    Brother of my fave restaurant, same name but diff location. This one is in Richmond Hill, I was excited to try this place out because I absolutely love the downtown location one near Rogers Centre( or Skydome too :p) it's so healthy, fresh and monster size. It's made right in front of you, you can see the good quality ingredients. The Richmond Hill location lived to the expectation of its sister. The portions were fresh and large, I didn't dine in, got take out. The roll size is quarter sized of my palm. Absolutely huge for sushi size and almost embarrassing to eat in front of a date haha, open wide literally LOL my only complain would be, sushi taste soooooo good, size is too much, you almost get full in seconds :( lol

    The bill was a bit below 50$, we ordered 1 ginger ale, 1 coca cola, 1 set of lobster roll, 1 spider roll, 1 spicy scallop roll and 1 dynamite. The plating, even for take take out was so pretty, I call it sushi art.

    Great place, fast service, delish food! If your in the area, yonge and Elgin mills, check it out.

    Average for me. Sushi was definitely fresh but I don't like the over sized rolls at all. Don't get me wrong, I love big portions :) , but the large rolls fall apart and become too chewy. Sashimi was also thick if you like that. Service was on the slow side but polite. Went mid-day and the place was full.

    I definitely wouldn't not go there. It's just that there are better places in Toronto/Richmond Hill.

    It's one of the better sushi places in Richmond Hill for sure and the atmosphere and the quality are authentic and consistent.

    The food is OK. Not fantastic that I have to go there on a daily basis.  

    I usually end up getting the Yam Roll, Vegetable Tempura and California rolls. Sometimes the Vegetable Udon Soup (which is impressive to see them bring out)

    In a pinch it is a good place to go but not fantastic.

    I also enjoy the orange dessert that comes at the end of each meal. It is a nice touch.

    I tried more than 100 Japanese restaurant for sushi. They made the best sushi I never had.
    This restaurant is special for sushi.

    They were used to be my fav sushi place but after the owner/manager changed in 2011 I found that quality & taste is no longer is the same. Still one of the better sushi restaurant in the neighbourhood.

    I visited this place base on recommendations.  It isn't as close as "Gal Sushi" (downstairs of my building) but it's worth the drive.  Call me lazy :)  I'm kind of close to Elgin Mills and Yonge St. but I would come again and again.

    My girlfriend and I visited on Family Day...Yes, they're open on Holidays.  Don't think Asians care for Holidays...a plus!

    As told from our waitress, they've got a new menu.  We were impress with the choices.  Great lunch menu alone that had its own menu.  They have sushi, maki, sashimi, rice, and udon bento combo.  Also, a menu with dinner specials, a la cartes, and couple combos.

    We decided to stay away from their specials cause we wanted to try something unique.  We ordered Oyster soup, Unagi (Eel) Roll, Yam Tempura Roll,  and 14 assorted Sashimi.  They threw in 3 pieces of California and spicy rolls.  We loved the oyster soup, very flavourful and filled with good portion seafood.  Spicy roll and unagi roll was delicious, tightly rolled to perfection.  Sashimi was fresh and cut perfectly.  

    Service and decor was cute.  Private areas with Japanese separators.  They've got a great selection of food, which is always good!

    This review is based on my lunch experience at MI-NE Japanese Restaurant. I would say it is the best Sushi in the Richmond Hill area at this price point!

    Sushi Combo L1 ($10.95)
    - comes with standard miso soup and salad
    - 7 pieces of Nigri Sushi (shrimp, and 5 pieces of Maki
    - Fish is so fresh! The shari rice is nicely cooked fluffy and have great bite
    - good portionally balanced between fish and the amount of rice
    - Maki nicely rolled... fat and big... and with black sesame on the California roll

    The meal ended with a half sliced orange... healthy dessert for a great sushi lunch!

    There are 3 sushi chefs working at the sushi bar. They were all well dressed with their white shirts and ties underneath their sushi uniform! You can see how much they respect their work!!

    Waitstaffs here are nice and friendly.

    The deco is traditionally Japanese with smaller private room. The place is small can sit probably 30 people!

    I can't wait to try some of the cooked dishes at Mi-NE! And Lunch Specials here ROCKS!!

    They accepts Amex, Mastercard and Visa!

    The fish is really fresh and tasty.  Many unique rolls to choose from.  Tempura Lobster tails could be a bit more flavorful and that is the only reason my rating is not a 5.

    Though slightly more expensive than the typical sushi places that seem to be popping up all over the GTA, Mi-NE is worth the splurge for the freshness of the ingredients and generosity with ingredients.

    I had lunch there. My companion and I had the spicy tuna/sushi combo along with the sashimi lunch set. The miso soup tasted substantially better than what I usually get. It was smoother and though I'm not a miso expert, I dare say it wasn't made from an instant powder. The spicy rolls came packed with fish and tiny tempura bits. Being a spicy maki  connoisseur I'm often disappointed with rolls that skimp on fish and load up the rice.

    The white and red tuna from the sashimi set came slightly seared which was a nice surprise. The raw fish was very fresh.

    It was a standout lunch. Will have to try dinner some time.

    Delicious! The rolls, the noodles, the salad, the soup !
    The atmosphere isn't the coolest, and the service sometimes is slow but it's the best sushi on the planet.
    Start with mushroom soup, and house salad.
    Then go for the Kamikaze roll!
    Don't forget the green tea

    However, I would have to say that MI NE AURORA is the superior location.

    I used to really love this place and frequented it often but I have recently grown disenchanted.  While the food is fresh and good, I am consistently disappointed by the service.  Perhaps it is a cultural divide but I find the servers to be unfriendly if not out right rude.

    We wanted some sushi in Toronto so after reading the rave reviews here on Yelp, we decided to check out what Mi-NE was all about. We come in on a Friday night and it was packed. I suppose that's a good sign... probably had to wait 15 min or so, not too bad. Once we sat down, we ordered the age dashi tofu for appetizer. When the appetizer came, the dried shaved bonito on top was still moving! (Or the heat or a/c was blowing hard in here). Anyways, I can tell you that this was one of the better age dashi tofu I've ever had and I've had some pretty crappy ones. For sushi, we ordered a whole boatload of raw fish, quite literally! I forgot how many pieces we had ordered but it was more than enough. I was quite full at the end. The sushi was really good here too. Fish seems fresh. Pieces nicely cut. The makis tasted good. Mmm nom nom nom! We had ordered so many pieces that I'm not even going to try to break down what we ordered individually mainly because 1.) I had forgotten what we had ordered and 2.) there's just too much to list; I'd still be here tomorrow writing this if I were to list everything out. All you need to know is this place does live up to its rave reviews and awards it had gotten and for sushi, it is reasonably priced as well.

    Sidenote: we did take much longer than expected to get here though, because we took the "scenic route." By the time we got here, everybody in the car was ready to gnaw each other's limbs off and more. Luckily, it wasn't too long of a wait inside. I guess that's what we get for being tourists hah. On the other hand though, I did get to see a lot more of Toronto than I would have ever imagined. Now I know that there is a "Korea Town" there--or at least a Korean section of Yonge Street.

    This is my go-to japanese restaurant. Absolutely delicious! Their rolls are the best and my favourite is the Orangeville roll. The sushi is gigantic and is well worth it for the price you are paying. I gave this 4 stars because the cooked for isnt as good as other places but i usually go for the sushi.

    Mi-Ne is an average sushi place. We went there for dinner at least 5-6 times and if nothing else they are consistent in regards to quality and service. I must say I had better sushi elsewhere. Soya sauce served in bottles is watered down ... I don't know why they do that? We had to order soya sauce in small bags ... pretty weird for sushi restaurant. Considering the quality of Mi-Ne's food, this joint could be much less expensive.

    One of the best affordable Japanese restaurants in GTA. Its not AYCE but its not as expensive as highend places like Nami in Toronto and yet satisfaction will be guaranteed. Properly prepared sushi and higher quality than most restaurants I go to.

    My all time fav Japanese restaurant. Everything is fresh, high quality and delicious. That fact that its always busy demonstrates their commitment to quality. Remember to make reservations as the wait could get quite long given the size of the restaurant.

    I have been a fan of this place for so many years - the quality of the food is *incredible*.  Everything is always so fresh, and great care is taken by the chefs in ensuring perfection for their customers.  I haven't gone here in about a year, so i'm not sure if the owner(s) are the same, but in my experience, the staff is super friendly and they are efficient too!  I never had to wait long for my food to be ready.  The restaurant itself is always clean and the decor is tasteful.  For all you Torontonians, this is worth the trip uptown to Richmond Hill!
