I'm eating and moaning to the good taste and typing at the same time! Avocado rolls.....mmmmmm!!! Eating my last piece now...sniff, sniff! The friendliest sushi place I've ever been too and the sushi is the best I've eaten!
I cannot say enough good things about Lan Sushi and the owners who run it! -

watch niceness.
My only (very small) complaint is that the spicy mayo and tempura crumble gets stuck to the top of the take out container. You could eat it to stay or just put the bits back on the maki.
Everything else has been said below. -

I am going to have to agree with John M. and say there is not much in terms of seating at Lan Sushi. I thought the sushi was very fresh and the complementary hand-roll was AMAZING!
I would most likely come here again but maybe on a nice sunny day so I can eat curb-side if needed.Listed in: Sushi Me Baby!!

Great little take-out sushi place with a few small tables. The food was surprisingly great and fresh. Loved the miso soup and wakeme salad. Super fast and friendly service, and good value for the price.
You get some free hot tea and a cone-roll while you wait. Highly recommended! -

When we lived in Bloor West Village, you couldn't throw a cat without hitting an overpriced, underwhelming sushi joint. When we moved to the Junction, there wasn't any sushi at all! Wherever would us hipsters eat?
Then along comes Lan Sushi!
The food there is amazing, and very well priced. The people running the place are extremely friendly and know us by name already! They give my wife a free hand roll every time she goes in to pick up an order! I love these guys!
Sure there's no place to sit and eat in the restaurant itself, but who cares! Go home and eat it in front of your X-Box 360 during a spirited game of Modern Warfare 2. Am I right ladies? -

The one merit this place has is that it is the only sushi place in the junction.
Owners try really hard to please every new patron that walks through the door.
Prices are ok on the high side. Sashimi lunch is small in quantity and if you choose to get a can of Pop instead of the soup make sure you don't take an Ice Tea from the fridge. I was called on that by the lady at the cashier while I was eating my lunch, which made me feel quite bad, and charged me 25 cents...not a good sense of business etiquette from her if you ask me, since I also left a good tip..
I will probably won't be back. Nothing to write home about. Decent food, ok prices, won't wow your taste buds... -

Trekking to the junction to find the best super cheap sushi joint in the city, really? Well, certainly not a single reason to go to the junction, but if you happen to be in the neighbourhood and want to nibble on some fresh, well-priced rolls I highly suggest it.
It's a sparse, bright, single room suitable more for take-out rather than dining in with a self serve tea canister equipped with Dixie Cups.
I would give Lan sushi four stars, however the people who work/own the place are soooo friendly. They either genuinely love their customers or are just amazing actors (Hollywood worthy really).
+1 for a complimentary hand roll while you're waiting
-1 for the Cher and Cher covers... -

Lan Sushi was a wonderful surprise popping up in the Junction. The sushi is fresh, tasty, and delicious! The atmosphere is clean and simple, fun classical music remixes in the background.
The service is incredible - snappy, and very kind!
The prices are exceptionally reasonable, and it's definitely worth every cent. You can expect me back here! -

I love this place!
I have been four times now and it is fresh, consistent and reasonable. I usually get the Spicy maki-combo and a wakame salad. Plus, the owners are so very cheerful!
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I would like to sit in and eat, and save on so much packaging. -
Review from Danielle D.

Lan Sushi is the newest business on the street and unless you are a Junctionite, you have no idea how much this area needs a sushi joint!
Aaaaaaand, far so good. The restaurant itself is really just a walk up/take out place at the moment. They've painted the place up a bit and added some nice decorative touches which distinguish it from the two places it's been recently (Bronto Burger and Jocelyn's Place) but it still could use some improvements. There are a few chairs set up by the window and one high table (like a bar table) with 4 high stools. It feels a bit unfinished but maybe they're still in the process of determining their set up and staffing.
The maki options are standard, but not in a bad way. To start I had the lunch sashimi combo ($11) which came with salmon, octopus, tuna and tilapia. It came with miso and sushi rice and was relatively fine, the fish was fresh and tasty and the octopus was a pleasant surprise.
We also ordered Maki combo A ($11.50) which featured a tasty california roll, a HUGE dynamite roll and a spicy roll that made my mouth happy! I enjoy a sushi place that doesn't skimp on the spicy in their rolls. Also? No mayonnaise to be seen so far. (Mayonnaise is the sushi kiss of death in my opinion.)
The stars are missing because this is still a new place, the menu is far and away from fleshed out, the seating is strange and the rolls are simple. Give them a few months and I'll re-review, but as it's the only game in town, I'm sure I'll be mosying my way through the menu soon enough. -

WHERE IS THE FURNITURE?!?
That said, The Junction needed a Sushi place. And we got one in the site of the former Bronto-Burger. Good news!
The take-out sushi I had was pretty good, with fairly reasonable prices for the large and filling rolls I took home.
However, I didn't intend to get take out. This place oesn't really offer anywhere to sit! There is one table and a bar by the window.
I'm just happy to have a sushi place around the corner from my place.Listed in: The Junction!

The fish at Lan Sushi is still as fresh as ever. They still offer hand rolls while you're waiting for your order. They also read their reviews which I think is very awesome of them to do. And they now know me by name. :)

Really good, satisfying sushi, really low prices, *really* good service. It's great to finally have a quality sushi place in the junction.
Plus they always give me a free roll while I'm waiting for takeout. -

my greatest hope for the junction - SUSHI! i guess wishes really do come true.
first of all - the sushi. it's fresh and delicious and made with care. the prices are incredibly reasonable. i feel like the "made with care" aspect is of utmost importance because it equals consistency and quality. i love the spicy salmon roll that's topped with even more salmon, a bit of tempura and roe. the gyoza is pretty good too. i haven't been overly adventurous because the dishes i've had are too good not to order again.
second of all - the people! are so kind, and seem genuinely excited about what they're doing. the chef made us some sample hand rolls. and they were amazing. it was a salmon and mango cone that isn't on the menu - just something he was trying out. we ate it while waiting for our order and i dropped part of my mango on the ground (way to go klutz-o) and they quickly gave me another piece even though i insisted i didn't need one.
it's not an "eat-in experience" kind of place, although they do have some seating. it's better to get take-out and eat it at home in the comforts of your stretchy pants. but if you don't live close enough for take-out it's still worth checking out.
oh wow. i'm really excited about LAN sushi. -

Reallly good sushi. I had wanted a sushi place in the junction for a long time, and this one lives up to my expectations, I have eaten in sushi restaurants all over the city and this one is better than most. Super tasty food, great prices, amazing service. The day they opened I went in there and they knew my name by day two. The place has some basic places to sit and eat at the moment, including a bench to sit and wait for your food, and they always bring a sushi roll to their waiting take out customers. Highly recommend.

I've been there several times, very good, well priced for take out. They have a small space to eat in but not very fancy. Very friendly, nice people with very good sized sushi!
