Review from Heather B.
Scarborough, ON
My Hot-Spot for lunch!
Absolutey love this place - Sushi in my opinion is great and the service is fast, so you are in and outta there if you have a short lunch break.
My usual poison is the Sushi Bronze.
It gives you a little bit of everything. Cucumber roll, Salmon roll and 5 pieces of assorted Sushi plus a salmon hand roll for $11.30 with tax.
Im not a fan of avocado so that is what I usually get unless Im craving a Bento Box.
Lunch specials go for $6.99 - 7.99. -

We have been going here for almost 8 years. The food is great and so is the service. it is always consistent, and friendly. It is walking distance for me which is another plus. If you are driving you have to wait around for a spot on the street though, which is a little tricky in the evenings. The only downside (no big deal but worth mentioning) is that they don't offer brown rice. I don't understand this? Ho Su up the street offers brown rice in all the meals and even your rolls for an extra $1. Given the fact that rice is so damn inexpensive, what does it take to offer it? Anyway, the food, the staff, the prices are great otherwise :)

Talk about a cheap lunch. For $6.99 I got a lunch special that included nicely made chicken teriyaki with soup salad and the usuals. I have to say that this place rocks. I come here often for lunch becuase it's convenient it's a good deal and the service is great.
The portion sizes are pretty big and most people are full by the time they leave the restaurant. Finally, I have to say the renovation in this location is much better than the other sushi restaurants in the area. They did a great job with putting together the atmosphere.
I'm definitely a fan. :)Listed in: 30 days challenge

When was the last time you had your sushi while sitting on a giant boat shaped table? Never?? Well my friend, I think it's about time.
At Sushi Supreme you certainly get your bang for your buck.
I've been here numerous times and I've never been disappointed.
If you decide to venture over there for lunch, you're in for an even better deal! (6.99-7.99)
Price aside, the sushi is good. Big portions and big pieces of avocado make me happy. Big pieces of avocado in sushi makes me even happier.
Their Bento Box is my go to meal 97.7% of the time. I love it because it has variety. It starts with soup and salad, followed by 6 pieces of maki, vegetable and shrimp tempura all on top of the teriyaki grilled protein of your choice. And what better to end off a 11$ meal than with peeled oranges.
Now thats value for complete Japanese satisfaction. -

Great place. Good food, plenty of it at cheap prices. We usually do takeout since we live in the neighbourhood. If you've only had their sushi you should try their noodles - you'll be doing yourself a favor. Shame that Rick (the owner) isn't there much anymore - he must be at their downtown location - it doesn't have as much spirit when he's not there - but Mrs. Rick keeps an eye on the place. Staff these days could be a little friendlier. You can tell it's a great place because there are four sushi restaurants within three blocks and this is the only one that's busy ALL the time.

The portions here are enormous! And it's really reasonably priced. Between three of us (including a couple of hefty-eating virile men), two Sushi Silvers and a Tempura Bento Box were far too much to finish off. The sushi salmon rolls had the biggest ratio of fish to rice I've ever seen.
The entire bill for the night, with a bottle of sake, was $51 tax and tip included. Service was quick and pleasant. -

This little hub was a nice lunch experience that cost me $6.95 for an assortment of five rolls that included Avocado, which, despite being "mushy" and falling apart were nonetheless tasty. These were flanked by Spicy Salmon/ Tuna rolls which were, in my eyes a misnomer and again not spicy enough to my experienced South Asian buds. Service was average.

I could not resist the 18-piece veggie tempura dinner with soup and salad for six bucks! Tempura is my major culinary weakness.
The tempura has a nice mix of veggies -- mushroom, sweet potato, zucchini, Japanese eggplant, and broccoli -- without any of the filler veggies that I never want. I can't decide which is the best piece to save for last. :) They're a little sparse on the batter as if it were a bit too watery.
The place is really warm and comfortable and not pretentious. It looks like a bar, with all the fixtures and wood and metal, and they're playing classic rock/pop in the background. The art hanging on the walls consists of random Japanese tchotchkes, but otherwise it just looks like a bar (a clean shiney well-kept bar, not a dive at all!). It's a fairly small place, and I don't think there was a table with more than four seats, so don't take a big group. It's not accessible as there's a step up to get in and the washrooms are upstairs.
I'll call this 3.5 stars for now. I got takeout, so I'm sure I'll be adding another star once I get to try the sushi and/or eat in the restaurant (so that the food is fresher than if it had just had a ten-minute ride in my bike basket).
Edit 21 Feb 2011: how can this sushi be so good and so cheap? There must be a catch. Just veggie rolls, of course, but they're very flavourful and stuffed to the gills. The wakame panko maki is an oddity but very tasty. A whole other star just for these rolls and the speed of delivery. Damn, these things are addictive. I appreciate restaurants that get experimental with veggie maki. A big mouthful of slippery wakame and crunchy panko... I love it until I have to start flossing bits of seaweed fibre out of my teeth. But that goes with the territory of being a seaweed salad junkie.
Okay, I'm right around the corner from them and I still had to order $20 of stuff to get delivery (too cold to walk, shuddup) but it's worth it. I'll probably save the veggie udon for breakfast because the rolls are just so satisfying. $20 plus tax and tip got me two big stuffed veggie rolls, plus veggie udon, plus 18 pieces of tempura and miso soup and salad. -

I HAD to order sushi for delivery the other day because it was raining and there was a group of us working in the office, so we didn't have much of a choice
Sushi Supreme minutely redeemed itself with:
- Tuna Pizza Sushi: pretty good
- Nagima Yaki: Not at all a type of sushi but pretty yummy
- Seaweed Salad: good
Otherwise, i stand by my other reviews- the rest of their sushi are huge but absolutely NOT tasty2 Previous Reviews: Show all »

Great lunch spot. I spotted a mango roll on the lunch menu and had to try it out.
Place has nice-ish decor for a cheap sushi joint.
Lunch specials are $6.99. Sushi roll portions are big, similar to Sushi on Bloor or Big Sushi.
I tried lunch special E which was a mango roll with a bbq salmon roll. I didn't realize the salmon roll would actually be cooked salmon, but it was. It was plain grilled salmon rolled with cucumber, very dry. Didn't like it. The mango roll was good - mango, crab and tobiko.
The service was really good here, but there was only one other table (we ate close to 4pm so most people were finished eating lunch) so not sure how good they are when the place is packed.
Wouldn't go out of my way to return here, but if you're in the area it's definitely a decent choice for a cheap sushi lunch. -

This place is just up the street from me and open late enough to fulfill my boyfriend's random sushi cravings.
The menu gets major props from the standpoint of a complete sushi novice as myself for having detailed descriptions of all the ingredients.
Also, the amount you get for the money you pay is fantastic.
There is an upstairs area also, which I've never been, but allows for large groups of up to 35 people (reservations needed)
The roll choices are plentiful (to the point of being almost redundant with just one ingredient differentiating some) but the sushi and sashimi combinations are chefs choice (substitutions are extra and you only get 2).
The array of teriyaki, noodles and soup options are good too if you have sushi-phobic friends. -

On a day that I decide that a girl's gotta have some carbs, I head over to Sushi Supreme for balance. Why you ask? Because if I can't save carbs, I may as well save money.
Sushi Supreme is a practical sushi restaurant in The yuppy-filled Yonge and Davisville area which offers good sushi and hearty bento boxes for an excellent price. The restaurant is not much to look at and the customers are banged in and out over the course of the day but the value of the meal you are served is tremendous.
Sushi Supreme is the perfect Wednesday night , I just went to the gym and I'm too starving to cook restaurant, but if you want a dragged out, dining experience head elsewhere fast. -
Review from Elvin W.
Markham, ON
Gold dragon roll 3.5/5
Chicken butter yaki 1.5/5
Tempura u-don 2/5
The lack of Asian patrons and the Chinese (not japanese) waitstaff gave us pause as we entered this non traditionally (and non japanese) decorated sushi store. It feels like it used to be a small bistro or bar.
The gold dragon roll came very very quickly. Warm and fresh, the shrimp tempura was fried too lightly and was not crunchy, and the roll could have used a bit more sauce.
From bad to worse.
The udon came. The tempura was bland without the soup, and was overpowered by the soup base when dunked. The noodles were overdone and soggy.
The the butter yaki came. A platter of low cost ingredients (onions, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli) with a small portion of chicken that had only the slightest hints of being grilled. It looked very bland.
How wrong I was.
It wasn't bland at all. It was super-salty, I'm guessing they used salt and salted butter with garlic salt and just a dash of salted pepper. I am not certain whether the terriyaki sauce was too sweet or just seemingly so after the overdose of salt.
It seems our initial hesitation was well founded. I am saddened that yelp has failed me so for the first time.
N.B. If I were to review Russian or portugese or African cuisine for example (just not Asian), it would not be 100% reliable as I have not sampled enough to develop a relavent palette. As such, please read the other reviews with a grain of salt. (which the restaurant provides in abundance)
Overall value for money
Service NA/5

Nice modest small restaurant with great sushi. Large menu with many options. Most dishes come with salad and miso soup. The upstairs seats about 30 and is used when the downstairs is over flowing. Fast friendly wait staff. Very reasonable prices. I always get the Makimono set (18 pieces for $12). My favourite sushi restaurant in all of Toronto. Go there for the lunch specials.

so i havent had anything in the restaurant itself, but every time my dad invites us over and orders sushi, its from this place.
there were several vegetarian options like rolls with tofu in them, cucumber and avocado rolls and these rolls with yellow veggies in them. in the take out trays they give you heaping portions of accouterments.
twice i noticed someone in the group reach for some interesting looking roll that was all pink and shaped like a cylinder, like all other rolls, but all it was was a bunch of ginger wrapped up in saran wrap. these were in addition to the clumps that sat across the tray from the golf balls of wasabi.
the best part of the mix was definitely the sashimi. each piece was about the size of a brownie. it was clearly something that would befit the name "hunk of".
(its even fresh and tasty a couple days later...what up leftovers!!) -
