Review from Hazel P.

Sapporo recently completed a much needed renovation & now the place looks really nice. I often order lunch as a take out from this place during the work week & it's always delicious. I'm addicted to their Jay Roll which is asparagus, shrimp in the middle topped with rice, salmon & some kind of yellow sauce. Yum!

This is conveniently close to work and one of the better sushi places in the area. Their sashimi is fresh and served at the perfect temperature. Service is quick and friendly... they even have a little 'buzzer button' contraption at each table should you require immediate assistance.
They have a good lunch menu selection with all your typical favourites. The last time I ordered rolls there though (I think it was red dragon), they were so big that I found them almost to be 'two-biters' which isn't very graceful, if you know what I mean.
It's not the cheapest place around but we're talking about sushi here... you get what you pay for! -

This is a sushi restaurant that I wouldn't mind going once a while to satisfy my sushi craving since the location is convenient and pricing is pretty good.
The restaurant is quite small but as soon as you're greeted and seated by one of their friendly staff, you will be able to relax in one of their roomy booth seatings.
They waitress are quick with taking the menu and there's always a complimentary dish served as appetizer along with miso soup and seaweed; it's not a lot but it's 'complimentary'.
They have exceptional service but I can only give this place a 3 stars since the sushi and sashimi lacks freshness and not that great compared to other sushi restaurants I have been too that are just slightly pricier.
I'd recommend this sushi place if you are in the yonge-finch area. Again, the service is excellent and the food is reasonably priced. However, if you're looking for a more authentic sushi restaurant then you may be a little disappointed.
Cheers. -

The Toronto Lover system:
5 stars = Must visit!
4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.
3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.
2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.
1 star = Do not visit!
This is a good sushi place with a pleasant atmosphere and a lot of seating. They do a great job of filling take out orders, often serving a cup of hot tea as you wait for your package.
Sushi is reasonably priced, and usually fresh tasting. The service is consistent and attendant. Overall, you'll have a satisfying sushi experience and you won't pay too much if you order smartly.

Had a late night snack here tonight, decided to try it out.
Great place, friendly service, doesn't seem like too many people are working here but they are really nice and friendly.
Food was great, started off with the Sapporo Sashimi special. Then moved on to the Boston Roll and Dynamite Roll.
The sashimi was really fresh and thinly sliced, probably one of the better sashimi I've had in this region other than Taro Fish Market.
The Boston roll i really liked, there were two uni covered salmon pieces, 2 with fly fish eggs & salmon, and two with normal fish eggs & salmon.
It was deliciousness. The only thing is the miso soup was a bit salty for me and my guests.
Will definitely come back, great place and nice and cozy. -

I love this place. Usually pretty packed. Almost all of their special sushi rolls are amazing.
Service is okay, they have a cute little bell attached to each table so you don't have to wave down the waitress. -

I find Sapporo to be one of the better sushi places in the Yonge/Finch area, although if you judge a book by it's cover, then like me, you would never have stepped foot in the place until your picky eater friend told you that it was one of his favourite sushi places. What I think makes Sapporo good is that they slice up the fish properly - nice and thin - and with only a little bit of rice under it, not huge crunchy balls of rice like some places. The rice is also properly seasoned and very fresh and soft. The food is served with lots of sides: miso soup, salad, and a small noodle soup bowl. My favourite here is the chirashi, I think it's a great deal for $12.95 (dinner price, i think it's around $10 for lunch). Last time I went, a bunch of us split a sushi boat and all the rolls that it came with were delicious too.

Sushi was fresh, rice was moist and soft. Offers a wider selection of rolls, with a few that are deep fried. Service was good. Complimentary appetizers included fried salmon, which was different. Also enjoyed the complimentary green tea ice cream!
Would definitely come back. -
Review from Bijan V.

Came here on recommendation of the other reviews but I was tremendously disappointed in the sushi. They were quite busy and the service was excellent but the food was far from great!
We had tuna sashimi and it was a completely washed out colour (which usually isn't good for tuna) and as for the hand rolls, AVOID the Toronto Roll. They put a chunk of Philadelphia cream cheese (Full fat too, yes I know the taste!) in there and that's ALL you taste! We also had the Mountain (might be Volcano or other) and it was again tasteless.
The only part that was good about this restaurant was that we were surprised with soup, salad, and 2 side dishes and finally with ice cream. Usually in other "Japanese" (I can't really call this place Japanese since it's run by Koreans) places, you only get soup, salad and ice cream with bento boxes or special set dinners.
Either way I don't think I'll be back again. -

This is my go-to sushi spot in North York.
The sushi is great... better than the stuff you get at AYCE sushi, sushi time, cheaper sushi along bloor/bathurst, etc. The tempura is very good too.
The service is great.
The only time I had a problem was on mother's day when the place was super packed and it took us a while to get our food (but we knew that coming in.)
The place is usually busy so you may want to avoid the busier dinner hours. -

Generally good sushi and sushi roll selections. They also are pretty lenient about substitutions, and if you order a meal you often get side items (salad and soup) with it.
Just a note, do not get their hot pots, at $28.91 you get 2 udon noodles and scraps of meat, some processed meat (i think it was 2-3 fish ball type meat in slices), and 2 shrimps. It's suppose to serve 2, but it is still essentially a rip off, for the amount of food you get (mostly noodles). You are better off ordering noodles at Ajisen down the street (and I don't even like Ajisen). -
Review from Karl R.
I came her with a friend (new nickname alert: the CUTE! Chinese girl) and I'm still quite satisfied with the sushi but the CUTE! Chinese girl really didn't seem to like it. I only post this to echo Bijan's review. The sushi may not be to everyone's taste. But for my part, I find it very nice. Service is typically excellent. We had two people keeping tabs on our table. They have a modified Korean "ban chan" type serving that comes with your sushi platter. An unusual touch. We had a baked salmon with lemon and soy. It was quite delicious.

We are a regulars here, started eating here about 7-8 years ago when this place was a block south of here. I have eaten sushi in lots of other places in Toronto as it is our favorite food when we eat out, this place beats them all in terms of taste, freshness and the way its made. The decor is perfect for this type of place, its not the fancy Japanese fine dining but for a sushi bar its excellent. It has regular booths, a bar side seating and a 3 or 4 private booths. Very friendly greeting as you enter and a warm good bye as you leave. Prices are very reasonable, especially when you pay cash. Also no matter how big your order for take out, it takes them no more than 20 minutes to make, all i do i phone ahead as i leave my home, when i get there my order is ready, unlike this other sushi place in Windsor ON. where we were told that we need to order 2 hours in advance for pick up.
