Been a loyal regular at Toshi Ryoriten for a couple of years now, and it's about time I put my thoughts into words. Especially since it's just a quick hop from home, making it my ultimate go-to for omakase cravings. Every course arrives fresh, from the melt-in-your-mouth sushi to the thoughtfully crafted small plates, all bursting with pristine flavors that never disappoint. The chefs bring such a fun, engaging energy to the counter too, turning each visit into a lively experience (highly recommend sitting at the sushi counter), and at this competitive price point, it's no wonder I'm always plotting my next trip back. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-tier sushi without the fuss. read more

Only 6 spots available at the sushi bar. So make reservations to avoid disappointment! The chef is Japanese unlike some of the other omakases in the city. And price is also at par with what you're getting. I dont believe in paying 300-400 and getting salmon sushi... I really enjoyed this place. Have been here countless times. They hot dishes are really good and the hot noodles really tie it in after all the sushi. Highly recommend! read more

+.5 for service This is my first restaurant in 2025. Unfortunately my first restaurant of 2025 does not result in a positive review. Toshi Ryoriten has always been lauded as a Japanese fine dining spot in Richmond Hill. I went here the first year it opened, and from my memory I feel like I've My parents and I opted not to do omakase. Maybe this was a mistake? We honestly didn't feel like doing omakase that night, and we thought given the reviews here many of the items would be consistent. We had the ika sugatayaki, hotate oven yaki, tuna carpaccio, and the premium sashimi moriawase. I liked the ika sugatayaki, but the others were extremely mid. The hotate oven yaki had barely any taste, the tuna carpaccio was very ordinary, and the premium sashimi moriawase had some fish that had that frozen taste more than the freshness. Considering the elevated price point of this place, it didn't meet the standards I was expecting, especially considering the reviews here. Service was good here, but unfortunately good service doesn't make up for the subpar food quality I received, and therefore I can't see myself returning here. read more

Would highly recommend the sushi or Toshi set. Every dish is meticulously put together and you can really see the effort put into the plating and nigiri pieces. Service is very attentive, and the vibe is relaxing relaxing. Price point matches the quality of the food. read more

This place is super great and spectacular. They are more on the lowkey side of town operating a small shop that can fit less than 40 people. However, once you walk in you will be complimented with respectful staff and a great sushi chef that has worked at the place for many years. Compared to other omakase experiences/sushi restaurants, this is beyond one of the better places especially with the affordable price. The restaurant is quiet, but offers a great view of the sushi master preparing the sushi. I personally got the Omakase set for $98, where I had 13 items. It was one of the best food experiences of my life. Although we were not served by hand from the chef, the uni, foie gras, and toro were spectacular, it had so much flavour and also melted in your mouth. It was my birthday the week I went, and the server had overheard me talking about it, where they have given me a complimentary slice of cake. Exceptional service indeed. Overall, this place deserves all the love because they are consistent with their food, great service overall, and the ambiance is great for a date or even going out with family. 10/10 read more

Disclaimer: I generally include pricing and value in ratings. Toshi Ryoriten exceeds my usual price range by so much that this review doesn't consider pricing or value. My friends wanted to try a nice Japanese restaurant, so I went along. I knew it would cost like $10 a piece of sushi. How fresh? Very, very fresh. Melt in the mouth soft. There were some unusual fish selection. Plating was meticulous. Services was effective and politely out of sight when we wanted to be left alone. The only critic was that a friend said his cooked dish didn't worth it. read more

A lovely omakase experience in the GTA! The staff are Japanese and the food is authentic, with ingredients sourced from Japan. They have an a la carte menu as well but I would highly recommend going with the omakase option and reserve a seat at the bar so you can watch the chef in action. I really enjoyed the mix of appetizers paired with the traditional nigiri sushi. Everything tasted fresh and I would happily come back again. read more

This place was recommended by a Japanese person. Got the toshi special lunch & chirashi sushi lunch.  The miso soup had a light, clean taste: not the usual packet flavour. The salad fresh & lightly dressed.  The sushi & sashimi were above average. Side dishes of seaweed and flavoured long beans were good too. The pickled ginger was delicate. read more

The good: I would like to give this a solid 4.5 stars. The price per person is $95, which is very reasonable compared to other places in Toronto. And a bonus point that it's in Richmond Hill, you don't need to travel far for an authentic experience :) The set is complete, with 2 appetizers, 11 pieces and dessert. They also note on their menu that their fish is flown from Japan. The staff are also Japanese. The service is friendly and attentive as they promptly refilled my tea. The wait for the next dish was never long and everything was served at a good pace. Last but not least, their ambiance! It is a cozy place with maybe room for 15-20 at the front. The sushi bar fitted around 8 people. To my surprise when I went to the washroom, there were more booth style seating at the back. However, if you'd like to see the sushi master in action, I highly recommend the sushi bar. The bad or needs improvement: I'd love to have a multi-set appetizer and dessert. Wish they had more than than the 2 bites! read more

Came here for my husband's birthday and had a great time! We ordered the Toshi sushi set which was quite filling. We sat at the bar which made our meal take longer to prepare as the sushi chef gave us our nigiri one by one. However I noticed that the people seated at the tables would get all their nigiri at once. Since there was only one sushi chef, our meal ended up being 2 hours long and there was a long wait in between each piece. We saw a few tables arrive and finish their whole meal during our time there. Next time I think we will sit at the tables as the wait between each piece was a bit too long. However the meal was delicious and we enjoyed every part of it! I think the price is reasonable compared to other restaurants. read more

This is my third time at this restaurant. I brought my parents here to celebrate both their belated birthdays. The food still doesn't disappoint me, and my parents loved it. The service was great, always coming, making sure we were good, and asking if we enjoyed the food. The place wasn't too loud, so people could still talk to one another. We ordered the Toshi Course, which is the Omakase. The price for it wasn't too expensive, so I do recommend giving this place a try. They always serve what they have, whether it's fresh or seasonal. read more

I'm torn. I had heard about it from a friend that is a regular and he had high praises for the place. When I first visited here sushi was amazing... so much so that I have to go back with another friend but this time is wasn't as great. Still really good... especially compared to the non-authentic shops that just push out volume and low quality for low price. Seemed like some of the items have changed. Perhaps it's a seasonal thing and those fish are not in season. Will have to try again to see where I land. Glad we have a good authentic place nearby. So 3.5 stars because of the mixed experiences but rounding up to give the benefit of the doubt. read more

Phenomenal Omakase experience. Sitting at the bar, served by the very owner and head chef himself, my girls and I had a phenomenal experience. Attentive, friendly, customer focused, amazing experience. Food... wow. Amazing. Ordered the sushi course which consisted of Tsukidashi, chef choice of 11 pc nigiri sushi, handroll/roll of fresh fish selection of the day, small noodles bowl & dessert this experience is definitely worth coming back for. Though on the pricey side $75, I would 100% come back. The nigiri is fresh, each piece with a new introductory complimentary taste whether it be ginger, or fresh fish flakes, fish eggs... you can tell the fresh authenticity and love he pours into each piece. Ordered side roll, and tempura appetizer to split with a friend at dinner as well. If you've never tried an omakase experience, grab a reservation at the bar and enjoy!!!!!! 5/5! From your fellow community yelper. read more

Located in a strip plaza with a Freshco as an anchor this unassuming restaurant is authentic in decor and food. We came on a Friday night just before 7 and 30 minutes later the place was full. The restaurant is not that big, there is seating by the sushi bar and a small seating area at the front. Booth seating is down the back of the restaurant. There are 4 booths for seating for 4. Reservations are recommended. This is not a place to come to if you want an endless list of different types of rolls. They have the standard of California and Dynamite and Futomaki but it ends there...nothing with cream cheese etc. The lunch menu is different and seems to have more options. Portions are on the smaller size. On the night we came there were 2 servers and service was slow. We ordered a couple of white fish rolls and the rice was so warm that the roll came apart and the fish was slightly fishy. Meal did not end on a high note. It's a lovely place if you want authentic. read more

Location/Service This place is located in the plaza intersection of Major Mackenzie and Leslie - the same spot where FreshCo is located. Plenty of parking available around the plaza. Interior of this place is small, but not crammed. There is a bar table and in-dining tables available, probably for about 25-30 guests - so definitely best to call in for reservations to secure a spot. Decorations and design are pretty standard to a modern Japanese layout. Staff were very nice and they explain in detail on every food item that was served. Food I signed up for the Toshi Course, which is a omakase of 11 nigiri sushi, sashimi, 2 appetizers, hand roll, noodles and dessert for about $90. It's not as expensive as a I thought and it definitely filled up my appetite. Sitting by the bar table, you can witness all the sushi pieces come to plate. All the food were very fresh, high in quality and generous in quantity slices. I particularly enjoyed the fatty tuna and eel. The noodles and dessert was great as well. Overall eating experience took about 1 to 1.5 hr, so you don't feel rushed and you also feel it's enjoyable. I like how interactive it is with the chef and definitely recommend for those wanting to try reasonably priced omakase. read more

This place was so good and inexpensive compared to other omakase/sushi places. I am from the US and so I didn't know where to go but I found this little gem and it was amazing. The staff was super nice and friendly. I read some of the reviews and someone said they were too slow but omakases are usually that way especially with a small restaurant with limited staff. I enjoyed it fully and every thing was so delicious. I brought my friends and it was group of 9 and they brought everything out together. I loved the vibe and it felt very traditional. read more

We came here on a weekend for dinner. We tried their sushi course. The sushi were fresh and tasty. The quality of the fish was great compared to its price. I particularly like the fried shrimp head. It was very crunchy. The foie gras sushi melted in your mouth. It was a good dining experience overall. The restaurant is small with 5-6 tables plus sushi bar. It was full on the weekend. Reservation is highly recommended. Maybe because of the size of the restaurant, I find it a bit too hot. I was sweating during my meal. Hence, minus one star. I'll definitely come back when I crave for quality sushi and don't wanna drive far. read more

amazing spot. Very flavorful fish, quaint atmosphere. Good service. Sushi prepared well.

Service took incredibly long (but it was mother's day). I waited almost an hour for my katsudon. Thankfully, it was fairly delicious and the server was very apologetic throughout. The last time I came here, it was for omakase -- I actually don't know if this is the restaurant's best feature. Their cooked food in general seems to be quite good. The sushi is serviceable too, but don't sleep on stuff like their tempura. read more

Found out about this gem of a place in RHILL in 2021 and I can honestly say it's one of the best quality omakase for the price!

Excellent sushi, terrible appetizers, mediocre and painstakingly slow service. Quaint atmosphere, but loud and boisterous patrons. The smell of burnt plastic was present throughout the meal. Would not recommend the omakase. The 11 pieces of sushi is not worth the price tag. Especially if you have to wait 20 minutes between each bite in a half full restaurant on a Friday night. The entire meal lasted 2 hours, of which 95% of the time was spent waiting. Waiting for a menu, waiting for tea, waiting for food, waiting to clear plates, waiting for more tea. Do not come here if you are hungry. In short, the sushi is amazing, but everything else is lacking. Sashimi appetizer - good. Fish is fresh, delicate and had a nice bite to it. Shrimp and pumpkin dish did not have a nice flavour. The broth had a weird burnt plastic aroma. The fried shrimp was soggy from sitting in the broth, and the broth itself just tastes like overly sweet water. But at least the pumpkin tasted ok. Uni nigiri was delicious. A nice combination of fresh uni, sushi rice, and some salmon roe. Yellowtail, chicken and green bean appetizer was just ok. Green bean and chicken were cold and rubbery. Apparently served that way intentionally. Flavour was ok, but was definitely bad idea to serve cold and sitting in broth. Was NOT enjoyable to eat. The yellowtail was actually served hot, and tasted good. But a bit weird to serve hot and cold food on the same plate. Squid sushi just ok. The rest of the nigiri was really good. Fresh, buttery and rich tasting fish, with well seasoned and not overpowering sushi rice. Although the nigiri is not well structured. The rice falls apart when you pick it up. Foie gras nigiri was decent. Well seasoned rice, nice char, and a buttery and rich texture and flavour. Hand roll was as expected. Same as the nigiri. Delicious. Noodle soup was lacking. Soggy and overcooked soba noodles, under seasoned broth, underwhelming dish. The dessert was surprisingly really good. Black sesame pudding was soft and sweet with a light but not overpowering black sesame flavour. I'm just glad that noodle soup wasn't the last thing I tasted. I would not come back for anything other than sushi. Every other omakase I've ever had I left feeling full and satisfied. This is the only time I've ever left hungry and unsatisfied. What a waste of money. read more

Pre-covid review: Toshi Ryoriten isn't afraid to start boldly: right out of the gate we're served a sashimi of two tunas and shima aji (?). Usually, there's a build up of dishes until the tunas are presented - I didn't mind this procession, having a rich taste of fish within the first bites. They were all a great temperature and thickness, the way you want sashimi to be. I just wish someone described the dish to us, instead of just having the sushi chef drop it down and walk away. Dinner then switches to hot eats, a cube of tofu incorporating seaweed and slivers of crunchy lotus root. Fresh from the fryer, it's hot and the tofu's edges are remarkably crispy against the silken centre and the thickened sauce adds flavours without making it soggy. If they made this into a tofu steak, I could eat this instead of sirloin any day. Clean and crisp uni (sea urchin) and ikura (salmon fish roe) generously tops a sphere of warm rice and makes for a big flavourful bite that's creamy and leaves an oceany umami essence to the tongue. The grilled yellowtail looked better than it tasted; sadly, the lean fish was overcooked. And after the amazing egg tofu, the crispy rice "biscuit" was surprisingly dull and bland. The best part of the dish was the blanched spinach, at least it's cold and refreshing. After all the starters, the nigiri experience begins - eleven pieces of bite-sized sushi made at a well-scheduled pace. With about 3-5 minutes between each piece, it's enough time to admire (and photograph) and converse, without feeling like an overdrawn affair read more

Toshi is one of my favourite sushi spots uptown, and every visit is always fantastic. They serve authentic and fresh sushi, as well as Japanese fares, and alcohol. Chef Shinji (the owner) has many, many years of training before opening this restaurant - so you can expect the best! You would think weekdays are not as busy, however I've came on a few weekdays and it's always been a full house! I recommend making a reservation asap, and especially if you want to the sushi bar to experience the Omakase. There are two options, we opted for the Toshi Course which gave a variety of fresh selected nigiris, sashimi, and seasonal dishes. For $90, it's honestly not bad at all, and would recommend this option. The servers are very nice, and recognize my friend and I (mainly because we always ordered their Foie Gras sushi on the other visits ) I would have to emphasize, Toshi is not a typical cheap spot to get sushi. It's alittle upscale, so if you're looking for a cheap sushi spot, Toshi isn't your destination (our bill is usually $100+ minimum when we come) For more foodie adventures, follow my IG: Ayenomz read more

Walked in on a Thursday evening (7pm) and only saw one other table seated. The nice waitress walked us over to the end of the bar seating as we were having omakase here. I really can't believe this was my first omakase as I loveee jap food and have been to japan too. Anyway, the restaurant seating beside and around us quickly filled up which for me added to the ambiance and vibe. Although another couple was seated right beside me, I still felt lk the restaurant was very clean and safe. There was plexiglass between us and the chefs with a small opening at the bottom for them to hand us our food. As for the omakase, I didn't take pictures of every single item as I was also trying to enjoy the moment at my first omakase experience. This is where the chef makes the dish in front of you and once it is served, you eat it right away. Every single dish was sooooo tasty (oishi!!). My favorites were the otoro (fatty tuna, no pic sorry) and the fois gra sushi! There was also a hot soba noodle dish, a choice between maki or handroll and some other sushi. For $95, I would recommend this omakase to any true Japanese food lovers out there. This is a great price point for this type of meal. The temperature, texture and quality of all the food was on point. The chefs didn't interact with us too much, but it was nice to just see them make the food in front of us and tell us the Japanese names of the food as they handed us our sashimi/sushi. They seemed very polite. Not sure if this is a family restaurant, but it seemed lk 3 generations of chefs making the food for us. Sake was delicious. $60 a bottle for the gold label. We enjoyed it so much we ordered another. It comes served in a cute bamboo ice bucket which kept our sake ice cold. Perfect drink to cleanse our palettes between dishes. They carry asahi black here too (drools). Overall, I am glad a lot of the Covid restrictions have been lifted and I can enjoy indoor dining more often. I've only been to a small handful of restaurants in person in the past several months. This was really a wonderful experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a "reasonably" priced omakase (I hear other places can be $125-300 per person). I personally would come back to have some of my favorites and some drinks on a regular day. I would order the omakase again for a special occasion (or if you're just rich, go for it lol). If you love great sashimi/sushi, please support this local small business! read more

I did a take-out order of the Sashimi lunch special for $23.50 and the portion was so small, I had to confirm with the waitress that they got my order correct before leaving. If these 12 pieces of sashimi were excellent quality, I would have been perfectly fine with the price. However, I would rate the quality of this sashimi from Toshi as being on par with what you would get from the T&T grocery store or an AYCE buffet. The sashimi didn't taste very fresh, and didn't have much flavor. Even the Hamachi was soggy and soft and didn't have the slight crunch or chew that you get from fresh high-quality fatty Hamachi. The sashimi lunch specials from places like IKON or Zen would be a similar price point to Toshi, but infinitely better quality. If you are doing take-out, then seriously consider going to Taro fish down the street instead. And if you thought the Toshi sashimi couldn't get any worse, the sashimi slices were absolutely butchered! I thought Japanese sushi chefs took pride in their knifework. Not only were the slices cut un-evenly, they were paper-thin. Some slices were cut into trapezoidal cubes that were at most 2 cm wide. If this were a true Japanese sushi chef cutting this sashimi, they would be embarrassed. This chef really needs to go back to peeling daikon instead. In this time of Covid, I want to help out the restaurants as much as possible. I completely understand that restaurants are struggling and trying to make up for some lost profits. But there is a fine line between trying to make a profit and robbing customers. Jacking up prices, reducing portions, and using cheap sub-par ingredients is a recipe for losing all your customers. I'm scratching my head as to why there are so many positive reviews at this place. Definitely taking my business elsewhere... read more

Ordered the $90 omakase and it did not disappoint. The 2 seasonal appetizers were very tasty as well as the soba noodle soup. With this meal, you get 11 nigiri, 2 are missing in the pic because I ate it before I remembered to take a picture. When the chef found out, he made me an extra one just so I can take a picture. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. She saw me rubbing my stomach after the 9th piece, she came by to let me know they can always pack it for me to go, I don't have to force it if I'm full. She also recommended a great bottle of sake within our budget. I think the $90 is a great value compare to other omakase in RH. It you don't care for 2 appetizers and sashimi, they also offer $70 omakase with 11 pieces of nigiri as well. It is one of my favourite so far. I would definitely one back and try other items on their a la cart menu. read more

Whether it's your first time having omakase or not, this place will blow you away. Their quality is amazing. So incredibly fresh! And I must say the chef is a genius.

This is my second time at Toshi Ryoriten celebrating my husband's birthday. Toshi is a Japanese restaurant that offers an Omakase experience with 2 chef choice menu. We went with the Toshi Course which includes two starters/appetizers, a sashimi dish, 11 nigiri, a hand roll or maki roll (your choice), small bowl of noodle, and dessert. The staff were very attentive and kind. They were always nearby and ready to take your dirty plates once you were done. The chef was extremely professional. I would definitely suggest sitting at the bar to get the full experience. The price was very reasonable. It was $95 per person. Other Omakase experiences can run you for hundreds of dollars. You definitely get quality food but perhaps not the greatest environment experience (i.e. there was a yellow dish bottle right in front of me lol). But it was good enough for me! read more

You don't want to miss out on a lovely omakase experience at Toshi Ryoriten! They use quality ingredients and fresh fish imported from Japan. We enjoyed the entire meal and the experience, watching the chef make each sushi was awesome (they're really focused on their skills).

It may be hard to Believe, but this was my first Omakase experience. Wow it was good. 1. Restaurant- It's a small place with only about 6 tables and the Sushi bar. Located in a small plaza in Richmond hill. You would drive past it if you are not careful. Not too flashy decor and very comfortable. 2- Food- There are two Omakase Menus to choose from Sushi Course and Toshi Course. I opted for the Toishi course which was the bigger of the two. There are also other stuff on the menu a la carte but this was the best way to try a good variety. The fish was very fresh and the quality was great! Apparently the Fish is imported from Japan(I don't know if that is true but the quality was defiantly better than other sushi places that I have been.) Much has alrady been said about the food here so i wont go in to details. Just that i ordered more sushi after because i wanted more of the Otoro and the Hamachi.. 3- Value- Ok so if you are a AYCE type or a Cheap sushi type ..this isn't for you. Remember that Overall Experience and Quality also factors into price. I mean if I wanted to stuff my face, I would have just ordered a plater of Sushi from one of the many take out places in the Markham/ Richmond Hill area and that would have been cheaper. For the Price ($90 p/p) Plus drinks and extras..it was a good Value and I was pretty full after (I'm a big eater). Summary.- Good Value for what you get, Good portions . Great Quality. Good experience. Recommended if you have a special night out or just want to have some good Quality food. read more

This spider roll is beyond disappointing, I would never come to this place again. The chicken terriyaki is $30 and it looks like it is from Chinese Takeout. Extremely overpriced and it doesnt even taste good. I tasted my friend's sushi moriase and it was absolutely disastrous, the fish was not fresh, the roll's seaweed was soggy, even the wasabi had no wasabi taste. Now back to the chicken teriyaki, the veggied were straight from packaged frozen veggies and just defrosted. This is absolutely unacceptable. Add on to this review This place is terrifying, we paid a total of $231 and the pictures attached were what we got yesterday. Quantity wise, it was nowhere near competitors. Quality wise is even a bigger gap, the spider roll($12) was dry and tasteless, the maki was soggy, the fish caused a stomach ache because my friends ate their sashimi/nigiri($58 each set, two sets total), the terriyaki chicken($30) looks like it is from a foodcourt. Tempura portion is half the size of downtown's restaurant at the same price.($38) The only thing decent was the miso soup which is included in the set. I will never visit this place again, do us a favour and close this place down, it is beyond shameful that these were made by Japanese chef. read more

I ordered takeout from Toshi Ryoriten for a couple of times and have been happy with my experience so far. Overall quality matches the price I'm paying - not high end, but not cheap eats either apparently. I do get very authentic Japanese food here. My experience limits to sushi and a few appetizers. Their packaging and presentation is not on the fancy side but tastes have been quite good. Usually I'd get a Sushi Omakase ($55) for dinner plus an appetizer to try out. Sushi Omakase contains 10 pieces of nigiri sushi plus 6 pieces of maki (usually negitoro, tuna with green onion...I love it!), and comes with a serving of miso soup. For appetizers I've tried Kaki Fry (deep fried oyster), Karaage (deep fried chicken) and Tuna Carpaccio, all taste decent. Tuna Carpaccio might be on the smaller portion side though. What pleases me the most is Kaki Fry, it has been so hard to find it in Japanese restaurants in Toronto and yet it's a dish so Japanese :) Sushi Course ($70) is another thing I'd like to highlight, it's of a great value to me. There's the additional warm appetizer and dessert on top of what you get for Sushi Omakase, also you get to choose between hand roll or maki whereas Sushi Omakase always gives you maki. These do make the meal experience feels more complete. Customer service experience was fantastic too. I was in a terrible starvation the first time trying this place out and I was ordering two servings of the Sushi Course for me and my fiancé. Usually the wait time is 45 min according to the chef but he ended up rushing it for us after hearing we were hungry, and the quality was good. So there came the next visit, and more visits after within the same month...the fact of frequent visits justifies the full five star, I'm sufficiently happy. read more
