Danforth roll is yummy!
Sheena says the advocado salad is fanastic & I had the seaweed which was good. We also had sashimi & sushi rolls and all was good and bill was reasonable and staff really were happy & nice. -

You wouldn't expect it given the location (my neighbourhood), but Happy Sushi is actually a pretty reasonable sushi/Japanese restaurant. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but its interior decoration is equal to any of the other standard-fare sushi places you can find in, say, the Annex.
Both my wife and I were quite happy with our food. My wife hasn't actually been to many Japanese restaurants, so I took some liberties and ordered us some appetizers: edamame and gyoza. Both were quite tasty. (As an aside, my wife is now a believer: we recently bought edamame and gyoza wrappers to make the dishes for ourselves!) I ordered chicken katsu udon, which was served in a way that seemed unusual to me, with the chicken katsu separate from the soup. Once I ate it this way, though, it's the only way I want to eat it - the chicken stays crunchy, since you put it into the soup only when you're going to eat it! My wife ordered the chicken don, which she enjoyed a lot. I also ordered a salmon roll because I wanted to sample their sushi (verdict: good times). (Aside: this is Entirely Too Much Food. We ate till we ouched, and had leftovers.)
The biggest downside to this place, from my point of view, is that all their sauces were much too sweet. The sauce they put on the chicken don, in particular, was more or less intolerable until you mixed it with the rice, and the sauce served with the katsu was equally sweet and gave the soup a strange taste. This might just be my taste, but I'll be trying to avoid the sauces in future.
In general, I was really happy with Happy Sushi, and I'll definitely be coming back.
(Something to note: Happy Sushi, unlike many of the other Japanese places in Toronto, doesn't also serve Korean food. (This is a funny thing to say! In Toronto, most Japanese restaurants are actually owned by Koreans, so as a rule you can usually go into a Japanese restaurant and order bulgogi or bibimbap alongside your Udon noodles and maki.) That being said, if you don't like sushi, there's plenty of non-rice, non-fish dishes offered, like teriyaki and tempura.) -

Joe D's review is considerably more exhaustive than mine will be... his ability to go into detail generally surpasses mine... as we both know. I went with the girlfriend last week, and it is both a) incredibly convenient (90 second walk) and b) she's teaching me to love sushi.
It was pretty dead, but they've recently either been changed owners or have simply rebranded. Either way, once Joe tried it, I felt confident that I wouldn't die from the food, so we took the epic 90 second walk.
Verdict: tasty, good sushi. Not amazing, but the Danforth Roll (crab/eel/shrimp) was pretty damn tasty... I get the sense that some more exploration of the menu would yield interesting results.
