I don't know how they are still in business with their prices! Two can eat like kings for $30! Always greeted by a welcoming smile, this family run Japanese place is not to be missed.

Great variety, keeping up with the nouveau sushi menus of interesting and varied maki rolls. The sashimi pieces are almost too big, but very fresh.
I addition to sushi they also have a small Udon soup menu, and provide some alternatives for those who don't care for raw fish (chicken katsu, beef teriyaki).
The decor is plain, Japanese style, no frills. Family run, and very friendly. -

Bestie and I have this ritual of sorts.
A few times a year he and I head to my mom's gr 3 class and teach an art lesson. After this we always head out for sushi and while we have our tried-and-true places, every now and then we like to try something new, which is what led us into Asa. We liked t so much we've been back several times since.
Asa is excellent from everything to the decor to the service to the menu. The presentation of the main dishes is so perfect that you almost don't want to dig in and ruin it. My personal favorites here and the salmon teriyaki and veggie tempura. The portions are mammoth, I can never finish it all in one sitting.
I brought Bestie here for his brthday dinner a few months back and when our server saw him opening presents she brought us some green tea ice cream with a candle in it!! So I started singing happy birthday to him and I thought the staff would join in and then I remembered the slght language barrier, so it was a solo preformance. Heeheee! The ice cream guesture was very thoughtful though, kudos to Asa!Listed in: 1 Review A Day For Every Day…, Bestie and Me

Sushi bars are a dime a dozen in Toronto but ASA is definitely one of my top choices. The staff is extremely friendly and will say hello to anyone that walks in... even if the chef is midway through slicing a maki roll!
The quality of the sushi and sashimi is excellent and there's a wide variety of rolls, nigiri, sashimi and combos to chose from.
As a bonus to all you veggies out there, they take great care not to contaminate vegetarian rolls with the pesky massago fish roe that stick to every surface known to man.
My only complaint is the dressing on the salad. It's a chunky citrus flavoured paste and I much prefer the creamy tangy dressing of other downtown locations.
All in all a great place for sushi on the west side. -

Great quality and very decent prices. We really like coming here. I recently tried a new place downtown and honestly was reminded why ASA is my favorite (that new place had the worst cut of tuna I ever had. At ASA I never have any complaints). Sometimes the small things they miss are: tempura a bit oilier, tea and/or soup not hot enough, and their wait staff is too distracted/hurried/not experienced (I honestly thin these girls are family - daughters or nieces - and they are definitely not in the waiting business lol). But in general - very friendly - and remember their regulars!

The reviews are pretty accurate, tried it for the first time a couple of days ago, super friendly family run business, with exceptional sushi, it will now be my regular local takeout sushi place :)

It's easy to miss this little Japanese restaurant off Bloor and Jane, and it certainly feels secluded. Even the inside, which is criss-crossed with screens, is snug without being cramped. The schlocky, non-Japanese muzak, however, gets a bit annoying after a while.
They've got a really good lunch special for about $6 (the usual choices of sushi, miso soup, etc.), and the traditional carrot dressing on the salads strikes me as particularly tasty here. -

I go here when I can't bother to go downtown or when my sushi craving won't hold through the traffic. I find the rice is mushy (for lack of a better word).
Service is always great. But I can't stand the decor. -

Adorable small restaurant at the corner of Jane and Bloor.
Easily accessible since it's across the street from Jane station.
Great friendly staff that never fail to have a smile on.
The prices is great and so is the food! I always order either the bento lunch boxes or their deep fried california rolls. -

Went for lunch. They're lunch specials are few and not the greatest. $6 for sushi, beef or udon combos, and $11 for bento boxes.
Good service, forgot about us a few times, but not bad.
When the menu says spicy, they really mean it. Be careful.
Ordered the spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls, the spicy tuna was too spicy to eat. Also got the Special Crunchy Roll and it was delicious! They do a really good job at the fancy sushi rolls. -

We have been going to ASA Sushi since we moved into the neighbourhood 2+ years ago, (almost once every two weeks like clockwork) and we've never had a bad experience.
The food is typical Sushi. Rolls, Sushi and Sashimi. Apps, Great Miso soup and salty Edemame.
The group that runs the place seem like a family, though I've asked, and they aren't all related. They're so friendly and attentive, and are always smiling and courteous.
We got delivery tonight (even though we live two blocks away) and it was the patriarch who did the delivery. What a great team. We will continue to go to ASA for as long as we live in the hood...
Food is top notch. Service is fast. My favourite is the crazy boy roll, the Jane/Bloor Roll, and the Unagi (BBQ Eel) Sushi. Jane subway is right across the street. -

I've been going here for a couple years now. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Everyone who works here is friendly. The soup and salad are yummy and I've not had a piece of sushi I didn't like. They also do take out and it's really fast. Mmmm.

Review from Brenn S.
Meh. Extraordarily average. I could mention the pros and cons but my ambivalence about this place prevents me from bothering. Did I mention they have "Robster Salad"? Lol.

Best sushi in the High Park / Bloor West vicinity. Miles ahead of nearby sushi in terms of price and quality. Great deals on the party trays.
