What a gem! We came here after an event and were amazed at this small sushi place hidden away. We were seated immediately and the waitresses were super humble and nice. Good came out in a timely manner and was extremely delicious. The rice especially here was perfectly seasoned! The decor inside felt cozy and in theme. There was even an accurate sushi clock which made me laugh. Definitely coming back when in the area! read more

Amazing service and good sushi! The inside of this restaurant is very cozy and a great local spot for some casual sushi. Their menu has a wide selection of nigiri, sashimi, rolls, and entrees. The service is pretty fast and the owner is the sweetest. I would come back solely for the amazing service. I ordered a selection of their sashimi (uni, tuna, scallop, etc.) as well as two rolls and everything was delicious. The fish was pretty fresh and the rolls were flavorful, and a good portion. Loved the uni here. Would come back for a casual sushi night! read more

Tokyo Sushi - Chirashi deluxe - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This local sushi spot is the place for fresh sashimi and chirashi dons at an affordable price! Tokyo sushi offers bento boxes, rolls, sushi and many different combos of "don" or rice bowls with quality ingredients! I don't think they have social media but go support them, the owners are so sweet! Inside the decor is minimal, it's a clean space! You can watch them make sushi at the counter. We ordered Chirashi Don and Kakimaze Don which both come with Miso Soup! read more

The history of this little gem dates back to the late 90s when the Sutton place hotel was next door to this restaurant. Many Hollywood A list movie stars gave signatures which are hung on the wall at the entrance way. They recently renovated and the seating is more comfortable with a partitioned back room. I stopped by for a quick lunch sushi set and there was so much food for $19 including miso soup that I had to pack it away. Their chirashi don is also amazing and highly recommended! read more

Tokyo Sushi - Lunch sushi set with spicy tuna, salmon and California roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Stopped by for dinner and got the Bento Box A. Comes with tempura, 6 pieces of california roll, 3 pcs of sushi and typical salad and miso soup for $16. Pretty decent overall. I think with these bentos it's a good value play as you get a variety of everything. Really no complaints food wise, just really solid. They have a decent amount of seating and good service. read more

We ordered in from Tokyo sushi and were impressed with the presentation. Even in the to-go container, the presentation was well done and it's normally even better when dining in. We ordered the spicy salmon roll and dynamite roll. The dynamite roll was tasty but the spicy salmon roll wasn't special. Not very spicy and could have some more flavour. The service was excellent and very kind. Would go again! read more

The most amazing sushi experience in Toronto. They are authentic. Nothing more needs be said. I lived in San Francisco. I know. I have not been since the pandemic...so maybe things have changed. But this was the greatest sushi experience I have ever had in SF or not. read more

Picked up some sushi for dinner at this place! Staff was very nice and sushi was really good. It's been a while since I've had good fish so I really enjoyed it. It is a bit pricier than other sushi places but you get what you pay for. I got one of their a special rolls, their Philadelphia roll - salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, avacado, and masago ($13). Like I said, I really enjoyed it! you could tell their fish is good quality and it really stands out. I wouldn't mind coming back another time. read more

My partner and I got sushi takeout from Tokyo Sushi. The food tasted good! Some niggles: -When I tried to order the california and dynamite roll set that I saw from their website's menu, I was told something like they don't offer sets anymore. So I ordered the california and dynamite rolls separately, which ended up costing $1 more. It's not a huge deal, but it would have been better if they update their online menu, or honor the pricing that I saw from their online menu. -For the 8-piece jumbo dragon roll that I got, two of the pieces were topped with salmon instead of eel. Seems like a cost saving measure. I didn't mind too much eating the two pieces with salmon, but it feels like I didn't get exactly what I ordered. EDIT: my partner saw a review in 2021(?) with a picture of the jumbo dragon roll that showed a bit of salmon on it, so it seems they put salmon on it for years but don't say so on the menu. -The soy sauce packets are made in China. We'd prefer better quality soy sauce not made in China. -Was it wasabi or horseradish that we got? Not sure. -I eat a lot, and for total of $43, it was not a lot of food, not great value for money, especially with some of the niggles mentioned. If we get takeout from e.g. Congee Queen, there'd be more food, and probably leftover, for the same price. I guess we'd eat sushi for the format/taste, but it definitely does not fill me up (unless I pay a lot more). From what I remember, years ago, a dragon roll that I ate from Spring Rolls was huge, if I remember correctly. Feels like shrinkflation. Overall, the food was good, but given the niggles, it's not something we'd eat often. read more

Excellent service, the waitress always recognizes us and makes us feel welcome. And the food is really excellent. Well worth it

They kept increasing the price and the quality of the fish is not as good anymore. I don't think it's worth it anymore. I am planning to stop going to Tokyo sushi. It's very disappointing as it used to be the best value and quality sushi in Toronto. read more

Very sweet staff and great sushi! Will definitely come again. Ordered the sushi lunch and it was great value.

Great Food and super fast! Awesome service - very kind owner :) I would definitely come back!

There are not many truly Japanese run sushi restaurants in Toronto now. Had a chance to revisit this small Japanese restaurant tucked away on St. Joseph street and decided to try the takeout. There is a small patio available. Menu has a lot of options. Friendly service. Tried the chefs special nigiri and jumbo dragon roll. The roll was interesting a futomaki wrapped with eel. Chefs special was a mix of nigiri and seared nigiri. A bit disappointed with the chef selection it was all regular fish: salmon ( regular and seared), tuna ( red and albacore) mackerel, amberjack, eel. Sushi was fresh and big portions. A lot of rice. Will try the other rolls next time. Overall nice Japanese restaurant in the area for core menu items. read more

Hands down my favourite place to get chirashi don and kamikaze don. Cant express my love for Tokyo Sushi enough! During the school year, I would come here with friends after class. In the summer, id come here with coworkers. Their lunch special comes with miso soup and salad, and the included items are a few bucks cheaper. I always almost get the chirashi don. Its an assortment of sashimi cuts with avocado slices and seasoned rice. Smushing the avocado into the rice and topping each spoonful with a drop of soysauce, followed by a slice of sashimi is heavenly. Sometimes when i decide to #treatyoself, i would get the kamikaze don, which has an assortment of diced sashimi, red caviar, fresh uni (sea urchin) with seasoned rice, and a sunny side fried egg in the middle. I love biting open the caviar to taste the salt and ocean flavour. This dish tastes better when everything is mixed together, however I always save the sea urchin as a separate delicacy to savor. *this dish makes me put down my phone* The manager is a tall and friendly looking older man, and he always smiles and greet you at the door. He remembers my shrimp allergy and replaces shrimp from my orders each time. In my recent visit, i had switched work locations, and he was actually able to recall that i hadnt visited for a long time. Feels like my go-to place for dons as long as i stay in toronto. read more

Tokyo Sushi - Kamikaze don! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The food here is really good but the service has been quite slow every single time I've visited. I understand that they get busy but that doesn't excuse bad service (taking forever to place an order, never topping up water and tea, etc). In addition to the slow service, the menu items are a little pricey. The last time I went with 3 friends, we ordered the extra large platter (which they advertised as for 4-5 people) and we left feeling hungry after spending $30 pp. I don't think the value is amazing here but the fish is quite fresh and tasty. If you're not a big eater or don't mind spending the extra cash then this is not a bad option around the area. read more

Tokyo Sushi - XL platter ($90) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Haven't came here for awhile and so happy they survived covid. Always the best service here and the sushi is as fresh and good as I remember. Too full to get a chirashi don which is my go to, we got a bunch of smaller plates. The soft shell crab is so yum! And we splurged on 45$ toro sushi's which were soooo worth it. Highly recommend the tataki here as well. Very unique dipping style rather than it laid out soaked in the sauce. read more

Tucked away on the side of a condo building, this little nook of a sushi restaurant blew me away! Don't let the dull exterior or small interior fool you. The restaurant is welcoming and cozy. The servers are attentive and friendly. The food is great and the fish is fresh. I always get the salmon avocado rolls and they never disappoint! The sashimi is also quite good, especially for the price point. I've heard great things about their chirashi don however have never gotten the chance to order it yet (definitely on my to-try list though!). By far my favourite part of the restaurant is the owner (at least I think he is)! He's often at the door, greeting you with the biggest smile as you walk in and will happily stop by your table to chat if you welcome him! Deeelish, consider me a loyal regular! read more

A little pricey, I had the lunch special Japanese Curry Udon $10.95. To add chicken, beef or shrimp was an extra $2 meaning the udon didn't come with a protein. I added chicken to mines and I only had a few pieces, those of which were dry (chicken breast). The lunch special included miso soup and a salad but they only gave me a salad. Overall, the ambiance was nice. But I could have gotten something better elsewhere. My boyfriend got a chicken teriyaki bento box $15.95. The chicken was dry, it was also chicken breast. Came with a few small slices, but he couldn't finish it because it was quite dry. We shared a spicy salmon maki which was good. The service was great, but for the price of the food, I expect better quality. read more

Tokyo Sushi is small and a bit tucked away. I've been here twice in the last month because the sashimi was good. Maybe the best in Toronto? The best I have had this year. It's not the cheapest but you get what you pay for here. I do enjoy less rice in my sushi and maki rolls and this place delivers. The sushi rice is really packed with flavour. Some sushi places cheap out on that and it just ends up tasting like regular rice. Service is pretty good, I had to ask for more ginger/wasabi a couple times to remind the server. Water and tea was only refilled when asked. The table next to me kept raving about the don bowls, which is something I plan on trying next! read more

Amazing amazing amazing customer service and food! My fiancée and I have lived in the area for 2 years and have frequently gone to Tokyo Sushi. The staff are so friendly and helpful, particularly Jenny, who always greets us with a smile and chats with us since we are regulars. Not only are the staff so incredibly sweet, the food is delicious! I find that Toronto sushi is usually hit or miss, but Tokyo Sushi is by far my favourite in Toronto! They serve delicious warm tea to you upon sitting down, then you can see the chefs at the counter preparing your meal skillfully and quickly. Truly a hidden gem just at the corner of Bay and St. Joseph. In the downtown area it is sometimes hard to feel that you know your neighbours, especially if you live in a condo. But the wonderful staff at Tokyo Sushi made us feel very sad to move away from the area. But we will definitely be back for the amazing food and to greet our friends! We love you, Tokyo Sushi! read more

+.5 for service So close to five stars! Lemme explain. I was volunteering nearby two nights ago, and brought up Yelp search to see any nearby affordable minimum 4-star restaurants. This came up, and the photos shown looked very scrumptious so I decided to give it a shot. Arrived at around 9:30pm, and the place was about half full. Not bad for late night. I was promptly seated and treated immediately by a waitress who gave me green tea (which by the way tasted very good, as it has that pinch of rice and sweetness flavour). I ordered the Tokyo Sushi Set, and I found the meal to be beautifully crafted with extremely fresh fish that's between thin and thick. It was simply delicious, and definitely I rate it among one of the best sushi restaurants in the downtown core. Now why did it lose one star? The set doesn't come with miso soup or salad! For $15.99 I sorta expected at least a soup or salad to start up, as is typical with all the other Japanese restaurants. However this one came with nothing. Just the sushi. I looked at the menu after and I didn't see any mentions of soup or salad to come with the sushi sets (didn't take a look at the lunch specials or the other combos). Lack of starter aside, I highly recommend this place for high quality sushi at affordable prices. I have a few other places I want to try before giving a final consensus to where I'll be having my Tuesday dinners from now on, as I'll be volunteering down by Wellesley for the next 6-7 months. read more

I've been coming here for years. I think they changed owners some years back... And renovated the place. But, here's what I think about the place currently. We live down the street from this place, so it's our go to place for sushi and bento boxes. They're fast, regardless of whether you want to go or to eat in. So when we're hungry, we usually stop here. In comparison to other places, they have a number of vegetarian options on their menu that allows us to go here with people who want that. We also love the salmon teriyaki here as well. read more

Simple little sushi place , clean & cozy inside (they offer private booths for groups of 4 or 5. Good spot for a quiet casual meal. The service was polite and professional and the prices were fair, very affordable. The sushi itself was very fresh and well prepared, they had a nice variety of rolls (the spicy tuna and spicy salmon were very good as was the rainbow). Definitely a nice spot to curb a sushi craving without breaking the bank. read more

Outstanding. Excellent experience. Came here on a Friday night ~730pm. Ordered the salmon don (8/10), the tempura appetizer (10/10) and the spicy seafood udon soup (10/10. Tempura was a nice mix: broccoli, okra, shrimp, sweet potato, squash. And a good quantity too for two people to share. Seafood soup was nice and spicy, great flavor, plenty of variety: mussels, shrimp, scallops, squid, octopus, mushrooms, spinach, onions, just fantastic. Salmon don is simple but good. Note: it no longer comes with salad. read more

At its price level and located in this part of the city (the Bay Street corridor), Tokyo Sushi does its job. And it does the job quite well, too. Service was fast and friendly; the ambiance was cozy and slightly upgraded from the typical downtown joint (without being pretentious). Bento boxes starting at $15 were decently priced; at this price point, though, I would appreciate appreciate slightly bigger portions. Maybe I was just hungry. The green tea was also on the tepid side, but it's complimentary so no complaints. The best part is the rice that comes with the sushi/sashimi; it's slightly vinegary and just full of flavour. The fish was very fresh. Tempura was breaded properly with a slightly sweeter aftertaste, but I'd prefer that to the overly-bland tastes you'd find somewhere else. Miso soup was complete yums! So the food is made with care. The verdict: Downtown convenience with Markham-level yumminess. read more

Came here with a few of my friends the other night and I have to admit that this place is pretty adorable. The decor is nice and clean. Love the autographed photos of celebrities that have been there hung proudly on their walls. Their menu is pretty vast from sashimi/sushi combos, bento boxes, to sharable appetizers. Everything was made fresh to order. The quality of everything was beyond my expectations for this place. We had ordered 4 different bento boxes and some appetizers and sushi to share. The only thing that I wish I could change about this place would be the speed of the service. Don't get me wrong, they are very friendly and have the ability to make you feel very welcomed. However, the service was pretty slow. Sometimes it felt like we had to flag someone down just to get tea refills but it was pretty busy and they only had two servers at the time we were there. So, with all that being said, if you fancy yourself a good time with friends that can carry a conversation accompanied with some great Japanese food than come on down to this place. You'll love it! =) read more

It looks like a dingy place from the front, in fact I thought it was a convenient store... But this place is amazing. The sea urchin sushi (i love sea urchins) is actually large!!! By large, I really mean it's comparable to what I ate in Hong Kong! Other restaurants in Toronto have served me only a tiny piece, this place served me enough sea urchin to cover the sushi :) mmmmmmm I love sea urchins I ordered the Kaisen Don, octopus, scallops, tamago (Japanese sweet egg), and salmon roe. With rice at the bottom. This was really good, the seafood so fresh and neatly placed on the rice. I got full quickly actually... My friend's Chirashi Don was AMAZING! A bit spicy too! Service was good, she was quick to come when we called and the food was served fast. Total = $50 read more

Toronto has a lot of sushi bars, some of which can be a HIT or MISS. TOKYO Sushi House (TSH) made the cut thankfully. Away from the busy Yonge Street, at Bay st and St Joseph across from St Mikes college at UofT, TSH is small, cute, quiet, clean and well priced! The service is friendly and efficient. Keep in mind they have an extensive menu from combos, to bento boxes, and shareables available. Our group of four ended up ordering Bento boxes ($12-17) and some sides; spicy salmin sushi, tuna, gyoza, and edamame (avg $3.50-8/ 6pcs) The sushi and ingredients were fresh, affordable and presentation was perfect. I'm glad this was the place of choice..... :-) Just be sure to make reservations as this venue is small, and street parking is available closeby. read more

Lived beside this place for a year and never tried it out because it looks pretty underwhelming from the outside. After seeing the reviews on Yelp I decided to try it out and honestly, I wish I did so sooner. The salmon sashimi / maki rolls we got were all pretty fresh and the overall quality of the food (and restaurant / service) was good. The price is slightly higher than comparable sushi restaurants in Toronto but other than that, everything else is great. read more

Tokyo Sushi is a well known establishment on St. Joseph Street. To be fair, I have only tried the Friday Roll (eel, avocado, cucumber) ($5.50), the shiitake mushroom roll ($3.50), the hamachi hand roll ($4.00) and Spicy Chirashi Don (approx. $16). However, I echo fellow reviewers, the food is expensive for the quality. The eel tasted as if it had sat in the fridge for a little longer than it should. The Spicy Chirashi Don is recommended if you have to choose from the menu. It has good flavours (wasabi and spicy mayo) with very little evidence of sashimi mixed with imitation crab.The portions, overall were smaller than most places. I would not recommend Tokyo Sushi House unless you are out of options in the neighborhood. read more
