So after reading all the great reviews for this place I decided to give it a try. It is conveniently across the street from where I live. My husband and I ordered Sushi #8 and the Sashimi Sakura. The Sushi #8 was good, we liked the variety of sushi we got, however the roll that was included was just okay. The Sashimi on the other hand was really good, a fresh selection of fish. We got approximately 17 pieces, however the girl on the phone said it usually comes with about 13 to 14 pieces. The Sashimi came with a bowl of rice as well and we received two miso soups, however we did not order the miso soups, not sure if each meal maybe came with one. Our bill came to about $45 which is pretty reasonable considering the amount of fish we received. Overall a really good sushi place, we will definitely be ordering from here again.
Note: The hours on yelp and on their website are not correct. They do not open until 5pm on Saturdays and they close from 3 - 5pm Tuesday to Friday for prep. I recommend calling ahead to see if they're open and to call in your order, ours took about 35 minutes to prepare. -

After going back and forth with my current female friend about dinner preferences, ("Pizza, Thai, Greek, Mexican?") I decided to do what I knew was a sure thing and hop on to Yelp to see if there were any nearby spots in between our respective spots in the city (I'm in LIttle Italy, she lives on Queens Quay), that we both had not been to but looked tasty enough to give a chance for a romantic evening.
Lucky for me, I managed to discover a gem: Sushi 930. Buoyed on by overwhelmingly positive reviews and being a bit of a Sushi aficionado myself (and a believer that the Japanese delicacy is kind of an aphrodesiac), we agreed to meet at their King & Strachan location.
When we stepped in we found to our shock that there were only two(!) tables in the entire place, which means they're more of a take-out joint. Fine with us though. It could be worse and the food could be great...which it was.
We ordered Dragon, California, and Dynamite rolls along with some Miso soup and Edamame. There is a certain taste and texture to Sushi that is made with care and love, and in my opinion, the chefs at Sushi 930 have huge hearts: The fish was melt-in-your-mouth buttery and Maki sizes were large without being difficult to eat or dip in Soya. Even the Edamame came out at a perfect temperature and generously seasoned.
Both of us agreed that we would go back to Sushi 930, next time for take-out. -

Fresh fish, good prices, good value (good portion size).
If they only delivered I would be eating this every week. Unfortunately they are a bit far from me to be my staple sushi take-out place, but I highly recommend this to anyone that lives close or has a car. -
Review from Zack S.

I rarely eat sushi [I'm a steak and potatoes man]. But let me tell you when I go for sushi, it's got to be fresh. It's got to be good. Before tonight, I was in Hawaii, and you are up against real fresh fish on that island!
Sushi 930 is fantastic. The people there make you feel like you are in Japan, and you have to order to go. It's a take out place [tiny store front] and they are chatty in there. You can tell they do this, for the love of the food. And it shows.
I got the Sushi # 8 [highly recommend it]. The 8 pieces of sushi they give you change daily, as it is based on the fresh fish they recieve that day.
I got White Tuna Sashimi [To F*$!#ing die for]. Oh the texture of the tuna. I just want it again. NOW.
And I got a california roll, just cuz. Top Notch.
And they have the ginger that is so juicy, and thinly sliced, and just. Oh Damn.
Now for my wrap up.
Amazing Food. Check
Amazing Sushi. Check
Amazing chefs. Check
Decent Prices. Check
You'll Love it. Check
I recommend getting the Fresh Fish, or pieces with fish form this place, as that is what they are all about. The Sushi. The Fresh. The Fish.
Enjoy your take out friends. Let me know how much you loved it too. -

Today, Zack was all, "WE GOTTA GO TO THIS PLACE." Our plan was to walk from work, which to me was INSANE because it was the first disgusting winter day of the season, and the restaurant is located west of Bathurst (Sushi 930, get it? 930 King). "WE'RE FOOLS," I thought. "I can go across the street for sushi," I thought. Well, I'm a pantywaist.
As soon as I saw the glistening trays of fresh sushi, I knew we were in for something above par. My vegetarian maki set (yam roll, cucumber roll, veg dragon roll) was expertly prepared and paired with REAL pickled ginger. Although delicious, I gazed upon Zack's Sushi #8 with jealousy and fishlust, for it seemed to me to be the freshest looking fish I've seen in this city aside from my LEGENDARY meal at Hiro. Sampling his california roll and white tuna instantly brought me back to that summer I lodged in a pineapple under the sea.
So yes, it was worth the bitter winter winds. The prices are a little higher than average (does vegetarian maki have to cost $15?!), and there are only 2 tables, but pick it up and devour in the comfort of your own home. 2nd best sushi I've had in Toronto, for sures. -

Good quality sushi at fantastic prices. I'd rather head straight to this place than any of the eat and dash sushi joints on bloor although the location is slightly out of the way for me.
The fish is reasonably fresh here, and you get a good variety/amount in some of the combo sushi/sashimi plates. This more of a take-out place-only two tables and sushi is their specialty althought there are a few cooked items on their menu. I had the sashimi plate-good cuts of fish, about 20 pieces for 17.95. Also tried the dragon roll-very tasty and tightly rolled. I would stick with the sashmi or maki as a personal preference because the sushi rice can be a little mushy sometimes.
Owner of the place was very friendly and chatty delving into everything about the sushi business during my visit. :) Nice to find a casual yet good quality sushi place in Toronto.Listed in: Sushi in hogtown

When it comes to eating raw fish, I definitely want the freshest cut on my sushi plate.
This little resto may appear to be nothing spectactular from the outside. I was sort of deterred from going thanks to its nearby location to the "lovely" Palace Arms Motel, err, I mean hotel. But don't let appearances fool you! (Okay, me). At least three people, who have no connection or relation to each other, have recommended this place to me. In fact, their responses were delivered with wide eyes and large grins, accentuating on how "goooood" the place was. One night, feeling pekish and lazy to make dinner, I sauntered over to check it out. Now, if you ask me about this place, I will also have the same big eyes and large grin: Sushi 930 is "goooood".
The fish is definitely fresh, and decently priced. I'm very particular when it comes to sashimi (I've had decent to awful) and here, it's definitely fresh. I've also heard that the chef can accommodate a dish for you if there's something in particular you like. I haven't tried doing this yet as I'm on a mission to try all of the items on the menu first.
You can eat-in but it's a very small restaurant, primarily a "pick-up dinner after a long day at work" kind of a place. But it's definitely a neighbourhood favourite.Listed in: My locals, Cheap Eats

FYI, I'm going to write this one while the food is still sitting in my belleh.
The Sushi here is pretty good. I would say above average in fish quality, but you are going to pay for it. At if you want to eat at the restaurant you best hope its not raining, since this place is mainly a take-out venue.
The good food...
Salmon Sashimi (fresh, thick pieces)
Tuna (Red not purple, fresh)
Unagi (not as crispy/sweet as I prefer, but good)
The great food...
Yellow Tail (this kicked serious ass. Worth holding you down and beating the snot out of you if you happen have some on you while venturing into a seedy back alley. Not sure why you'd eat your sushi in such a dangerous place but hey, if that's your thing it's your thing.)
The bad...
The miso soup was probably the worst I've had. Bland and tofu-less. In fact I didn't finish it (and I'm the type of guy will choke down almost any food I've bought rather than let it go to waste. I just couldn't be bothered this time.)

This is by far the best sushi I've had in Toronto. It's delicious and the fish is very fresh. Even though it's only take-out, I definitely recommend making the trip over.

I'm pretty sure this is as good as it gets in Toronto. A few years ago I ate sushi on Bloor Street. Maybe it was at New Generation, or at Sushi on Bloor, or whatever. All I remember is lots and lots of sticky rice clogging up my throat and feeling suffocated and punished for choosing sushi. Now I have never been to Japan and I hear that the sushi there is out of this world and I'm sure it is. I think the sushi at 930 is close, as close as it gets. Just go in there, ask them to make you up something of their choice, and trust them, trust me, you won't regret it. It will be expensive, but it will be worth every penny, and you won't eat sushi anywhere else ever again, except maybe japan. Take out only. They owners are sweet as pie.

So I'm a descendant from Japan and I don't eat fish. Yeah, it's weird but hey, I grew up eating mac n' cheese with hotdog weiners. I do, however, know when I'm eating some authentic japanese food. I tried this place out because I've heard good things about it.
I ordered the vegetarian maki. The guy who took my $16 (it's pretty steep for vegetarian but after devouring it, I won't complain too much) asked if I ate fish and after i replied with a "negative". He said "me too" and I asked "oh rearry?" and he said "nah, just kidding" haha! you so funny man!
There was a special on the board for a shitake & avocado roll that wasn't on the menu so it's probably a good idea to ask if there are any deals for that day.
My meal came with a somewhat bland miso soup. It wasn't the worst miso soup I've had. Just a simple version. The vegetarian maki contained a "dragon roll" (avocado neatly wrapped on the outside - it looked pretty), a couple of cucumber rolls with shiso leaves and a yam roll (which isn't covered in batter so if you want grease, you're not getting it with this order). Normally, vegetarians get the shaft when it comes to vegetable rolls. We get stuck with cucumber and avocado and if we're lucky, shiitake. Sure, this combo had cucumber and avocado but it was done with flavour! yes, not just plain rice rolled around a piece of cucumber! The shiso leave added a nice touch and the rice was not gooey and bland.
This place reminded me of Sushi Marche that's in the east end on Queen. I'm sure the fish sushi here is excellent, judging by just eating cucumber, yam and avocado!
