was like a portal to a whole new world, wild experience. For the record, if I could give it 6 stars I would! Lets take that one star review from Kelsey's that I wrote... and slap it on this bad boi.

We arrived on the…read morelater side of lunch and were seated very quickly, with each of us choosing several handrails that spoke to us, as well as the salmon oshi and a couple of drinks. We were both blown away by the salmon oshi, which was delicious! In terms of the handrolls: *King salmon - very simply, but perfectly delicious *Crab - yummy! *Hokkaido scallop - this was my favorite, and if I had any room at the end of the meal, I would have ordered another one (or two) of this! *Spicy shrimp - this was fine *Lobster special - they had a lobster special roll, and this was great! Overall, really lovely experience and would definitely highly recommend!

Finding high-quality sushi in Toronto usually means bracing your wallet for a triple-digit hit. But…read moreHay Sushi is completely rewriting the rules of the city's omakase scene, offering a remarkably premium, expertly crafted multi-course experience for just a fraction of the price - truly a hidden needle in the haystack. By focusing heavily on flawless rice technique, meticulous fish-to-rice ratios, and pristine sourcing, this low-key spot punches far above its weight class. Here is what you need to order before the secret gets out. First, they nail the sushi rice - cooked to a gently glutinous perfection, with an individual grain texture that's graced with a subtle, crisp acidity that cuts through the oil of the fish. Each nigiri favours the seafood, the rice happily content as the background. Each piece builds in boldness and flavour, reaching a climax with the luscious and fatty otoro that easily melts on the tongue with a profound oceanic sweetness. Don't skip the Negitoro Maki add-on, as the kitchen packs a generous portion of finely minced tuna belly into a roll that barely manages to contain its filling. It offers little resistance as it quietly explodes with a rich, fatty flavour and deep umami. The futomaki is loaded with a medley of tuna, salmon, shrimp, and whitefish, alongside strips of fresh cucumber, earthy shiitake mushrooms, the crunch of asparagus, and their house-made tamago. Wrapped with a subtle hint of ginger and wasabi, these elements whisper balance, but the salmon roe on top bursts with umami. The service was impeccable and the seating was well-spaced, comfy and fit a modern, wooden aesthetic.

We have reservations but it seemed like if you didn't, there was a bit of a wait. The dining area was full of patrons. They had many options and the set meals looked delicious but I ended up going for the classic salmon don. After ordering however, there was a decent wait until we got the food. It took longer than i expected. When we got the food it was went presented, but looked like less food for the price I was paying. That being said it was delicious with the salmon being great quality and the rice was cooked perfectly. There was also onions on too which I didn't expect to like but it went perfectly with everything. Overall, it was a great time if going with friends to catch up with and you're trying to have a fancier night out!

**3.5 stars** Came here on a Saturday evening for dinner and…read moretook about 20 minutes before we found street parking. There were no seats available when we came and waited ~15 minutes before 3 seats opened up. Hubby and I both had the 6 hand roll set (negitoro, yellowtail, ora king salmon, Hokkaido scallop, snow crab, truffle lobster). They were all good but the ora king salmon and Hokkaido scallop were my personal favorites. We also shared the salmon oshi which came with 3 pieces. They have kid's menus but the rolls do not contain fish so my child opted to order a bluefin tuna hand roll and I gave her the yellowtail hand roll from my set. She said she liked both but preferred the bluefin tuna hand roll. They were pretty busy but it took a long time to get each hand roll and the salmon oishi took an exceptionally long time to come out. We had to extend our parking meter by another 30 minutes since it took so long. I also had to keep asking for water. I was acknowledged but the server forgot. Overall, food was good but service could have been better. Seems like they could use extra help on busier nights.

Absolutely disgusting experience. I would give zero stars if I could…read more The sushi had barely arrived at the table when I found a hair in the food. I forgot to take a close up picture, but I found this hair in the picture I took before eating. That alone was enough to ruin my appetite, but unfortunately, the hygiene issues only got worse from there. From the food pickup area, I could clearly see into the kitchen, and it looked filthy and poorly maintained. The women's restroom was even more shocking -- one of the toilets was literally covered in feces. I honestly cannot understand how a restaurant serving raw fish can operate with this level of cleanliness. The food itself was also terrible. The sashimi was served at room temperature, did not seem fresh, and the sushi was not good at all. When you are eating raw seafood, freshness and proper temperature are the bare minimum, so this was especially concerning. Between the hair in the food, the dirty kitchen, the horrifying bathroom, and the questionable sashimi, I completely lost confidence in the restaurant's hygiene and food handling. I will absolutely not be returning and cannot recommend this place to anyone.

I came here for lunch with my coworkers and we shared a tasting box plus a few rolls on the side…read more I don't eat cucumber, so I specifically asked for no cucumber in our order and was told it could be swapped with avocado, which I really appreciated. We were also informed it would take about 20 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 40-45 minutes due to the lunchtime rush. Totally understandable though, and the manager was very apologetic and even gave us a $5 coupon for our next visit along with our box. When the food arrived, the presentation of the tasting box was absolutely WOW.. it was so beautifully done. We were honestly just too hungry at that point to admire it for long. Unfortunately, I noticed the first roll I picked still had cucumber in it, and when we flagged it, the staff immediately looked into it. It turned out there was a miscommunication about the substitution, and most of the rolls in the box had cucumber. The manager personally came over, apologized, explained everything, and immediately took care of it by offering to remake the box without cucumber and providing a full refund, which really went above and beyond. Despite the hiccup, the service and care from the team really stood out. Mistakes happen, especially during busy lunch hours, but the way the team responded made a big difference. I'd definitely come back again.

I ordered the dream platter and aburi Syaki oshi. I wasn't expecting it to be nicely packaged and it was a damn shame we threw them out but I almost felt like I paid for the extra nice packaging only to have it be tossed... but it does make an excellent gift for someone who really loves sushi! I wasn't expecting the gold leaf OR edible flower garnish at all. It was a very cute touch on this very snowy day. The oshi sort of fell apart everytime I picked it up which was a shame because it was nicely charred and sweet from the mango. Bit of a personal peeve but I don't think sushi should fall apart when you pick it up with a chopstick. I think it should stay in tact. Next time I'm gonna order takeout and have it delivered so I can feel like I had a nice package of sushi delivered

The only "giant" thing about the order is the mountain of rice that a very thin, translucent piece of salmon covers. Inside the middle of the rice is also a sweet potato mash which I thought was unnecessary and not really good. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the waitress was really nice and even allowed our miso soup to be on the house because it was our anniversary and our Bruno Mars concert for the evening was cancelled due to weather.
