My Neighbour and I teamed up together to enjoy a bottle of wine and tempera. I ordered a bento and it was enough to fill along with lots of flavor. My favorite part was we were not rushed to get out!!

Ikki Sushi is one of the most homey restaurant I been to! No snobby Japanese Sushi Chef or Cool Japanese waitresses in Kimonos... Just a Japanese family owned sushi joint.
Ikki has no swanky or chic decoration... It is kind of outdated and run downed and dare I say a little dumpy...
Father as the Sushi chef and Mother as the Kitchen Chef.. and their son... a cute little boy is the assistant waiter...
When that boy served my Lunch Special California and Spicy Tuna Roll ($7.95) to me and asked me to eat.. I could not stop smiling....
For the price, the sushi is not bad... I had better... and I had worse... but is the hospitality and that family vibe that made this lunch memorable. -

Eh. Small, not very nice looking. Sushi is.. Ok to not great. We waited forever to be served and get our food. I won't be coming back here again. The wait staff are very nice though, but I wasn't impressed with the food and wait time.

Unfortunate name. Servicable sushi. Good prices. Parking. Cooked foods better than sushi. Large portions.

Really awful sushi. It's just not very fresh and they use instant miso powder. The tempura also comes from a package and is the wrong shade entirely (a sickly white versus golden brown). The salmon tastes really old and they don't even have Ikura. Maybe if you never eat sushi, you might be fooled into thinking this is acceptable, but it would never fly in Tokyo, even in some little suburb like Taito or something. It seems like someone decided that there was more money to be made in sushi than in burgers-n-fries and went into cheap, short-order sushi. A real dissapointment but at least their name tells the truth.

I kinda want to give this place 4, and it might just get there with time! It's kind of humble. This place is our neighborhood sushi place, and we're happy to go back repeatedly. The service is inconsistent, but the people are very nice! Not professional - but very nice. The sushi isn't amazing, but it's fine. What I really love here so far is the udon - it's smallish, but surprisingly rich and delicious. It's the perfect dish for getting over a cold... or a hangover....!
It's pretty good value too. Fair prices. Not cheap, but... ok.
Just look out for the parking lot. And the weird sponged paint job in primary blue. Both are kinda bumpy and weird. -

I will start this review by saying that I don't eat sushi. I go end up at sushi restaurants from time to time because of people I am with and am glad they have other things on the menu as well. Ikki Sushi was no exception to this.
My friend ordered her sushi and I ordered beef teriyaki and steamed rice. It was not on the menu, but the waiter was good enough to put it together for me. Which brings me right to my next point, I was able to understand the waiter clearly and he was able to understand me which does not happen too often at a lot of the restaurants I visit. The beef came to the table really fast, followed by the sushi a few minutes later. Me being polite I did not start eating until her food arrived, but the very nice aroma of the beef had me salivating beyond control.
When I finally got to taste the food it was very good. One problem that I usually have with sushi places and meat is that they tend to over cook it. The outside piece I ate was nicely cooked. As I got closer to the center of the cutlet of beef it got down to medium rare which actually made me happy. At first I thought they were a little heavy on the sauce, but the amount of rice that I was given and the tastiness of the sauce itself made the amount of sauce very valid. I don't usually get much feedback about the taste of the food from my friend, but she seemed to enjoy the sushi. If she didn't like it I would have definitely heard, so it couldn't have been bad.
It was definitely not a high-class sushi restaurant, and the prices reflected that as well. It reminded me of many of the sushi restaurants I have been outside the city, but would not pass for acceptable in the core. For a quick bite out in the east end though, not bad. -

Originally planned to hit Zen on Eglington (supposedly Scarborough's premier sushi joint) but it was closed for lunch on Saturdays so found Ikki Sushi a few minutes away on Kingston Road. Only customer at 1 pm on a Saturday afternoon. Chef welcomed me from the top of a ladder. Not sure what he was doing - later heard a bird chirping so maybe he was trying to catch it or maybe it was in a cage in the kitchen. I shied away from ordering anything with feathers but did order the large sushi combo - took a picture with the Yelp app on my iPhone so hope it shows up somewhere here. Salad was fresh and dressing delicious if a little heavily applied. Miso soup was tasty and warming on a cold wet afternoon. For $15.95 the combo provided a hearty helping for a sushi-starved lad from the boonies. Fish was fresh and the pieces were much larger than I had experienced at other sushi places. Spicy tuna rolls were outstanding. I don't have experience with super high-end sushi but this was as good as I have tasted. Perhaps a little more crudely assembled than some I have had but that is hardly a complaint as it provided ample sushi satisfaction. Recommended if you find yourself looking for sushi on a Saturday in Scarborough or any other day for matter. Ikki Sushi... not so ikki in my book.
