Review from Marcel R.
Mississauga, ON
4/12/2012
I'm officialy a fan of sushi one. This place is conveniently located right across my workplace, so I go here often.
Their lunch special is very reasonably priced for a sushi joint, I'd rather go here to have the lunch special rather then having to buy fast food at sheppard center.
Regarding the AYCE, I think this is one of the best that I've ever been in terms of quality and preparation (Tip: Go before or after lunch hour if you're going for AYCE since it tend to get overly crowded during lunch hour, and the food will take forever to come during that time span, making AYCE a bad option)
Overall, I'd definitely come back here whenever I'm having sushi craving. -

Went back a month later and the service was again not great. Food was not satisfactory. The salmon sashimi had a weird texture and the tempura batter was a little cakey!
It's nice that the place is very close to the Toronto Centre for the Arts.1 Previous Review:

Not all of the orders served. Go when it's not busy. Other wise, not bad for the price. :)

Oh sushi one! Great prices (especially their lunch specials), good sushi, hilariously bad service. I always get the same lunch special, but half the time the bring it after all my friends are already finished their food or they bring me the wrong one (and one that contains fish, which I don't eat). Staff is disinterested and standoffish. But this is one place that I don't mind the bad service. It's actually quite entertaining and part of the overall experience. My friends and I like to see whether they'll bring me the right order or whether I'll get my food at all. My one friend and I would randomly yell out "Sushi One!" in amused amazement throughout our meal whenever there was a typical bad service moment, with a loud one at the end in surprise when they actually brought us our bills in a timely manner.
The lunch specials are great - $7.50 for 2 sets of maki rolls, a salad and a miso soup or for teriyaki. The tofu teriyaki is tempura silken tofu as opposed to fried tofu (I prefer fried tofu in my teriyaki personally).
The decor is nice and in the summer they have a lovely patio with a fountain. They do get busy busy around lunch time so come early or late to avoid the rush or get takeout and eat in the nearby park (assuming it's summer time and you can order ahead from your office).
It's one of the few places in that area to eat where there are vegan options for good prices. Don't let the service dissuade you - if you're hungry and in north york, I recommend checking it out if not just to play the "SUSHI ONE!" game. -

Korean owned sushi place on Yonge St near Sheppard.
We had tried the all you can eat menu for lunch one day but you know the AYCE menu wasn't presented up front nor did I see any mention of it anywhere? It's top secret it seems... if I didn't hear about it from Yelp reviews I wouldn't have known to ask about it.
Some notable dishes I had:
Chicken cutlet with curry
Potato Croquette
Agedashi tofu
I'd be back.. :) -

I came here for lunch yesterday with a co-worker and it was very busy! Sushi One now has an AYCE lunch menu which I find has made this place busier. The food is decent for sushi and yesterday I had the S9 which features 6 cucumber and 6 spicy tuna pieces. The lunch specials also come with a big bowl of salad and miso soup. My co-worker had another lunch special which came with pieces of tempura (sweet yam). The lunch specials are very decently priced here ($6.99 on average) and you will be full. I didn't need to eat dinner afterwards. I paid for my co-worker as well so lunch in total came out to be $21 including tips which was not bad at all.
A couple of tips:
1. For those who work in the vicinity and want to take-out, you can always call ahead and pre-order. A great alternative if you want warm sushi lunch
2. Sushi-One also delivers dinner (not sure for lunch, but perhaps if the order is big enough) in the near area. Living near Bayview and Shep, I have had delivery many times in the winter
3. Service is pretty quick here so for people who work, it is manageable to be able to sit down and have lunch within the hour
Service is standard. Never had an unpleasant experience here. Our waitress yesterday asked if we wanted separate bills before hand which was a nice touch.Listed in: 30 Day Yelp Challenge -…

1. Nice environment but was too cold sometimes.
2. I always get Bento Box Deluxe, which was with low price but lots of food of all kinds (vegie, rice, sushi, soup, meat, fruit, etc.)
3. Tried something else the other day, tasted good too.
4. Highly recommended. -

So If you look at my previous review I said I would try them one more time. We did that yesterday. Oh boy do I regret it! Yesterday was our anniversary so we thought we'd get some nice take out for dinner & eat it at home by candlelight. Everything went wrong from the start.
1) The delivery was 30-45 minutes later than they said they would be. And the driver apologized but said he was the only delivery guy that night & was busy.
2) When we opened up the food things like the sushi were actually bad because it got too warm. Probably from being in an insulated bag with the other food we ordered which was hot.
3) After eating the food we thought was still good (we didn't eat the salmon sushi pizza we ordered) both hubby & I got sick to our stomachs.
4) When we called afterwards to complain, they were not answering their phone.
I would not order from these guys again. It's really bad, the new management at this restaurant has taken it from a great place to eat, to mediocre to don't touch that stuff with a ten foot pole! You've been warned!Listed in: Nom Nom Nom...Food reviews

The weekday specials here are good but there isn't much on the weekend. The menu prices are pretty high compared to places downtown like Sushi on Bloor. Unfortunately the quality and portion sizes don't really make up for that, but it's not bad.
If you're in the area, Sushi Moto across the street is more swanky, but Sushi One is slightly less expensive than that. This place is pretty average; I can't think of anything that makes it stand out. Sometimes location is all you need to survive. -
Review from Anne M.

This place is near a federal government building... so you know it must have to have cheap lunch specials to stay in business. For $7.50 my typical order was the lunch special: a miso soup, a salad (chopped iceburg lettuce with tangy dressing), and I usually got either the spicy tuna roll or shrimp tempura roll and either avocado or cucumber roll. Nice and filling!
Lunch was good, filling, and inexpensive. The only downside is that there isn't much substance in the sides. The miso is basically cloudy broth with a few cubes of tofu and the salad is little more than iceburg lettuce and shredded carrot. The upside is that the sushi is consistently decent. Another bonus is a very sunny patio in the summer! -

PROS
1. Good tasting, nicely presented food. Way above average for a restaurant with All You Can Eat (AYCE)
2. Good dining environment, nicely renovated
3. Exceptional service, always very attentive, polite and patient.
4. Reasonably priced (on the cheap side for non-AYCE)
CONS
1. For AYCE, the fried dishes tend to always come first to fill us up, a common tactic used by AYCE restaurants
OVERALL
Highly recommended! If fried food comes first, just eat it slow until the sushi/sashimi comes : ) -
Review from Albert W.

Sushi One gets points for having some nice decor and good service, but it didn't make up for the food. The fried tofu appetizer was ok and I liked the sauce it was in - more than the overly salty soy sauce for my sashimi. The sashimi itself was decently fresh but I was not impressed at all at the ghettoness of the salad which consisted flatly of lettuce and shredded carrots in a weak "ginger" dressing in a plastic bowl. The miso soup tasted like something from a can.
It's a good bang for your buck though, and if I were to come back I'd try the kitchen food.Listed in: North York

I decided to give this place a try for some take-out, despite the fact that it's right across the street from my favourite sushi bar in the city, Sushi Moto, as I was heading south and didn't want to bother crossing the boulevard at night. The restaurant is clean and the staff was friendly, and it was busy, always a good sign for a sushi restaurant. It took longer than I would have liked to get my food, but it was definitely tasty. I tried the spicy tuna rolls and the spicy scallop rolls. The tuna rolls were the superior of the two. It was good, overall. I certainly wasn't disappointed, and I would go back. Generally, I much prefer Moto, despite the fact that Moto is a little pricer, but the bar makes up for it in ambience, size, vibe, taste, and the extent of the bar, especially the single malts and the sake selection.

3. Quick Service
4. Convenient
5. Absolutely Delicious
6. Affordable
7. Appetite satisfying
8. Large selection of veggie options
I really could go on and on, but I don't see the need.
