This is one of 5 locations they have in the downtown food courts. Take out sushi, maki and donburi. Food (4/5) - overall the quality is slightly higher than normal food court sushi places. they also have some selection you wouldn't see at other places. The turnover is pretty good so everything is fresh. - Torched Salmon Oshi - not bad... not Miku-level of course but good for a food court. - Spicy Blue Fin Tuna Maki - also not bad and good spice level. Lower end blue fin if it is. - Daifuku Bean Cake - can't go wrong with these staples and it was nice and soft. Service (4.25/5) - I will call them out for being super fast and friendly. Very efficient and the lines move quickly. Atmosphere (4/5) - overall a nice clean look and presentation with proper refrigeration and cleanliness. Overall (4/5) - it is a reliable and fast take-out option if you are feeling like Japanese. Bit on the pricey side as most of the underground food courts now are. read more

Not a bad sushi place considering it's in the mall's food court! Upon arrival to Toronto, we checked into our hotel and were told our hotel is connected to an underground mall. There were many options but we wanted to eat something light ish so we settled on this sushi place, and also because they were very busy so we wanted to see if they were good. We were a little confused upon entertaining because we saw 2 seats by the "bar" so we thought we can order and dine there. But turns out, this sushi spot doesn't do table service. You can either grab and go their premade sushi boxes or order at the register. We ordered a sushi combo, a green dragon roll and a roasted garlic ramen. Food came out pretty quickly. The ramen was pretty good but I didn't think have a lot of garlic flavor. I really enjoyed the green dragon roll though. My hubby said the sushi was fresh and he would definitely order it again. read more

Zen Kyoto - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Zen Kyoto was a shop I ran into while in the financial district of Toronto! I have a sincere appreciation for sushi restaurants that make their sushi fresh and provide excellent service. The staff were really kind, and the prices are also very affordable! This is a great place to stop by to grab a lunch to take back to the office. When it comes to the sushi, it is melt in your mouth good. Its just fresh and you know its not anything frozen. I tried the Torched Salmon Lover which was absolutely delicious and came with a fresh jalepeno slice ontop as well! Will definitely be a place I come back for to get some delicious sushi. 9.5/10 recommend! read more

Zen Kyoto - Torched Salmon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Zen Kyoto is located in the PATH in the concourse level of First Canadian Place. The eatery is take out only where they are open from Mon to Fri, catering to the many people who work in the Financial District. There are grab and go options available or you can pre-order your sushi through their website or Ritual. The place does get busy at lunchtime but the staff are efficient, as they understand people are looking for a good grab and go option for lunch. I believe they also have a discount sale at the end of the day as well. I pre-ordered a 10 piece omakase box ($37) recently on their website for pickup. The online ordering is easy to manage and once I got to Zen Kyoto, my order was ready for pick up. I noticed that many people also pre-ordered items as well for a quick pick up. Staff were friendly during my pick up/ In terms of the 10 piece omakase, the box came with a fresh selection of pieces, including a 6 piece negi toro maki roll. In terms of the nigiri pieces, I got a salmon, ikura, uni, toro, scallop, foie gras, eel, sweet shrimp, hamachi, and I believe a flounder piece. All the pieces of dish and seafood were delicious and fresh! Definitely worth the price considering you get many of the premium sushi pieces for only $37. Overall, efficient service, delicious food, and friendly staff. Would definitely return to grab more sushi items! read more

This maybe my new favorite takeout for sushi sashimi. Everything just melted in my mouth. Bluefin, salmon belly, scallop and a whitefish(did not know the name) were heaven. All for 25$ i think!. read more

Zen Kyoto - Sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A gem for quick sushi in the Financial District. Zen Kyoto is mainly a take-out spot, but there are a handful of counter seats if you'd like to eat in. Service is brisk and friendly, packaging is tidy, and--most importantly--the fish is very fresh for the price. What we had * Sushi & Sashimi Combo (~$20): Generous variety with thick, clean-tasting cuts--salmon, tuna, yellowtail, octopus, and seared squid--with a touch of ikura on top. The rice is lightly seasoned and not packed too tight, so each bite stays fluffy. Great balance of fish-to-rice and zero fishy smell. * Roast Garlic Shoyu Ramen (~$16): A comforting soy-based broth with roasted-garlic depth, springy noodles, a nicely torched slice of chashu, and a jammy marinated egg. Not overly salty; perfect for a quick lunch warm-up. Value Two dishes came to about $43 all-in (tax + a small tip)--in downtown Toronto, that's outstanding. For freshness and portion size at this price, it's an easy 5/5. Ideal for a fast lunch or affordable sushi fix; I'll be back. 金融區內一間高性價比的壽司小店。Zen Kyoto 以外賣為主，但店內設有幾個吧檯位可以堂食。出餐俐落、員工友善，包裝整齊，而最重要的是--以這個價錢來說，魚生非常新鮮。 點了什麼 * 壽司刺身拼盤（約 $20）： 種類充足，切件厚實、味道乾淨清爽，有三文魚、吞拿、油甘魚、八爪魚、輕燒魷魚，再配少量三文魚籽。醋飯調味剛好、粒粒分明不會捏得過實，魚飯比例理想，完全沒有腥味。 * 蒜香醬油拉麵（約 $16）： 醬油湯底帶烘焙蒜香，麵條有彈性，叉燒微焦香，糖心蛋綿滑入味，不會過鹹，天氣微涼時來一碗剛剛好。 性價比 兩款食品連稅加少量小費合共約 $43，以多倫多市中心而言相當超值。以新鮮度、份量與價錢來看，毫不猶豫給 5 星。想快捷吃個午餐或來一份親民價的壽司，這裡值得一試。 read more

Zen Kyoto makes a great option when you're looking for some takeout sushi. Located in the PATH on the concourse level of First Canadian Place (by King and Bay), they are Monday to Friday, from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm. They have a selection of pre-packaged sushi, salads, and small sides at the counter for quick grab-and-go purchases, or you can opt to order something from their menu. Aside from great sushi combos, and maki rolls, the restaurant also offers a variety of rice bowls, and udon noodles. It's noted that there's usually a line of office workers during lunch hours, so it's recommended to place your order online in advance or pick up, or visit outside of their peak period if you're short on time. The sushi here isn't considered the best in town, but the quality is good enough for the price you pay. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Torch Combo ($18 - 12 pieces), which also comes with a miso soup. I've ordered this a few times before, but unfortunately the fish didn't taste as fresh as all the other times I've ordered the Torch Combo. However, since this was the first time out of a few where I was a little disappointed with the quality, I will not deduct any stars from my rating. read more

Zen Kyoto - Torch Combo $18 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Friend recommended this place for their sashimi. It's in the PATH at First Canadian place, and not in the food court. Instead, it's in the bottom floor. I spent 10 minutes looking for it, hopefully you will have better luck. This is a takeout restaurant, with a small table near the entrance that will most likely be occupied. But you can just head to the food court upstairs or around the corner or anywhere in the PATH basically. While this restaurant serves ramen, I've heard that their specialty is sushi and sashimi, so it may be better to just avoid the other items that are there to cater to those that might not eat raw fish. There are many pre-boxed items available for quick takeout, but if you ask for a sashimi box for example, it will be prepared on the spot for you. You can probably even see the chef slicing the ingredients behind the counter. You can get a 55-piece sashimi box for $70, which seems like a pretty good deal. I don't really know most of the fish I'm eating so you can take a look at the picture for reference. Everything was delicious though. Texture and flavour was certainly much better than the stuff I'm used to. It is an omakase set though, so your mileage may vary. read more

Zen Kyoto - a sushi platter with various types of sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a nice takeout sushi option if you're downtown in the PATH. I like the many different options available for sushi, torched sushi and nigiri. They also have ramen options. Takeout was fast and easy. The rice was a little too hard for my liking maybe because the rice is refrigerated over night. But the fish sashimi, nigiri and the torch nigiri fish all tasted fresh and delicious. Great option for quick lunch in the area read more

I returned to Zen Kyoto for lunch recently. As per usual, the place was bustling, but the service was pretty quick. I chose another prepackaged lunch, this time a combination of torched sushi, salmon sashimi, and grilled fish. Everything tasted good. The grilled fish wasn't overcooked. Above all, everything tasted fresh. read more

Located in the path at first Canadian place, Zen Kyoto offers sushi, sashimi, and a variety of bowls and boxes. I ordered the chirashi bowl for lunch through ritual during their food fest promo. The chirashi bowl was pretty good. Fish was fresh and offered a good variety with salmon, tuna, tamago, tobiko, and amaebi. The rice could have been a bit fluffier and felt like there could be more to balance out the amount of raw fish given. Overall really good for sushi in the path (which is usually quite disappointing). Would order again! read more

Zen Kyoto - Chirashi bowl with miso soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My friend and I grabbed some Omakase from Zen Kyoto. It was a bit hard to find since it was inside a building, and not in the main food court section. It did take a bit for us to wait for the food to finish but we did order right when they open so it probably took a bit more time to prepare. We got the large omakase set, which came with 13 pieces as well as the smaller omakase set, which came with 10 pieces. Both sets also came with a six piece roll as well as a soup. For the price of the sushi box, I felt like it was a great deal. After finishing both boxes between two people, we were absolutely stuffed and very very full. As for the sushi pieces, they were all very fresh and I loved each piece that the chef prepared. There were some that I liked more than others just due to the preference I had for the piece of fish, but overall it was prepared very nicely and it came in a box! I highly recommend trying this place, especially if you're thinking of grabbing a box for a picnic ! read more

Located at FCP and only opens M-F for lunch/noon. Mainly a grab n go spot but had some bar seating and one table. Wanted to try their omakase box but opted for the chirashi don ($18) because it "looked" like more food to me. They also have the deluxe chirashi for $26 but not sure what the difference is (the staff never gave me an answer but she checked with the chef since I asked if there uni for the deluxe etc. & they were nice to accommodate ). read more

Zen Kyoto - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a bustling take-out sushi place with some pre-made rolls, nigiri, and bento, as well as another menu for items like ramen and rice bowls. The quality is surprising for a take-out joint and while the price points seem a bit higher as a result, the quality increase makes it worth it. Service is efficient, but still nice. I like the clean bright lighting of the space. If you work in the area, there are ordering apps that may give occasional discounts to your order (starts with R and ends with L). read more

I've tried their takeout twice. The food is average in general, with good sushi/raw food and mediocre hot food. The first time I tried to order directly from their official website and my tip is do not order from there, order from uber eats or ritual instead. They didn't set up the website properly and it went through fantuan delivery which deducted my money at first but I never received confirmation email. When I tried to pick up the order, it was a missed order because of the system setup and the staff at the restaurant clearly had no idea that they set up through fantuan by accident. They made up the order on spot. Two days later, I noticed the money got refunded to my credit card. I tried very hard to call in the store to pay them again but they couldn't take it because there was no record in their system and they were too busy to care about it. I tried their dynamite roll and sweet shrimp sashimi the first time. Quality was alright with small portion. Tried their spicy shio ramen recently. It was horrible. The ramen tasted like instant noodle quality and the soup was quite watery. I would just stick to their sushi/rolls next time I order. read more

I like to try new sushi spots all the time and was intrigued by zen Kyoto as they have so many good reviews. I have to say it was only ok. I found it very oily leaving a film of oil in the takeout container after which made my stomach feel queasy. I usually love torched sushi and the Smokey flavour. So I ordered torch combo. The taste would've been good but I was just very turned off from eating due to the oil. I was constantly wiping my mouth with a tissue. Maybe other dishes will be better. read more

Solid place for sushi takeaway in the PATH. I typically rotate between this and J San for higher quality sushi takeout and both are good, although I've tried more optiofrom Zen Kyoto. I've ordered from here quite a few times, with my first order being the omakase box. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality to price ratio as well as the variety in their offerings at this price point (like foie gras), although there were some duplicates. It was 13 piece for $45. The 35 piece sashimi party tray for $45 was a great deal too and the fish quality is great. Great for sharing. Their chirashi bowls are good and affordable for the quality of their fish. Review is for takeout only, but I'd love to come and try other options. I've heard the actual storefront is small and mainly for takeout. read more

Ordered their ramen takeout via Ritual. It wasn't ready by the time I got there and when it was ready, I went to find a seat at a close by food court. The ramen and toppings looked like it was cooked wayyyy before I got there so everything was hard. I poured the "hot" soup into the ramen but it didnt loose up. The ramen was soggy and the pork was dry. Quite disappointed. I think Sushi Q's takeout ramen is better because they make it infront of you. read more

Ordered this as an afternoon snack with some coworkers as it's located very conveniently in First Canadian Place. As part of a ritual promotion, it actually came out to free for a 6 piece roll box. Tried the Salmon/Avocado, spicy salmon and Tuna rolls. It was pretty ok. There's not much you can expect from a food court-esque sushi spot and this place is right on average. read more

Updated Review. Zen Kyoto is one of Toronto's best kept secret in terms of Sushi and Sashimi. They have the freshest Sushi and Sashimi in downtown Toronto. Even Miku, Minami and many other Sushi establishments can't compete in terms of price and taste. I have added photos of my most recent visits with friends. Large, medium and single Sashimi boxes, omakase boxes. Will definitely return. read more

Ordered delivery, large maki/sushi/sashimi. Best I've had in the city. Creative - not your typical fare (clams, urchin). The one downside is we have a son who won't eat salmon or mayo and I can't make that request anywhere when ordering (happy to pay more). So loses a star for that. Otherwise exceptional. read more

The best quick sushi option in the downtown core! You have the option of ordering for pickup on Ritual, which is what I did. They have a big shelf to the right of the entrance where they put all the orders so it's easy to pickup. My order wasn't ready when I got there and an employee that was bussing out helped me check on mine. I was asked many times what my name and order was and they tried to help me as quick as possible. My coworkers also came along for sushi and grabbed their boxes while they were there. There's a ton of selection in a refrigerated case right before checkout. They're very quick at the register so they actually finished their transactions before me! My salmon lover box was excellent. Fish was tender and soft, while the rice was perfectly seasoned. The soy sauce that they give you is a bit more sweet than salty, which worked really well with their rice. All the orders over $20 (before tax) get a free miso soup. It was the perfect amount for lunch, although not the cheapest. The box itself is all environmentally friendly packaging that can either be recycled or biodegrades. It also looks really classy giving it just something more. read more

Surprisingly good sushi for a PATH spot! The line moved quickly and the sushi was pretty good. The miso soup was odd; one serving had carrots and potatoes and one had literally nothing at all. I'd still go back, would just skip the soup next time. read more

Photos on menu looked good and went with the sushi combo for $20. Photo includes 2 pieces scallops and 2 pieces Tuna. But they were instead replaced with 1 squid, 1 unagi, 1 duck and 1 white fish. These are completely different price point except maybe for the duck. I was also not being informed of these replacements. Taste was ok. A little cold for torched sushi though. read more
