My favourite, although I will have to consider my lunch time options now that their lunch specials have gone up by a dollar, and their competition has not upped their prices.
But I just love it here. Complimentary soup and ice cream, the best salad dressing in the world, big portions, and cheap prices. Also, they take reservations, so it makes it a good party place for me.1 Previous Review: Show all »

This place gets crazy packed and sometimes there's even a line up. I don't think it is because of the quality of their sushi, it is more because of their prices.
$3.75 for a spicy salmon maki roll? It's rare to find prices like this! As an avid spicy salmon sushi lover, it isn't the best by any means - just mediocre. When I ordered this, it came with the seaweed wrapped on the outside of the rice and a piece of salmon with a dab of spicy mayo. What can you expect from the price, right?
I'll keep coming back here just because I'm always in the area and if I'm feeling for cheap sushi and to get my money's worth, this place doesn't disappoint. -

I don't give out single stars lightly (note that before this, only 2% of my 469 reviews have been a single star), but I'd give Sushi on Bloor zero stars for their customer service if I could.
I've ordered from them on several occasions -- not because their food is particularly good, but because of their close proximity to where I go to school at U of T. And I've forgiven the random spotty service because, hey, with a place like SoB my expectations are pretty low. However, tonight was the last straw.
My colleague and I placed an order that was delivered over an hour and a half late, because the person answering the phone had written down the wrong phone number and couldn't contact us when they arrived. Not only was the snafu their mistake, but they also wouldn't offer even a small discount for the cold and congealed tempura and teriyaki they wanted us to take. No thanks. Bad customer service, rude and arrogant receptionist, and not even worth the fair-to-middling quality food they pump out.
Sorry, Sushi on Bloor. Never again. -

Whenever I'm in the area, and are looking to get my sushi fix (but don't want to pay outrageous AYCE prices) I opt for Sushi On Bloor. I agree with past reviews, people don't come here for quality, but rather quantity.
I usually come for the lunch specials on Saturdays. I believe it's the same lunch menu during the week but I wouldn't be able to tell you for sure. My boyfriend and I usually share 3 lunch combos and always leave with a take-out container, thinking "why did we order so much food?"
With prices like that you have to.
There was one time we came at around 1:00PM for lunch on a Saturday and the place had a 20 minute waitlist. Arrive early! -

Confession:
Literlllay I mean LIteraly I haven't eaten here in years. Used to go all the time. Gave this spot the Lllamia one time after I had a maki roll that looked like it had been rolled by a child. Not like a child who was some sort of sushi apprentice child, no, but a random child who had come in with his caretaker and had expressed an interest in running the kitchen forever and had been given this job. The rice was floppy, the nori was floppy, the fish was crispy. This isn't even a good place to get "gross" sushi. Check out Mazzy Mazz at Bloor and Ossington if you want good "gross" sushi OR go to NewGen which everybody knows is better.
Now in the interest of epistemological probity, I should admit that it's possible that Newgen is the loser, and that this place is the winner...BUT I just can't believe that. I would rather believe that actually some people just taste wrong. Or don't taste at all. That's what I would rather believe. LITurally. -

This is the only sushi restaurant I ever actually want to go to.
I never jumped on the sushi bandwagon and although I do like it, I'm not in love with it and think it's ridiculously over-rated.
That being said, all one needs to do is walk past Sushi on Bloor and see that it is *always* packed to know that it's gotta have something going for it. Well, it does.
It's cheap. 3 course meal for around $10 cheap.
And, again for the NON-sushi-snob, it's delicious. I have never ever left not feeling like a fat cow, but that's a good thing (more or less).
I usually get a bento box but for years used to get one of the numerous veggie meals-all good.
Other than lunch, your meal also comes with ice cream at the end (I was very disappointed to learn it's not included at lunch time ....sigh..).
I will admit that I've never experienced stellar customer service from any of the waiters and have instead been faced with a bit of attitude when one friend of mine insisted on getting a fork rather than chop sticks...
but it doesn't matter.
I think most of downtown Toronto has been to this place but if you haven't, go right now. -

Maybe I came on a bad day, maybe I ordered the wrong things, but Sushi On Bloor, with all its rave reviews, didnt impress me.
The complimentary miso soup was great but the cones I ordered were barely full, almost no fish and the same amount of rice, my first bite was nothing but nori.
I also ordered a few rolls, I even asked which rolls were the most popular and ended up with salmon pizza roll and the university roll.
The salmon pizza roll was good but the university roll was small and again, had little content.
I am willing to give this place another try but the portions this time were puny and the taste wasent so amazing as to justify such meager portions. -

Basically, if you've ever walked through the Annex at dinner time, you've probably seen a line up outside of this place. Why? Because it's cheap. Really cheap. And the portions are big.
The quality of the food is good, but not amazing. I've had better tasting sushi elsewhere, but I've also paid twice as much (if not more) for it.
Regardless, the food here is tasty. I'm a fan of all of the rolls (especially dynamite roll and mango roll), and the chicken katsu u-don (fried chicken with thick noodle soup) is really good too. The seafood salad is also a hidden gem. So is the salmon pizza and grilled squid. The more I think about it, there are a lot of great items here, but I'll stop there.
These guys do takeout too, so if you're craving cheap sushi but don't feel like waiting for a table, you may want to consider that option too. -

If I was on student loans, then this place would be a God sent. It is definitely one of the better OMG-it's-so-cheap sushi restaurants in Toronto. I have tried some of their chicken and beef dishes and there are decent too, a bit too salty for the beef. However I have noticed that budget sushi places use some really cheap quality chicken and beef for their dishes so I like to watch out for that.
The place is big with the student crowd, however all of my B.C. friends think that SoB is nothing more than "Meh" at best. I have to agree.
The biggest draw is not their great quality in sushi or amazingly slow service (they have gotten a few dishes wrong and their English is subpar) but their price/quality ratio.
Oh, and they always pass their DineSafe inspections with flying colours is always good on my book.Listed in: My Reviews

Review from Kiwi M.

This place is for people who give up quality for price & quantity.
You can't argue the value they propose, price is cheap and the portions are huge. Their rolls tend to be bigger than average and cheaper. Tempura is great, teriyaki is okay, everything else is okay, everything cooked is okay. nothing impressive.
However, fish is very low quality, I would not get sashimi from here.
And they have this bleach smell, i think it's from the mop they use to clean the floors. They could've used something with better scent?
Yet still, it's quick, fast, cheap, if you just want to get rolls without paying too much, this is the place.
Just stay way from raw stuff. -

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!
I should mention that my reviews for Sushi On Bloor and New Generation Sushi are identical, as, after many visits to each, I find they are beans from the same edamame pod.
There's much to say about Sushi. It's raw fish on rice, and it must be prepared by hand and with care. That helps justify the expense, even though it's customary in our society to equate "value" with "man, I'm full."
Which is why places like Sushi On Bloor and New Generation Sushi continue to be overflowing success stories. They provide the same ample feeling you might expect for $15 at any bistro, pub, or family restaurant, but, under the cover of "sushi" the average consumer feels that they had a healthy meal, or that they've experienced something avant garde.
The sushi at this restaurant barely has any taste, except for a hint of the saran wrap it sits in before a chef slaps it on some rice, and/or in a box, and on your table. Let's be frank: most Bloor Street consumers drench the rice in soy sauce and wasabe paste anyway.
The fish here is barely distinguishable. They make some extremely tasty special rolls ($10) but these tend to use cream cheese, avocado, tempura, or other filler that, again, makes the fish indistinguishable.
So it's hard to rate this place other than to say: expect a wait, you won't pay too much if you order smartly, and you'll probably get tea at the beginning and ice cream at the end.

It is a gem in the area. Nowhere can you find a decent Japanese restaurant that is not all you can eat type but you pay less to fill you up. It has been there for a long time and always line up. There are 2 floors. The service is fast. You will be served with Miso soup, salad and at the end ice cream of your choice all included in your meal no matter what you order. We have 5 people with rainbow, dragon roll, sashimi and sushi platter, seafood udon, tempura and seafood salad. The sashimi can be described as double the size of a regular Japanese restaurant. Fish is fresh and cool just right. It has a large portion and a relatively cheap price. For the same order, expect to pay at least 50% more elsewhere.
Highly recommended for the food quality and price. It is a bit congested. But you have to know that the restaurant has to be profitable to serve you in the coming years. -

Good and popular sushi for Toronto! Great price!
We shared the SUSHI AND SASHIMI and it was quite fresh. The salmon was thick and juicy. The kappa rolls were big! We also shared the RAINBOW ROLL, which was traditional and big. For appies, we shared the PAN FRIED GYOZAS and the IKAYAKI. I was pleasantly surprised with the grilled squid because it was fresh and the sauce was this soy ginger sauce which was nice and light.
They give you complimentary MISO SOUP and ICE CREAM at the end. The service was fast and attentive. Overall, good vibes! -

This place is great. Service is fast (once seated), pricing is just right, and the sashimi slices are bigger than most restaurants - plus deeelicious!
I just moved to TO a few months ago but have gone 3 times already. Like what most reviews have said, it's busy - I've gone on fridays and a wednesday and they were packed on both evenings. Its worth the wait tho! -

My quest for good sushi is still on. i was brought here by some locals so of course I had to take the opportunity to taste what all the buzz was about.
Hmmmm....me thinks Toronto has very few options. One of the things I miss about Van is it's OK sushi is phenomenal here. I tried so much stuff I do not even know where to begin.
The infamous California roll made famous by Tojo's in Van is a shadow of itself here. Ever had a crunchy California roll? I swear it was a cucumber not an avocado and definitely not fresh crab. The chicken teriyaki was overcooked. I had to tear off the hard pieces from my mouth quite a few times. The tempura and iceberg lettuce salad with the universal Japanese vinaigrette was exactly as it should be.
I did have a wonderful dish that makes me want to eat it again. The salmon pizza. Wow! It melted in my mouth like butter. The crunch of the patty base of deep fried rice with a layer of mayo was a wonderful texture against the salmon. I am so hungry now.
Other points in it's favour was the cleanliness of the place. Love it!
The friendly personality of the owner makes for a warm space despite its modern design. -

Do this. Do this now. Stop reading. Go.
Delicious delicious heaps of sushi for cheap. I'm a fan of fasting all day and hitting up the veggie bento box. Related note, there are a surprisingly large range of options for the veggers out there. Sushi restaurant anxiety quelled.
Also, not sure if they still do this, but be sure to ask for the complementary ice cream at the end. May be cheap, but sushi on bloor always hits the spot. -

Sushi on Bloor is always packed. Whenever I walk there, I always see the other sushi places maybe half filled while Sushi on Bloor has a lineup.
There's definitely a reason behind the lineup. The restaurant has a wide variety of sushi offerings for an extremely good price. Being located in the Annex with loads of students, it's no surprise why its packed.
With this place, you're essentially getting what you're paying for. The fish is mediocre. Fish in Toronto is certainly not the freshest (Vancouverites living in Toronto - we don't live near an ocean and we don't fish from L.Ont., get over it) but it still decent. The fish at Sushi on Bloor is nowhere near the best sushi I've had. The maki rice/fish proportion is way off and I once ate a piece of sashimi that I'm sure was just defrosted an hr ago.
Again, you get what you're paying for and when I have a massive sushi craving, this place satisfies it.
On the plus side - you get a scoop of ice cream. Win! -

Price has gone up since my original review used to be $5.75 on their special by $1, still a good deal and they end their specials at 3 PM. Try the Salmon Sushi PIzza, very interesting and good.

Just came back from din-din at Sushi on Bloor. Have been living in the area my whole life, and have never eaten there.
The place is crazy busy. We were seated right by the front door, which got annoying while the hoards of patrons were dashing in and out. It was also quite chilly this evening, so I couldn't imagine how it would be in the dead of winter. We got a table no problem (2 of us) but I over-heard the hostess telling other people 20 minutes for a table.
I got the Bento Deluxe (I think?) with Salmon Teryaki. I asked for my Salmon Roll to be substituted for California roll, but that couldn't be done. Whatever... The salmon was good. The salad was okay too. It came with tons of tempura as well.
I forget what my BF got... Sushi Bronze plate or something like that. It wasn't that great. He said he wouldn't order that again.
Their miso soup (served right when you sit down) was decent. But their roll's sucked. I didn't like them. The rice was tasteless and the seaweed paper was dry and brittle. The portions were quite big, and the price is right. I would probably come back here again. Maybe try a couple other places on Bloor street to compare?
Also- what's this I hear about free ice cream? I didn't get any...Listed in: Bento Box Bonanza!, Bloor Street West

I'm sure that most of the reviews say the same thing as what I'm about to say here, but here goes. Sushi on Bloor is the place to go if you're craving sushi and basic Japanese fare at a totally reasonable price. You're not going to get fancy rolls that will blow you away with it's presentation, or service that makes you want to tip that little extra. But rather, you will get consistently fresh sushi, fast service, a guaranteed line up to get in and most importantly cheap prices.
We love coming here because sushi is my comfort food and I don't feel like dishing out $100 on a weeknight dinner. If you haven't been, go and stuff yourself and I'm sure you will have a great time. Try getting a seat downstairs as I find it's more lively and enjoyable. -

Not sure why I haven't written a review of this before now...
A friend of mine brought me here at the beginning of January and I have been back about 4 times with other groups of friends.
I am personally not a big fan of sushi - I have an issue with the texture.
BUT - I am definitely a fan of their Bento Boxes. As with everything else on the menu, the price is right. Their Bento Boxes are one satisfying meal for 8, 9, or 11 dollars.
As others have said - this place is always busy!!
If you have any warning that you will be dining here, call and make a reservation. I have had no trouble getting a table if I have a reservation. Without one you would probably wait an hour or so for a table - so just plan ahead!
p.s. in case others haven't mentioned it - tea, miso soup, and a scoop of ice cream (mango, green tea, or red bean) to finish everything off :) -

Fast, cheap and reliable are adjectives that can be used to describe a number of things yet are ideally suited when discussing Sushi on Bloor. I have yet to be disappointed by their trusted Sushi Bronze. For the unbeatable price of $9.75 one gets 5 kinds of fish, 3 pcs of salmon roll, 3 pcs cumcumber roll and a spicy salmon hand roll and oh ya, Miso soup and salad too.
I should also mention their hours of operation. SOB is open Friday and Saturday until 12:00am and throughout the week from 12:00-10:45pm. With great prices and fantastic hours its no wonder this establishment has sat perched atop the competition in whats been referred to as the "Bloor Street Sushi Wars." Please don't let a temporary closure By Order Of The Medical Officer Of Heath dissuade you from sampling SOB and its many delights. Its only temporary people. -

My friend and I visited Sushi on Bloor on a Saturday night - we were told that the wait would be about 20 minutes and were given a ticket number. We waited just abut 20 minutes and were bought to our table. As mentioned in previous reviews, miso soup was brought to our table right away; tea and eater followed shortly after.
The menu was expansive and reasonably priced - we ordered a few rolls, the sushi pizza, and the beef bento box. The food was absolutely delicious and well-portioned, and service prompt. The ice cream was a nice touch to end dinner.
We had no complaints about dinner and Sushi on Bloor definitely is on the list for future Toronto visits. -

I walked around Bloor and Bathurst looking for a place for lunch. All the places seemed to be deserted, but lo and behold, Sushi on Bloor was packed.
We entered the restaurant, and we were quickly shown to our table. We didn't take long to decide what we wanted to eat: We both had the chicken teriyaki lunch special for $5.99 which is a bento box style lunch. It includes tea, miso soup, salad, avocado sushi rolls, rice and chicken teriyaki. We also had a salmon teriyaki roll and spicy tuna roll on the side.
The miso soup was delicious. It was probably the best miso soup I've ever had. The bento box itself was pretty tasty, and for $5.99 it was a great value! The only negative thing I can say about the bento box is that the salad wasn't very fresh, but even that didn't stop me from eating, and enjoying it.
The salmon teriyaki roll was amazing, definitely one of the best I've had in Toronto. The spicy tuna roll was okay. I felt it wasn't as spicy as I would have liked, since it tasted like a regular tuna roll. The person I was with greatly enjoyed both rolls, so maybe I'm way too picky when it comes to my spicy tuna.
Service can be a little slow, but nothing you can't handle. It took a while for our waitress to come and clear the table, and she seemed swamped by having to deal with so many tables and customers. They should consider hiring more people.
Sushi on Bloor is great value for your money. You won't be disappointed. -

Late in the first season of the L Word, before it spiraled into indiscriminate lady-humping and Jenny was still somewhat redeemable, there is a scene where Candace, the sexy harlot contractor, is demonstrating to Bette, the impossibly-desirable, wrestling-with-monogamy museum director, the realistic triangle of workmanship: fast, cheap, and good. You can always have two, she explains lustily, but never all three.
Sushi-loving Candace clearly never came here.
The sheer volume of food you get with any $5 order is borderline obscene. For around $30, a table of four could share any number of fat, bulbous, overstuffed maki of the gods: spicy crunchy tuna too big to fit in your mouth; yellowtail handrolls that squirt fish out of the bottom when you bite into it; sweet potato tempura making love to creamy avocado; inside-out wasabi salmon maki that is JUST THICK CUTS OF EFFING SALMON, ROLLED AROUND GINGER. Oh, and to start? Insanely delicious char-grilled squid, bbq beef maki wrapped around green onion, and an avocado salad that will break your heart.
Also, they plop down miso soup when you sit down like other, lesser restaurants do water.
O, Sushi on Bloor. Resting place of my heart. I don't have an iphone nor do I even live in Toronto anymore, yet I still believe myself mayor.Listed in: Hogtown's Highlights, OM NOM SUSHI SNARF

Maybe I'm biased, but the sushi here does not taste fresh. Most sushi in Toronto in fact doesn't taste fresh. I've been here maybe 3-4 times and the service is quick, both upstairs and downstairs.
Some of the white sauces they put on the sushi doesn't taste very good. I do like how they offer you complementary green tea ice cream at the end of your meal. -

You want decent quality, cheap sushi and lots of it? This is the place for you. Most rolls were 5-6$, and they were huge. You must try the mango roll, bbq'd eel + mango = delish.
I also had some sushimi, it was a little too warm for my liking, and the pieces were too big. I'm a big boy, and I had trouble sticking and entire piece into my mouth.
This is a bang for your buck place. If you want sushi and you are nearby, then don't hesitate to come here. -

5.99 lunch combos ? with salad & miso soup included ? yes please ! whenever we're in the area, my bf & i usually go and order one appetizer & 3 combos and stuff ourselves silly . AND we get leftovers . for cheap sushi, it doesnt get much better .
OH ! for app, we always get this grilled fish .. a lot of times theyre out of it tho . i dont remember what the fish is called but it MELTS in your mouth . i actually like this more than the sushi =P -

This used to be my standby cheap sushi place in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Loved the sushi pizza and the free ice cream!
However, new management took over and expanded the place, and it became a nightmare for a couple of reasons. First, is that they have a really bad reservation system. If you reserve for a certain time, you still have to wait at least half an hour to get your seat. And the last two times I went, I had food poisoning from the sushi.... unfortunately I'm never coming here again. -

I love the food here. The fish is fresh, prices are dirt cheap, portions are HUGE and it's absolutely delicious! Hands down the best sushi value in town
Went for a late dinner and was seated within about 10 minutes. Food was quick to arrive and tasted really good. They give you a free soup when you sit down and a scoop of ice cream when you're done. How awesome is that? The only con about this place is that they're sometimes understaffed and are too busy to accommodate customers. Another note to also remember is that the place gets packed by 6:00pm so expect a 1hr wait time where lineups are out the door. I really don't know how they afford to sell their food for so cheap. -

Okay...overdue to update given the health scare (google it and you'll know)...but I'm not ready to write this place off.
They've renovated the inside, put up new paint, lighting and bank seating. Cosmetic yes but still refreshing.
The food is still great. Fresh, fresh sushi, (the stuff moves out the door) so that's all that matters. They throw in the miso soup, salad and red bean ice cream, so this place is still got the best value anywhere.
People will snub their noses at "cheap" sushi and the previous history of this place, but you can't argue with great fresh tasting sushi at a great price. I'll take the risk and let my taste buds decide.Listed in: Sushi...eat it and you'll live…, Sushi in Toronto

Sushi on Bloor was delicious! Quick seating, great service, yummy foods!
That said, it had a few drawbacks. I tried their Sashimi Silver plate (it's a plate full of slices of fish). The slices were a little big (this could be a good thing!). The sashimi was a little bit too cold, as if they kept their sushi bar at an abnormaly low temperature. One slice tasted good on the outside, but it was a little frozen on the inside. Eek! I wish the slices of fish came with something like lemon slices, but maybe I'm being too picky. Also, I requested no tuna, and some other fish to replace it. Instead, they gave me the usual salmon, plus 3 more salmon. This was probably because salmon is generally a cheaper fish (from my knowledge), but I was hoping for something else, like yellowtail, squid, or red snapper... mmm...
The green tea was very yummy, same with the ginger salad, and miso soup.
All in all, good place to eat something quick and easy. I would not suggest the sashimi though. -

I was excited to try this place but its just not good. Just looking at their most basic maki rolls and you can tell its not authentic, not tasty and looked like it was made by someone with no training at all. their sushi rice taste like regular rice and the maki rolls were like 90% rice, 10% filling and poorly made at that. Not to mention their tempura is a oily greasy mess and miso soup were bland.
There are okay cheap sushi out there. There are even great unauthentic japanese food out there...but this was just bad.
Never again. -

I really love this place.
YES you will likely have to wait for a table (line up moves quick though) and the service is mediocre.
But really you don't go here for the service/atmosphere, I go for the CHEAP big portions of good sushi!
The $5.99 lunch special is an absolute bargain.
I really like their mango roll...it's mango, unagi and tempura bits. YUM! Or if I'm feeling health conscious, I'll order a seafood salad (giant green salad with salmon sashimi, shrimp and other seafood goodies on top for $6). The ikayaki is nice too.Listed in: My fav cheap eats, Cheap eats Annex edition

One week ago I would have given this place five stars but then I called today at 4:30 to get my usual S7 lunch special they said not only had the price jumped, but they had cut the hours from 12-5 to 12-3! From now on, Its new generation sushi all the way!

I've been there several times. I never found anything special with with Sushi on Bloor. The food is ok, the wait time to get a seat is ridiculous. And the service really sucks, it took the servers a while to get our orders.
If you've eaten at one sushi restaurant at the Annex, you've been to all of them.... that just my opinion.
After seeing that link about the restaurant being shut down, I doubt I'll be going back there.
