This restaurant is very uncomfortable (seated against wood planks). As usual they are very busy with take out orders. But the service is very professional. Their chicken katsu was very tender and moist, very good, with 2 big pieces of chicken. The bibimbap was ok. The gyosas were good. read more

This is our go to sushi spot on the Danforth. The boats are huge - a boat for 3 can easily feed a fourth! The price is also super reasonable. The place is a bit small but cozy. read more

We ordered takeout and was very happy with the portion sizes, the sashimi was plump and fresh and the service was quick! The baked cod was a TINY portion drenched in sauce so I would pass on that next time. read more

Good food and some unique items Service can be slow here and a bit disorganized Might be better to take out?? As many take out orders when I was there (that further slowed down the dining in service) read more

Ok sushi stop if you're in the area. A bit pricey for the quality, but it's still pretty good. I got the sashimi starter. All of the sashimi was plump and pretty fresh, though the tuna was a bit "vein-y" for me. Also got the una don, which had generous amount of unagi bathed in that sweet sauce, though would have liked the unagi a bit less "well done" in it's cook. Came out to $40, which wasn't highway robbery but expected more at that price. Service was helpful and efficient, and the people were really nice. Wish them all the best! read more

THE BEST SUSHI I HAVE EVER HAD. Pls try this you won't regret it. P.S. Go for lunch to get the best deal with the lunch special

We got tempura veg and shrimp, as well as an avocado salad for delivery via DoorDash. I knew the order was outside my door as soon as I smelled deep fryer oil. There was only one piece of paper under each tempura serving, which was not enough to soak up the copious amounts of grease. I did that myself with four pieces of large paper towel and still I had to take the tempura off so that I could eat the food. The tentsuyu (tempura sauce) for this kind of tempura should consist of three parts dashi, one part mirin, and one part soy. Instead, it was heavy on the soy and contained sugar (though no mirin, which would have been passable). A really cheapening of important ingredients here. The avocado salad was fine. It had 2 shreds of beet, 2 shreds of purple cabbage, two leaves of spring mix, and the rest was iceberg, as well as about a third of an avocado. The dressing didn't have a strong flavour profile besides sugar. so it wasn't my style. I found the food average at best and too greasy and too sugary and lacking authenticity at worst. I won't order from here again. read more

Hit all my sushi cravings in one go! I had pre-ordered for pick-up at 4:15pm and when I arrived at around 4:20pm, the order was ready. This was already a good start. Upon opening the the bag when we got home, we noticed they had also included a free slice of cheesecake! =) We ordered the medium sashimi platter, along with a caterpillar roll and tiger roll. Everything seemed fresh and solved all my sushi and sashimi cravings for a while. One thing we noticed off the bat was the thickness of the sashimi pieces. A lot of places skimp out on sashimi but the pieces we got were definitely on the thicker side (koodos to Yanagi). Would recommend this place to anyone who is around the area and wants their sushi and sashimi fix! read more

We decided to try this restaurant after we read some good reviews online. We were seated at 7:00. The wait staff did not come back to take our order for 15 minutes. Then, it was another 10 min to get our drink order. Finally, 45 minutes after we were seated, our sushi arrived--two green dragon rolls. Once the food arrived, it was good, but the service was painfully slow. Won't be going back. read more

The whole platter was great! Very fresh and great selection of sashimi, sushi, and maki rolls. The only thing I would prefer was if the pieces of sashimi was a bit more thin. I'm just not used to thick sashimi slices. read more

Yanagi Sushi - Platter for 2! - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ordered 3 bento boxes (salmon, veg, and bulgogi) as well as a couple of rolls (torched salmon, avo/yam). Everything was absolutely delicious and tasty. The bento boxes tasted fresh and had a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavours. Definitely is a go-to spot for us now. read more

3.5 stars This review is for take out sushi. We walked in and opted for take out because the place was packed. The restaurant is bigger than I thought with about 10 tables and bar seating. We ordered the Danforth boat for 2. In total, the cost was $48 including tax and tip. We waited about 20 minutes for our food. The meal came with two miso soups and salad. The sashimi was very good quality. Not frozen. Fresh. I liked the seared tuna pieces. The dragon roll was crispy and big. I didn't like the rice because it was a bit hard. Overall, this is a good quality sashimi place. The price itself is more expensive than sushi bay (on coxwell and O'conner), which is what I am comparing this place to because they are close by. I get more from sushi bay in terms of what I pay, but this place's quality beats it. read more

Had takeout here twice because it's close by work. I picked up from this place so I can't comment on their atmosphere or service PRICE: Fair. The lunch menu was pretty good. Under $20/person for sushi lunch. Lunch menu is from 11:30 -3. QUALITY: Reasonable and reliable for the price you pay. I just hope I could give it a 3.5 star because it's not exactly a restaurant that wow me. It's just a sushi restaurant, nothing particularly special. Probably not a place I would go for a special date. read more

Yanagi Sushi - Shota lunch with chirashi, salmon terriyaki (slightly over cooked) and 3 piece of sumai (was so so) - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Wow! This is a gem in Danforth! The Danforth Boat that we ordered contains 10pcs sushi, 15pcs sashimi and a large dragon roll. It's 42 bucks with miso soup and salad for two people. Very reasonable price. More importantly, sashimi are thick and fresh. The only thing that is not quite right is the sushi rice, but I'm not going to blame them for that. As for $21 per person, the quality of their fish is far beyond my expectations! If you love sushi, you have to check this out. read more

Yanagi is my favourite Sushi place in Toronto. Especially for the sushi rolls. Definitely the best in the area!

The food there is always consistent and good. It is one of my regular sushi places to go to. They may not have the premium fish but they don't disappoint. We ordered from them today on Valentine's Day and they put a little rose in the box! Such a little detail is touching! read more

Yanagi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We were one of their last customers, as we walked in at 915pm, and they close at 10 on a Tuesday. Very nice ambience and friendly, but slow, service. We waited over 35 min for our food - and the restaurant was serving its last customers. Assume it would be a much longer wait if we came at peak dinner time. Ordered the Danforth boat for two - and it had a nice assortment of fresh sashimi, nigiri and the Golden Dragon sushi roll. Salmon was especially yummy - tuna and unagi (eel) was so-so. Didn't like the miso (too salty), and salad was quite sour. They did offer yummy craft beers from Japan (Hitachino Nest). Quite pricey at $10/330ml bottle, but worth a try as I'm not sure where else you could buy it. Prices are reasonable for food. Would consider coming back again if I'm in the area and craving Japanese food! read more

3.5 / 5 Pro: Ordered the Danforth boat for 2 people and it was the perfect amount. The salmon is so fresh and fatty, as well as the other cut of fish on the boat. The dynamite roll was small but it was nice and warm with plenty of fish roe on top! They also gave us free dessert in the name of love! For vday which I thought was very nice. It came with chocolate wafers, ores, red bean ice cream, and green tea mochi. Just a crap load of randoms but it was nice cause it was freeeeee Con: We waited 50min for our boat. The food is very good but I can see why they have so much takeout rather than dining in. The customer service is very slow. There were maybe 4 small tables of couples for valentine's including ours with two waitress and two sushi chefs. The Miso soup is very salty and the salad was acidic. My bf asked for more tea and they filled up his cup, looked at my half empty cup and walked away. I thought that was interesting... Overall: would I return? Maybe just for takeout. read more

Was in the area house-sitting and had a wicked craving for some sushi so I decided to check this place out after walking by it one day. Place was a cozy place with an average Japanese restaurant look. One of my go-to rolls is the Black Dragon Roll so I decided to order just that. Had deep-fried shrimp and cucumber, wrapped with barbequed eel, spicy mayo, and tobiko. Was actually quite good so it definitely hit the spot. There was something lacking a bit though and I can't quite put my tongue on it. However, I'd be willing to try other rolls if ever I go back. 4/5. Japchae - Love Japchae so I got a bit excited as soon as I saw it on the menu. Was however quite disappointing. Had very little garnishing and was also quite bland. Thought it was a waste of money. 2/5. read more

So thrilled to have such a quality sushi restaurant in our hood! Great fresh sushi (thin rice layer!) great variety, oh so yummy, decent prices. Kid-friendly, excellent service, with a sweet toothpick-poked orange at the end to say thank you for coming. This is now our go-to, hands down! Do yourself a favor, and stop by. And say hello to Stella and Daniel for me :) read more

This place has been open 4 months and we tried it out after seeing the pics and reviews on Yelp. The fish was well portioned, very fresh and had a few twists. The staff were very friendly and on a Monday we were surprised to see 2 families with young kids come in. I always love seeing kids excited about eating sushi! 10% off on Mondays & Tuesday's with Yelp check-in. Really great addition to the neighbourhood that has been lacking a good sushi place too long! read more

Service is Excellent, servers and chefs were very friendly and welcoming. We tried sashimi, sushi, maki, karaag, caramri, tempura udon for dinner. Loved them all especially my children really loved them. You can definitely taste the high quality and effort they put into their menu items. read more

You definitely get what you paid for. We ordered the Danforth boat and the Rainbow roll. It came with two miso soups and salads. We upgraded the sushi roll in the Danforth boat to Black Dragon roll and we just paid the difference of $1. All the rolls were tightly wrapped and all the sashimi were very fresh. We were glad the sushis were not mostly filled with rice. read more

Service was prompt and professional. Solid place for sushi and some nice non-sushi surprises on the menu, like the the mushroom butteryaki.

The sashimi is where it's at here. It's fresh, and it just melts in your mouth. I got a boat for 3 to share with one other friend and it was way more than enough. The prices here are definitely worth it for the quality you get here. read more

This review is based on my one take-out sushi experience. Surprisingly very good sushi and reasonable price. I had sushi lunch $12+tax. Comes with 10 nigiri, salad, and miso soup. I'd say the quality of sushi is pretty good for the price. I am always concerned about the quality of rice when I order sushi because many sushi restaurants use old hard rice that clearly had been sitting in the rice cooker for a couple of days. The rice I got with sushi today was just right. Soft and vinegary. No complaints. 120% satisfied. read more

My wife and i live nearby and had been waiting for a legit sushi restaurant to open in our neighbourhood. Most sushi places that are not true sushi bars are good for some rolls and tempura. This is NOT the case with Yanagi. Excellent sushi/sashimi but we are also a big fan of the maki. The layer of rice on the maki is not too thick so there is a good ratio of roll filling to the rice. Hamachi is delicious. Try the lobster and spicy salmon roll. Thank you Yanagi for coming to the area I hope they get the patronage that they deserve. read more

Really good sushi place, everything is always nice, fresh and made with high quality ingredients. Have never ate in the restaurant, always get take out but the place is very nicely set up inside with a decent amount of tables and very clean. Would have received 5 stars if they were more punctual on pick up times. Even if we are told it'll be ready in 30 mins from when you call it's always 45 mins to an hour. read more

Yanagi Sushi - Very fresh. Not too expensive. Ordered the Danforth boat (came w 2 salads and soups). Will definitely be going back. - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fresh sashimi, good variety and excellent presentation. Sometimes gets very busy in the early evening.

Stumbled into this place after seeing good reviews. It was a very quiet lunch coming here 1 hour after it was open. Me and the gf split a lunch special as well as one of their special maki rolls. Sushi was excellent, and so was the variety of the lunch special. Service was great. Would recommend. read more

Surprisingly reasonable quality sushi from this Korean-run restaurant. Sashimi was fresh, especially the tuna. Variety of filling lunch combos under $20: had the dynamite & spider roll combo and combo B (sashimi / nigiri / noodle / Cal roll / rice). Every table full at 2pm on a Monday, which says a lot. Rolls were okay, but I recommend the sashimi, which was pretty decent. Definitely worth coming back for a second try. read more

It's hard to find a good sushi spot in the neighborhood so was excited when I heard about this place. Hands down best sushi in this part of town. Fish was fresh, nice presentation, and great variety of menu options. We had the small sashimi platter, sushi platter with aburi, spicy scallop roll, negi toro roll, salmon teriyaki, grilled salmon collar, and chicken oyako don. Everything was very good. The only thing we didn't like was the oyako don...it had broth -which was odd. Place is family friendly...we had two toddlers with us and they gave them complimentary amuse bouche somen noodles (they loved them!). Good metered street parking outside the restaurant. Will now be my go to neighborhood sushi spot. read more

The food here is fresh but this place pisses me off all the time in take out service . They tell when to come then you end up standing around for 35 minutes watching them frantically packing food or answering phones without even checking up front With customers picking up. It's like watching a game of Overcooked. I get that it's busy but I don't appreciate being made to wait next to other people in the same situation during a pandemic. And my food is cold. read more

Went here for lunch with my husband and it's a fantastic addition to the area (the old place wasn't bad too). I had their bento with beef teriyaki and sashimi which was one of their lunch specials and it was really great! The sashimi was a good thickness (not too thin, but just thin enough to enjoy), and the beef teriyaki was cooked medium and was a steak vs. the really thinly sliced meat that other places had. Service was great, though it was fairly empty that day. One thing that would help a bit with the place is the signage and the frontage. We walked by there while LOOKING for it because it looked so dark and there was no signage for people walking by. Either a sandwich board or some signage at eye level would probably help! I took off a star due to price point, but I would definitely return since I live in the area. There are better priced places north of here but if you're in the area, definitely a nice regular place to go for quality food. read more
