Review from Cliff L.

My co-worker and I discovered this place about a month ago, and now we go there at least once every week for lunch.
There are at least 10 sushi bar around Yonge & Eglinton and this is the best. The fish at Lola are fresh and the service is top notch.
Their lunch manual is great, and I love their bento set. Because other sushi bar usually have lame maki rolls like cucumber or avocado rolls as fillers in their bento sets. But not at Lola, everything that comes with the bento is great.
Their super-bento on the lunch manual is definitely my favorite. It has 4 maki rolls (not cucumber or avocado), 8 piece of sashimi, 5 piece of sushi, some shrimp and potato tempura, and a little side dish and a blow of rice. It also comes with miso soup and salad. And all that is just for $12.95
If you work on Yonge & Eglinton, you have to try this place out. It's on Yonge and it's about 5 minute (walking) down south of Eglinton -

This is a great little sushi spot, smack between Davisville and Eglinton. I really like the bento boxes here. There is a wide selection of them and they are very reasonably priced (mostly under $10). I recommend the Lola Bento with sashimi, personally. When you get tempura in your bento here, you get a lot of it, at least 6 or 7 big pieces.
It does look a bit like a hole in the wall from outside but is a very cute little spot once you get inside. They even have little little privacy barriers between the tables. And, the staff are very nice. -

I held of for a few days...deciding whether of not to join the throngs of people praising this restaurant for its great food and superb service.... But... in the end I couldn't hold back, Lola Sushi should not be selfishly kept a secret from Torontonians deserving of a mind-blowing food experience. Readers should know that this Kor-apanese hybrid restaurant serves up some tasty meals, at even tastier prices!
I had the Bulgogi bento (8 bucks) and my food partner in crime had Salmon Maki (4 bucks) and Tuna Maki ( 4 bucks).
Stepping into Lola's makes you feel quite warm and cozified. It's a small little restaurant about 5 mins walk south of Eglington station. I live downtown, and I think Lola's is worth going uptown for. Rice paper screens partition the restaurant into enclosed cubicles, making dinner a pleasant intimate occasion for couples or a small group.
The service was friendly, and the food arrived promptly.
When my dish came to the table, at first I felt my heart sink a little because the portions were a bit on the smaller side. In comparison to the gargantuan bentos you get at Sushi on Bloor, the serving size of the bento's at Lola are much smaller. But Lola's gets a big gold star in my book for full on flavor. Overall the bulgogi was succulent, well spiced, and cooked with a nice assortment of veggies (not too many veggies though, bulgogi is a meat dish after all). The bento box included cold noodles, premium Japanese rice, a fresh salad with a really good dressing, miso soup and an orange. I give my meal 5 stars.
I was so engrossed in my meal, and I don't eat much raw fish, so I cant directly comment on the sushi platter my husband ordered, however he said that the fish was very fresh, the rolls were plump, the fish looked great, and smelt fresh.
Lola is lovely. Check her out! -

I found my favourite place for noodles :P
According to the waitress, the noodles are ordered directly from Japan.

One of my favourite low-key sushi spots. Not only for the sushi but also for some of the Korean dishes that can be found on the menu.
I'm there at least twice a month for the seafood soon tofu chigae which is piping hot (spicy and temperature) and absolutely delicious. Come summertime, I'm usually ordering up the Hwaedupbap (sashimi with rice, vegetables, and a Korean chili sauce).
The spicy rolls are great (and come out in huge portions) and the sushi pizza is probably one of the best I've ever had in Toronto. The pizza base of rice is always fresh fried and crispy and the raw salmon and avocado piled on top is tasty.
It's easy to blink and miss this restaurant but go looking for it and you won't be disappointed! -

This is my go-to sushi place at Yonge and Eglinton. I have tried many sushi places in the area and this is my favourite for both food and service. The head waitress (and possibly owner as well) is always there and she's always cheerful. I like that they can also deliver within the area, although most of the time I go to pickup my order. They'll even serve you tea if your order is not yet ready. Their spicy salmon rolls are great!

Very good sushi, extremely generous portions (both fish cuts and tempura servings), and incredibly reasonable prices make this place an excellent Young and Eg sushi find. Our server was incredibly friendly in a grandmotherly kind of way...another plus.
The space is super narrow, but little shoji screens between tables and dark wall coverings make it feel more intimate than cramped.
It's not the best sushi in the city, but it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood and have a hankering for some sushi. -

Me and my colleagues LOVE this place and get food from there often. Everything is fresh, delicious and generous. Must try if you like sushi. Only thing is, the service can sometimes be slow and the seating is cramped, so we prefer to order in advance and pick it up.
While initially I loved the fact that they sprinkle a generous portion of tempura with fish bits on their spicy rolls, I now think it is a little heavy for lunch (too much fried stuff), so I ask them to leave out the tempura when I order. Either way it is delicious! -

When i lived in this area i only ate at one sushi place, Lola Sushi. A lot of these other sushi places are the same in the way they prepare and create the sushi but Lola does it with a twist. For instance, my favourite roll, Spicy Tuna, has more spicy tuna and tempura bits all over the top. All other rolls have a similar type of twist which is why i love this place so much. If it doesn't have a small twist they quality and taste alone will make you salivate. They make everything unique and exciting for the customer and their service, top notch. One time i ordered take out and they forgot my drinks so they called and apologized and came back to drop them off but with a bowl of ice cream, now that how you make a customer come back. i have referred a few friends who live in the area to this place because you will not find any better sushi around. Even their dinners such as Chicken, Steak, Salmon Teriyaki, and/or Galbi are really good and the portion they give you is big enough for two meals. Unfortunately i moved to the Danforth and i seriously can't find a contender to Lola...i will have to go back soon and say Hi to the friendly staff who know me by my first name HAHA. i highly highly highly recommend this place to anyone.

Love it! Best Sushi in Toronto hands down! I send all my friends there and eat there on a weekly basis, I also order take out every other week, and the Spicy Tuna is the best but they have an exciting menu with loads of interesting stuff! Yes Yes!!!

A solid sushi restaurant with amazingly friendly service. An added bonus is that Lola consistently passes it's health inspection, unlike some other sushi joints in the area.

Great vegetable spring rolls. They're small (6 per order) so get a few orders. Friendly staff.

good enough but not great.. friendly, yes, but i can't say it was the best sushi, although, i am from Vancouver so i guess i can say I'm a little harder to satisfy in fresh fish department?
